Studs?

[rescuemedic13]

05 f250.Proposed Mods: egr delete, 4 inch turbo back exhaust, and sct programmer, gauges. will this cause to much stress on the factory headbolts and head gasket. The truck is a daily driver, i dont run it hard, dont race it either, only tow a 10k TT Occasionally.

your right foot may and i would put them in imo they are worth it if the keep your heads from warping

I do plan on doing studs but dont have the funds right now. Will the other mods cause damage in the mean time if i only use it as i stated?

Mine is not studded yet. Still ok and I run her pretty hard! Just get tunes written for your truck and you should be safe. Watch your egts Keep em under 1300 deg and you should be ok.

There are lots of people running SCT tunes without studs. I ran mine that way for 27K miles and just got studs and head gaskets this month. I would plan on getting the studs at some point though.
