[dlsanders6oh]

Alright so today I had a load to Houston stopped to get fuel at a truck stop this guy is driving in the parking lot where the truckers park blowing black smoke all over the place the CB is getting heavy with truckers saying all kinda stuff lol look at this fool here and stuff like that OK so anyways he comes and parks kinda next to me he see's my SCT sticker thing on the door and comes over and starts telling me about his edge blah blah saying how good is it ..and did i see him blowing smoke around the parking lot I'm like yeah what you have done to it he tells me just the chip/exhaust/intake and wastegate pinched I was shocked b/c my 12v has a wastegate you can pinch it and will give you a little more power but i did not know the 6.0 had a wastegate so is this kid just talking bs?

There has been alot of these wastegate threads popping up in various forums I've noticed with regard to the 6.0, I wonder why it's doing that.

That's as good of a guess as any. I guess most of them are dodge people that have seen the "light" and haven't quite got all the ins and outs right yet, I dunno.
