could i tear my motor up with a dp and stock injectors???

[red stroker]

first of all i just dont want to harm my truck. now i know u can tear em up stock but u would just haveto have a heavy foot, dont get me wrong i want to blow some smoke but still keep it together. i also would like to know if the down pipe is really that big of a priority...... what im sayin is, i want to do a few things to my truck just not something thats going to need this, this, and that.

just remember it is the right foot that tears them up not programming so i would say no remember 7.3 liters is a big engine i am fleet manager at a ski resort and our snowcats have 7.2 liter engines you have a lot of motor there i would not worry about hurting the motor more in the way of the tranny also dont forget to watch gauges heat is what kill stuff

yeah thats what i thought, but i just wanted to make sure.

Get gauges, straight pipe the truck, put a DIY intake on it and get a custom chip from someone like Tony Wildman.

That'll make good power and be cheap to get smoke and economy.

thats the plan.. i already have the gauges and a straight pipe..... and to be competely honest i ahve a five speed in a wrecked powerstroke just waiting for so if i tear up a tranny i dont give a sh!t.lol

Just FYI, the ZF5 is not a direct replacement, you will have to replace the rear driveshaft also and a few other things.

Plus, not to meantion it will make your truck slower.

It should be said a MILLION TIMES.

First thing you EVER do to a OBS PSD Truck is REPLACE THE DOWN PIPE!

It is VERY restrictive!
