New Truck!

Well it looks like I am going to get the 97 CC F-350 I was asking questions about. To those that gave me tips, THANK YOU!!! Now I just need some more tips. The truck has a 4" lift, 315/75/16 and 4:10 gears. It is an auto. It drove pretty good just shifted a little odd. He has not recalibrated the speedo. My thing is I have driven a standard 97 F-250 2wd and the get up and go on the standard is much stronger, is this the usual case between auto and stick? I know I will do a few mods when I get it, what are some of the best. I have read about the DIY intake, FP mod, it already has a DP and staight pipe exhaust. What is the 17 HPOP? A TW chip? How hard is the 6.0 intercooler? Is there a write-up? He has an EDGE tuner that is coming with it, any good? I know alot of questions for one post just spent alot of time reading on this forum the last 2 days and just want to spend the money once not twice. It will mainly be used for towing a 22 ft. enclosed trailer.

congrats man. i would ditch the edge chip and the 17 hpop is the stocker from a 99-03 truck i believe.

What exactly is it and what does it do, 17HPOP?

its a high pressure oil pump. not sure why people upgrade them but heres a bump for ya.

the bigger hpop can just supply more oil to the injectors,prolly more noticeable in higher rpms i would think.

yep what he said. just read about it. some people use dual hpop's to supply oil to bigger injectors.

Pm Raul@stealth-automotive and talk to him about the tw and get gauges too

Will be getting gauges, forgot that one! My main thing is about the shifting and feel of it. One good thing, the other 97 I drove is my brothers, so at least I have some help getting to know the ins and outs of diesel.
