a question for superduty owners......

Toobad is that your garage at home? with the lift and everything?
I'll keep the "junkpile" in mind if I ever have to have mine lifted. What about my speakerbox that's wedged between the back of the first row seating, and the front of the back seat? That ok?

You sound like you know what is going on with these pickups . Can the dealer tell if you have had a chip in your pickup or not. How about a after market aircleaner like an AFE?

[mschn99]

chip, yes, it will set a code in your PCM that your scanner or chip will not be able to clear for PCM memory failure, and it would take 80-100 full drive cycles without the chip or program in for that code to be cleared by the pcm. the only way i could tell if you had an aftermarket air intake would be if there was visual evidence of some sort.

99, yes, I have a lift at home. Been in the biz along time, you seem to get alot of tools over the years. I also am lucky to have land to put things like a polebarn. Living in town would cramp my style.

As for your speaker box....It's gota come out to get the bolts just behind the front seats. I have had to remove worst than that to pull cabs.

[99Smokin73Stroker]

That's cool, nice garage! My buddy has one that's got heated and has a large drain in the center, which makes it nice for working on vehicles and washing them. As for the speaker box I can easily pull it from the truck. It's just wedged perfectly between the seats. But I don't think I'll have to worry about pulling the cab anytime soon...I hope!

I had head gaskets replaced just after 8000miles I was not to thrilled to see my new truck taken apart but once I got it back and time past Im alright with it no squeeks or rattles to speek of.

Good to hear that Burtonch and welcome to Powerstroke.org!

[99Smokin73Stroker]

Glad that you're satisfied with your truck Burt! Was your truck factory stock when they went out, or had you already chipped it?

[Burtonch]

It was bone stock when the gaskets went, I did chip it 2 weeks ago with the edge juice and guess what............blown head gaskets again. I will be taking it to the dealer to hopefully have it fixed. I removed all module,attitude and EGT probe. I installed a threaded pipe plug and ground it down flat a liitle black paint and hopefully there will be no issues with the warranty. To be honest I am quite disatisfied with this truck. I know I will not be putting the chip back in and I am considering selling the truck. I now have 28K on it. I am a Chevy guy but wasnt to thrilled buying the duramax (to new) I am thinking a dodge with a manual trans.
