good or bad?

[fordpower21]

I’m thinking of running a programmer on my truck this weekend. I wanted to get the message boards opinions to see if it’s a good idea to run a programmer without any gauges?


thanks.

First off, what year, engine, any other mods, etc?

It would be good to know what type of truck you have, but IMO you need to see what's going on with a set of gauges even if you're takin it easy with the truck.. you never know what can come up

I'm pretty sure that any body on the org would say that it's not a good idea to run a programmer without any gauges, better to be safe then messing your truck up.

dont matter what year you got... i would not run any tuner without gauges

i agree with everyone above

2001 f250 7.3 all stock, in a few weeks I'm doing doing some mod's- intake and exhaust

Dont put on the programmer, I wouldnt risk it, especially all stock

what programmer exactly are you thinking of putting on anyways?

[fordpower21]

So, I decided to get gauges first, and then play around with my trucks hp.

Thanks for the advice.

This is my first diesel truck. I was wondering what steps I should take before applying the programmer?
