Howdy. I’m new here. I joined the forum hoping I could get some input on my recently purchased pickup truck. I’d like to make mods to it but also to keep it classic. Big lift kits and big tires are not for me (they are nice but not for me) so if you have any suggestions for a 1997 dually F350, i would really appreciate it.

e99 intercooler, wicked wheel, exhaust, 6637 NAPA air intake with mesh cover (RiffRaff can hook ya up) EGT, fuel, trans and HPOP gauges if you can opt for the 4 pillar pod, Hydra or TS 5-switch are cool options! Tend to liven it up a bit!
BTW she's a beauty!

If you are thinking of a chip, the Hydra is the best option in that category. We do have them in stock. Top 3 things for basic performance upgrades are a tuner, exhaust, and upgraded air intake kit.

Tonneau covers are pretty nice too. We carry quite a few brands, but haven't had a chance to get them on the website yet.

If you want it to last, keep it stock. Any chip will kill the E4OD transmission unless upgraded (assuming it's an automatic?)

The only mods I'd recommend (off the top of my head) are:

1) delete EBPV

2) unplug fuel bowl heater

3) diamond eye 4" turbo back exhaust (with or without muffler... I run without)

4) install ground wire switch for PCM glow plug control with LED. You can monitor glow plug operation and kill them when not needed saving battery/relay/glow plug wear and tear.
