I hope I'm doing this right.

I found this forum while doing an information search yesterday. My poor 2004 F-250 is at the dealer for a few days. I took it in for a recall on the fuel injection and an exhaust sensor and found out it had blown head gaskets and a bad EGR. They are doing this work under the extended warranty. The truck is essentially stock other than the Predator programmer.

I returned the program to stock before I took it in. Are they still going to know it was there?

I look forward to participating in the forum.

As for your question. I don't know. Hopefully, someone intimately familiar with your Ford, can answer it shortly.

Welcome.

See if the dealer will put headstuds in the truck while they have the cab off. You will have to pay for the studs and supply the studs, but you wont have the blown head gasket issue again. And you can make more power later on without having to worry as much.

I don't know if it's just this dealer, but they told me they are going to replace the studs without my asking. He said they don't want to keep dealing with head gaskets later.

Three tune. I haven't done a lot to this truck, and it's my 1st diesel. I want to do more, but I was kind of waiting for the extended warranty to expire @ five years. I'm sure it's nothing corpared to the trucks I see listed here, but with the hotest of the three Predator programs, it does haul ass.

What's the next thing to do after the programmer?

Hopefully you already have gauges and an intake/exhaust.

Welcome. If the dealer looks for it they will find it if they dont look for it they wont even care or know its there. Hope that helps.

Suggestions on those items?
