nah sure dont man, never even changed spark plugs in one. to each his own run whatever you want but for me im sticking to big injectors, im not worried about egts drivability, etc. these trucks are toys and I get to play all day. I dont want to here from the poor guys that cant afford to get power up reliably. Im playing in a different ball game here. Take your budget pulling trucks and overloaded underpowered overheating tow trucks somewhere else. This is a big money market and if you aint got the money to play keep it stock and let your wife go get groceries in it.

Are you really that juvenile and ignorant? throwing big *** parts into a truck is not building reliable power and you got alot to learn

Your reliability comes directly from your tuning. Big parts make big power and nothing lasts forever at high hp levels. All im saying is you shouldnt rely on a box, programer, chip, etc. to make the power you want. Make more use of hard parts and use less electronics. There are so many people stacking electronics on trucks and putting all that stress on their stock parts. If you wana tow heavy loads all the time get a class 8 or midliner. I dont understand why you would wana go backwards and go smaller to control egts or drivability. I say have a plan and choose the parts that will get you to the power level youre after. The guys that work their trucks 9 times out of 10 want it stock, they dont wana hear nothing about performance. I get tired of seeing these trucks come in with a bunch of cobbled together junk on them with stock turbos small hp increase injectors and electronics to the gills doin nothing more than puttin on a smoke show.

Someone needs schooling on a 24v
Maybe needs to be schooled in common sense as well.
