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 ***.

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.

Negative. I hope that doesn't make me a "punk" or something.

Suggestions on those items?

Thanks to everybody here for the words of welcome. I'm certain I don't need to say so, but other than a Diablo Predator programmer, I'm new to diesel performance--I do know the potential is enourmous.

Once I get my F-250 back from the warranty head gasket repair, sounds like intake and exhaust should be next. If anybody has thoughts on which intake and exhaust mods are best, I'd sure like to hear them.

Thanks again for the warm welcome and the helpful responses.

JMart is right.You want your truck to breath easier.And get rid of the exhaust gasses better before you start pumping more fuel into the engine or your e.g.t's will start going up.And welcome to diesel bombers.
