hey guys in new here, i bought a 2002 7.3 about nine months ago and love it. it has about 155k on it right now. looking for some suggestions on what might be some good basic upgrades to do like a different exhaust, or chip/ programer ect... i do some towing and hauling with it so im not looking to make it a race truck but I'm all ears on what you guys think are must dose to a truck like mine.

thanks

 

Cold air intake, 4 or 5 inch exhaust, ts 6 position tuner would be a good start for you

 

As said before, a intake, exhaust and either a TS or hydra with custom tunes. That will put you about 300hp

 

what kind of look and power are you wanting?

 

not looking for a ton more power just some stuff to make it run a little more efficient(has the power i need already but wouldn't mind a little more pep) thinking about putting some 35 inch tiers on it. thinking about straight piping the exhaust, any one have any thoughts on that? any one done that or have suggestions?

 

I have 35 in togo all terrains with 20 inch rockstar rims,and I have already put in a muffler delete with a 5in pipe straight back. My truck has some *****! with a great rumble too. I would recommend getting a chip. which I just purchased the tony wild man 6 position chip. I should be really happy with that when I get it. That chip will help give me some more power for hauling my toy hauler up and down these california high grade mountains.ooooo just about forgot make sure you purchase a pillar with some gauges so you can moniter your mods so you don't run to hot, or over boost.

 

The first thing I would do is the gauges. If its automatic I would run a pyro, boost, and trans temp. If its manual you can get away with pyro and boost. I just installed a TS 6 position chip on mine. Now for AFE intake and exhaust! Have fun with it man, diesels are fun
