Banks stuff (Intercooler, turbo housings, compressor wheel) is good stuff, a bit over priced but good. You add to that a set of AC single shots and ditch there programing and your good to go.

I would really think about a set of AC code injectors (new) and some tuning from Power Hungry Performance, Beans Diesel Performance or Swamps Diesel.

I don't wish to change the programmer out, I like the fact that everything in this kit is designed to work together as a system and the kit gave a nice boost in performance as well. This truck is only used to tow a trailer, it doesn't need to be the fastest, loudest, black smoke blowing truck out there and the Banks kit gives a nice gain in towing performance without a bunch of smoke billowing out the exhaust. The remanufactured stock injectors will be more than sufficient for my application.

very true, PHP really doesn't smoke much at all and it out performed my banks chip by a long ways in every area, MPG, performance, and pulling power, it does smoke more right off the bat but once the turbo lights it cleans it up

Strange to start a thread about single shot injectors and then not want anymore HP is all... I can tow up to and above the legal GVW for my truck with little if any smoke...

Banks has junk Tranny tuning, junk motor tuning... Its your truck, and good luck with it!

You know what CSI has given you enough advice to save you thousands of dollars and having a truck that runs like $hit. Listen to what he says. If you ever get the chance to drive or ride in a truck with real tuning and quality injectors you'll see what he's talking about. You sound like my 7 year old, ask a question then say it' the wrong answer. You should probally save yourself some embarassment and search the threads before you pull stupid $hit like this and make yourself sound like an a$$.

Now now... nothing like that... Asking questions is how we learn. I just dont see the logic in staying with banks tuning... they cant (or could not- reason they call the 7.3 a dead platform) tune the tranny thru there chips, so they make you add another "box" to boost line pressure (all there "transcommand" does). They don't adjust shift points, don't do anything but ramp up the ICP and stretch out the injector PW...

As I said, its the OP truck, and he should do what he wants with it.

I would not buy a candy bar from EIS...

I'd like to add 4 IDM's before they sent one that worked... Pensacola isn't very good at QC...

Avoid RCD too. Dunno what the quality of their 7.3 stuff is, but their 6.0 stuff sucks (first hand) and they get an attitude when you ask why...

You sound like a first class moron. Ask a question and say the answer is wrong? My question was whether or not Pensacola Diesel was a company worth doing business with. Is your reading comprehension that horrible? CSIPSD answered, and I acknowledged his answer. Even a first grader could understand that.
As it turns out I have done some research while this post has been running its course. I found a potential solution to my problem, did some troubleshooting, and solved the problem. My injectors are fine and do not need replaced, my problem was a disconnected valve cover wiring harness. I purchased the locking clips and now all is well. My truck runs great again and no more service engine light.

It had nothing to do with reading comprehension MORON . You ask a question and when somebody gives you an answer you allready have it figured out, just like a first grader . Like I said in my first post do a little searching and you could probally figure it out. Your comprehension is horrible as is your ability to listen to people. There's nothing wrong with asking questions if you willing to listen instead of arguing. I'm glad you fixed it.
