hey guys just bought an 02 7.3 after selling my 12 valve last week...

Here's the specs extd cab long bed auto with a mbrp 4 inch turbo back exhaust and a k&n cai, no cut pcm box so i don't believe it had a chip on it

I was wondering what the limitations of the truck are before i start breaking stuff and what kind of setup to go with as far as performance

any help will be appreciated

thanks guys

and it has 162000 miles on it

 

gauges are really nice and helpful, a chip with custom tunes would really help,

 

What are your goals for the truck?

What do you use it for?

Info like that would help us help you.

 

dont really tow much other than the race car or boat once or twice a year basically a daily driver / playtoy and guages should be in soon... is the stock tranny temp reliable or should i get one of them also? i was looking into chips such as a dp tuner or php what do you think? anything to go along with a chip to help?

 

me personally would buy an aftermarket gauge, php is great thats what im running, with the chip on 120 race i can pull our mud truck on a trailer and my egt stay down, how much power you looking at trying ta get out of your truck?

 

i wanna be in the mid 14s if thats too much too ask...

i put an sct on my truck just to see what it would do and i punched it from a stop and once it hit 70 mph it threw the icp uncontrollable code... whats that mean? do i have a weak hpop?

 

the icp is a sensor on the driver side head, its directly behind the alternator, might have a bad icp, how much hp did you add? what gauges?

 

it was the sct performance tune which was 120 hp i believe so should i get another sensor?

 

pull the plug off of it and and see if theres oil where the plug goes, if there is its bad, (if im incorrect someone please correct me) but i would probably would change it, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will jump in put there input LOL

 

alright thanks... i talked to a buddy of mine with the same truck running a custom tune from dp and he put a bypass valve on a sensor that supposedly cuts off the fuel to the engine and that stopped his from throwing the code is that something legit or was it all b.s.
