7.3questions
 
Alright well i just bought a 99 F250 with the 7.3 im a cummins guy but i bought it cause the price was right so school me on these 7.3's whats the pros and cons what do i need to look for and im getting gauges and an exhaust asap.

Do an intake like a Napa 6637, do a 4" straight piped exhaust and get yourself some gauges. Is it an auto or manual?

skinnysfd 02-04-2011 11:42 AM

its an auto and yeah im doing the gauges and exhaust for sure. Its not gonna be my heavy pulling truck ive got the dodge for the heaveir loads. This truck is mainly for plowing and pulling job trailers around

Keep the questions coming, I'll do my best to answer. You don't need to cat. Straight pipe FTW!!!! Remove the cat and muffler and you will love the sound.
If your area tests for emissions, you will need to do whatever they require...

My CAT has been removed, on my '96 as well.

no emissions at all so not worried only thing is i love the way my dodge sounds straight piped but im gonna be doing some early morning plowing so will straight piped be as loud or louder than the dodge

Straight piped Powerstroke will have a higher pitch turbo sound. Dodge will overall be louder IMO.
