Time for some upgrades!
 
I just got back from a weekend out camping, this was the first time that I pulled my 28' fifthwheel with my 7.3 and was not too impressed.:humm: I ordered gauges but they did not come in until tuesday so not sure how much boost I was putting out or what my egt's were but it seemed to struggle. My next purchase is going to be the 6 pos phoenix tuner from php, hopefully that should help. Also would like to change out my K&N air filter.
Any other upgrades anyone can give would be much appreciated.:c:

Does it already have exhaust? I ditched my K&N a week ago for a 6637 and like the results. You'll like the 6-POS.

I, last summer, was in your same position, I tow a 2000 Wellcraft Martinique 2600. First I installed a 3 pillar mount with EGT, Turbo & Transmission. My local diesel guy told me that Nappa sells a cheap Trans cooler that fits right in and now with the gauges I find that it keeps it nice and cool under load. The Tymar intake is a lot nicer than a clone. Plus its good to support those who figure these things out. Dale also sells 4" 409 SS exhaust, I just got a quote for under $350. That is my next add this spring. Also the suspension on mine is lacking and for towing its very noticeable. I seems to have a very bouncy ride.

Ok so finally got my egt and boost gauge hooked up.:jump: I also ordered a trans temp gauge but I guess I did not research enough because I guess for a man tran you dont need one so if anyone is looking for one... With that being said i now will have a open space in my pillar for a new gauge any ideas of what to put in there??:humm:

Just ordered a 6637 and was doing some research on weather or not to get a x-wheel or not, I dont have any serge issues right now but I hear that they are more prone to with the additional air??

Was also looking at getting the HPX, any feedback on it would be greatly appreciated.:c:

Fuel pressure, Oil pressure, HPOP, Scan gauge..

I would vote for the Scan Gauge.
