what is a good way to improve power on a 02 7.3 power stroke? I use the truck for hauling and towing. I also take it out mudding a little. Any tips wouldbe great. I do not want to make more then 300hp

 

Gauges first. At least a pyro and tranny temp.

After that a 4" turbo back exhaust, and a TS based chip with tunes from what ever tuner you pick.

 

^ agreed that and cold air intake small things help bigger tires are always a good thing i have 33" bfgs on my truck i love them great in the mud good price for them and you might want to go to fluid shocks i have rough country fluid shocks much smoother ride in my opinion

then after gauges and ts chip go then injectors and turbo upgrades but thats down the road

 

Thanks guys . My truck is on 35s and have thaught about adding power to it. I am only 16
and my parents don't want some horsepower monster as my daily driver. They want me to have a little more power for towing and better economy. What programers do you suggest?

 

Gauges first...

Isspro EV2... Pyro, Boost and Trans Temp

4" turbo back exhaust...

TS based chip. Power Hungry Performance, Gearhead Performance, Diesel Innovations...

 

^^ Yup

^^^ agreed no sense dumping money into a truck to have it blow up.

If your really on a budget a walker or other 3.5" straight through muffler will help...not as good as a TBE but cheaper.

 

agreed. good to have the younger generation of people getting involved keeps the diesel community alive.

i got my 7.3 when i was 15 im 20 now but still glad to see that more people are getting into diesels

 

i agree, i would get a set of guages first before i added performance, especially if its your daily driver!

i got my f250 when i was 16 and i got into diesels pretty quick. im just too poor to do much to it!

good luck on the choices you make and be careful! lots of roads to take
