i been thinking about pullin my 97 7.3l but not entirely sure if it'd be a smart idea.
as of now i have a bully dog chip(wish to get a wildman chip in summer), air filter, stage 2 injectors, 4 in exhaust to 6 in stack, traction bars, thats about it.
would it be a "safe" idea to pull with these mods or does any one have any tips for better ones.
also its 5 speed so what else do i need to know so i dont burn up my clutch.
thanks

 

Not real sure about ford specific advice, but as for your clutch, LET IT UP. You will have to ride it for just a bit to get started, but just a few feet, it dosn't matter if you have a fancy weighted pulling clutch, if you try to ride it for 100+ feet, you'll smoke it! Good luck with your attempt, it's quite fun

 

The biggest problem with the powerstrokes is ... they all seem to bounce, if you plan on pulling your truck have a way to get it home if it breaks. If it starts hopping let off the throttle and just stop, normally after it starts hopping your driveshaft(s) break.

 

any other tips concernin mods, beside a better chip?

 

non stock clutch like a dual disk would be a good start
