ridgefire:
I have the Hydra in mine and it really makes a big difference in power and super easy to use.
Encore 280:
Are you using the K&N oil soaked air filter? I had one on my '09 and the shop told me not a good idea to have on a turbo diesel. Turbos suck a lot of air and the oil gets sucked into the internals, bad idea. Had them pull it out and put in some wiz bang filter system, can't remember the name.
MR5x5:
The 99 Powerstroke is the strong one - forged rods. You should take a look at DP Tuner they will have a variety of selectable tunes for the various towing loads you are hauling.
Cylvertip:
Got an SCT X4 at Randy's Offroad yesterday. Woke the truck back up on the "middle setting". Snappier than what I was getting out of the 22 year old chip for sure.
However, on the drive home while um.."breaking it in" .....discovered that issue that it had went to the dealer for, that started this path, did not get resolved. Grrr :bash: I will be on the horn with them today to get that straightened out.
Issue is when you step on it and stay in it, power gets cut at around 3000 RPM. Lasts for a few seconds after you let off of it. Acts like computer traction control on a newer rig, which the old girl does not have. Dealer told me it was exhaust back pressure sensor and guarenteed that change out took care of the problem.
And yep, oiled K&N. I know I have always ran a paper towel around in the down stream side of the intake and never get any residue of any kind. I suppose.that over 20 years of use it could build up though. I will do some research. Thanks
