[rpbfixit]

well I changed it to the hottest setting so I'll try that for a couple tanks. took it out yesterday and ran it at 100 mph for 15 min. and 85 for another 25 min. we'll see.

I bought my truck three nights ago and I already had my truck go into clean out mode! damnit! The question I cant seem to find a straight answer to is if I buy a tuner and exhaust am I going to be able to pass emissions still and will my reliability stay the same or get better?

 

[Dogman]

If you have emissions testing in your state your not going to pass it.

 

[DaveBen]

Dogman is correct, and your warranty will be void if you add exhaust and a tuner. With the cost of these trucks I would not do anything that would void you warranty. Ford and the other automakers are very strict on keeping them stock.

Would I benefit from a tuner that allows me to bypass the egr? And possibly add a small tune o the truck?

 

[DaveBen]

YES you would benefit with all of what you are talking about. This is YOUR call and YOUR truck. I don't know if Wisconsin tests or not and I don't know if your truck in under any warranty, but YOU do. YOUR choice.

I'd talk around with some PSD owners in Your Local Area. See what they are doing.. and/or.. have done.. that won't violate Wisconsons Smog checks.. to a point where it might work for you.. and go from there ?

Post up some of the [specific] mods here for some input, if you like ?

(Look for BIG exhaust pipes & stacks )

Thanks for the advice

Our friend has a 6.4 and he put a tuner on it and he said it really woke the truck up and gets better mpg. I dont know if he put exhaust on it yet.
