Hey guys i guess i will be switching over to your 3rd gen forum from the 2nd gen forum now since I just bought the truck in my sig. I learned alot about the 01 I had from this website. Im hoping to learn just as much if not more about my 07 that I have now.

I know there are a few things you need to do first on the 24 valves like check fuel pressure and and install a FASS and guages to prevent any damage from bombing the crap out of it. Is there anything that I should do first on my 3rd gen before I go to adding performance parts? I know about gauges but is there anything else? Im not real knowledgeable about the 3rd gens just yet, but I plan to be. I plan to do some fairly major mods to this truck like twins, cam, injectors, studs, o-rings, stacked programmers, clutch, exhaust, intake, FASS and whatever else I decide. I already have 5-inch on the way as of this morning.

Also any tips you guys have for me like things I should do to my truck just let me know.

I forgot to ask, at what mileage should I wait to put a programmer on it? It's got 1000 miles on it right now.

You're already 999 miles late. Someone else that knows more please chime in, but I'm not sure it matters that much since the engine doesn't really break in until 20-30k miles.

Intake and exhaust
gauges
tranny
fueling box/programmer
lift pump
turbo
studs - depending on turbo choice
additional fueling (pressure, programmer, module - whatever compliments your first choice)
modded cp3
injectors anytime after the lift pump
cam and springs

I Would Not Run a Programmer ! As i Stated in One of my posts here,i Lost My Warranty On My 2006 , Still Fighting It But Dont Look Good . Cought Me on Key Cyc, Before the new update ! I Just Do Not Think It Worth It ? But That Up To You.....JUST THINK LONG AND HARD !

Pretty much anything on that list can cause warranty problems - most of it WILL.

bthanks

If he runs a smarty it wont mess with the key cyc. It leaves no footprint. And I think if he is going twins, fass, stacked programmers, cam, and what not I dont believe he is to worried about the warrenty anyways.

You will ABSOLUTELY have the most fun voiding your warranty and trashing your tranny/clutch w/ a Smarty!







Just kidding, I don't think anyone has PROVEN them detectable yet, you'll have some yaahoos talkin' trash, saying that they are though.
