Well my 01 F350 was totaled last month so I have so money for toys. So I just started ordering parts for my 07 and need a little advice. I just got done installing AFE stg II and CFM+, a KORE lift and Spearco are on the way. I will be ordering gauges in the next couple of days. But i have a couple questions.
1. Who has the PPE and have you noticed any Tranny problems.
2. I also want to upgrade my turbo (Single, no twins) so what are your thoughts on II or HTT. IF a different turbo please tell me.
3. Contemplating DDP 90hp injectors, does anybody have them, do you like or would you have gone elsewhere.
4. FASS or Glacier Diesel Fuel Boss kit
5. Is there a quadpod a-pillar gauge as I would like to add Fuel pressure gauge as well.

Sorry I have so many questions, I am new to cummins performance parts, as i have owned fords my whole life.

 

Better save some of that dough for your tranny all that other stuff wont do you any good with out a transmission to take the beatings

 

WHAT HE SAID

 

Are you puking cause the Ford was totaled or because you did not like the truck??? I LOVED my 7.3 PSD

Questions:
1)No experience with the PPE
2)II
3)Heard nothing but good about DDP, and a customer of mine has a set. Love's them.
4)Glacier, hands down
5)Not sure

Welcome to the "other side" (Cummins) I will tell you this, you will not go back. As muh as I loved my 7.3 (and the truck in general) I would never go back. This Cummins is jsut unbelievable. It is more work like than the Ford, but it i EXACTLY what I need. As long as you don't mind the more work truck attitude, you will love your truck. I am surprised the Cummins is not #1 selling diesel truck out there. I really shake my head at that. I guess Dodge got such a bad rep for so long, hard to make people think otherwise. I will tell youwhat changed my mind. A '90 CTD a friend of mine has. He owns a landscaping business, and he owns a 2000 PSD and the 90 CTD. They are both hooked behind a trailer 7 days a week. The CTD odometer quit working at 260K miles about 6-7 years ago. So, is probaly @ 400K (took about 9years to get 260K = @ 29K a year) so, 29K a year tmes 7=203K So, it is probaly closer to 460K, but will say 400K. This truck runs 7 days a week, pulling. Keep in mind this truck is not driven by him, but his employee's, so you know they are probaly not easy on it and aside from a front end every 2-3 years, and 1 starter, that's it. Regular maintenance of course (brakes, tires, etc...) but we are talking about original motor, tranny, rear end, water pump, EVERYTHING. And no the AC does not work. Anyways, that truck is the reason I decided to go Cummins, and I could not be happier

 

puking cause the truck is totaled, was one of the best trucks i ever had. Had nearly 15,000 grand in to the motor itself. And couldn't get any of it off to part out. I wanted both trucks i loved the ford truck but i really wanted the cummins motor. My ford was almost race ready so i needed another truck for daily driver. I see many trucks both ford and dodge going half a million to a million plus miles and are still ticking. My dad's friend has an old 6.9 with 1.2million on it and the motor has never been rebuilt.

 

I used to live in Arlington, worked at Don Davis Toyota (see that you are in Grand Prairie)

You could have bought the truck back from insurance. I know it is a pain, and they say you can't do it (sometimes they say that) but you can. Now, if they re-imbursed you for what you had on the truck,then I would not sweat it. BUT, if they did not, hen you could have demanded that you go out to the truck and take what they were not going to re-imburse you for. Once again,I know it is a PITA, but for $15 big ones, I would have made ita PITA for them as well
