Really? the Propane did the engine in? My fathers friend has a 7.3 with about 475 hp at the rear wheels. It runs awesome!

Really? did he have alot of problems? was the Bully Dog kit easy to install, and how were the results? just curious, we got the Banks Big Hoss kit, and did some mods to the kit.

P.S. I dont know peoples experiances with banks, and quite frankly, dont wanna hear their wining about their service and so on! So please, refrain from flaming brands

Thank you

The kit was easy to install he said itd take a couple of hrs to change all the fittings and install it on my truck so i dont think it took long to install orignally. And i dont think he had problems with the proane directly but after he put it on things started goin south on his truck. so he took everything off minus the exhaust and traded for a 03 60 now hes drivin a 05 60 go figure.

ohh boy, another 6.0 guy....too bad. Yea, sometimes it is possible to overbuild a truck and have it come apart sadly....I know tis is difficult with our trucks...but it sorta sucks that there will never really be a super high horse diesel V-8. But, thats what cummins are for!!!

Wow, its only taken 3 yrs of owning a CTD to get a smoke story but I finally got someone tonight......

Was on my way home on the freeway, in the right lane (4 lanes) and theres a mustang behind me w/ his high-beams on. I was doin about 70 but lugged it down some then romped on it, did it a few times till he tried to pass me.........obviously was a v6 cuz i took him to 100 when the governor kicked in. guess i need to get a bullydog DL'er now
