Sorry for the oxymoronic paradigm, guys!



One of our customers lent me an '08 6.7L with less than 5K on it to play with and make run as hard as a 5.9

I'm going to de-initialize it, so no more EGR, NOX, CAT, DPF... also going to lose the muffler and try to manually control the VNT. Probably going to install a Helix/Flux combo before it's over, since the fueling SWs for the ECM aren't working so well.

Be careful out there. See you on the next go-round.

Why not just replace with an 06 ECM/PCM combo.
You know about Don's 3rd Gen Billet Cam?

Well, I'd have to buy one, then deal with all the other smaller issues it'd cause... the 6.7L ECM is very different.

Aren't Don's billet cams ideal for driving P-pumps?

Mike!

Pretty good afternoon. I got the fluids done, RJ eliminated one variable with his little problem, Matt spent two hours putting air in his tires (don't even ask) and Mike showed up with a little sweetheart of a girl named Stephanie. Atta boy Mike!

The weather cooperated pretty well, but got a little cool and windy late this afternoon. Hopefully, by sometime in March, maybe it will be warm enough to have a biggie.
