A FEW MONTHS AGO I HAD BOUGHT MY 2004 FORD F-250 HARLEY DAVIDSON EDITION 6.0. WITH 56K ON THE CLOCK. IT HAD COME STOCK WITH ONLY A BANKS SIX-GUN, AND A BANKS AIR INTAKE.

I AM LOOKING TO SPEND A NICE CHUNK OF CHANGE. FIRST THINGS FIRST I AM GETTING RIDE OF BANKS WHAT IS THE BEST OPTIONS FOR A PROGRAMER. I LOVE THE FEELING OF BEING THROWN BACK IN YOUR SEAT.
SECOND WHAT OTHER ENGINE, TRANNY AND DRIVE TRAIN MODS SHOULD I DO.

LAST TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS A 6' LIFT WITH 35'S I AM LOOKING TO BE RUNNING 40'S HOW BIG OF A LIFT TO GET AND WHO MAKES IT.

SCT with custom tunes is the only way to go for a programmer. After that I'd put an exhaust on it. Next thing is gauges you need to monitor your stuff. I like to monitor boost,egt,tranny temp, and fuel pressure and my gauge of choice is an edge CTS because of all the diffrent things you can monitor. You have 2 problems to deal with on the 6.0, an egr which you can get a egr delete. Also the headgaskets are bad about blowing so when that happens get a set of head studs put in. Then when you want bigger power comes injectors, fuel system, turbo etc.... I can get you anything you need.

About all egr delete kits are close to the same I sell the performance machine kit on my site. Holderdownperformance.com Also the CTS is on there as well as the SCT. For the CTS you will need those options listed to monitor fuel pressure and egt. I also usually use a tapped billet fuel filter cap for the fuel pressure sending unit.

Now i have been wondering since this truck is not my daily driver. Used to trailer my sport bikes and for truck shows. How do i make it, blow black smoke out of my stacks. I dont want it to happen all the time. Is there a smoke switch? I know many older men think its disrespectful to blow black smoke and its killing the sport but nothing say diesel power like leaving someone in darkness.

Any suggestion on how to do this?
