i just bought a 95 f350 crew cab long bed to pull my 35ft mistress. i was wondering whats the best way to improve the performance of the power stroke eng? thx for nay info, ratman

LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE!!! the E40D trans behind that is not a very good partner to that powerstroke when the engine is stock,let alone with upgrades. I have a 95 F-350 and am on trans #5 with 276,000 wich is as about as good of a record as I have I have ever heard with that trans. I just got a new F-550 and the jury is still out on the torqueshift 5spd auto.

You can do a 50 HP chip but no bigger unless you do exhaust.
It helps alot with towing.
Like hillbilly said plan on breaking the tranny. They make alot of upgrades for this issue, so find a good tranny guy.

Does Ford still use the E4od on new models? If not when did they change and is the new one OK?

Phil,
Look up Bully Dog Technologies. They got there stuff together when it comes to these diesels. They have upgrades for engines,tranny, and exhaust to maximize power and not hurt parts.

Chris
