Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

I just purchased new F350 6.0 Diesel, 4x4 with SRW. Going to pull Donzi 38ZR.

Anyone used any of the aftermarket chips like hypertech on their trucks. Are their performance gains really what they say?

If it means anything....

I deal with a distributor of parts and they deal in a huge volume of aftermarket stuff. I asked him about which one they preferred for the 6.0. he told me that far and awat the Edge/Juice was their largest volume seller. He added that he was surprised to find that as the Edge was also the most expensive. They carry all of them including Banks.

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

I have had the Edge, Bullydog and, Hypertech on the Dyno and the Bullydog has the most HP and torque. The Duramax has the most Horsepower but it is a little peaky. The Ford 6.0L has the broadest power-band, that is why I like it best for towing.

Besides best power the Bullydog has portability. You buy the bullydog kit it has all three programs in it so if you trade your GM in on a Ford you just unload the GM program then you can load the ford program onto a ford truck.

I have the BANKS programer and 4" exhaust on my 05 F-350. What a difference, this truck pulls anything! I want to get a shift kit for the tranny next. I got all my stuff from
"BR POWERSOURCE"

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

Don't put more than a 65hp program in it for towing, or the head gaskets will be in your glovebox...

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

Programmers vs chips...Don't programmers allow you to remove all evidence of having them vs chips which leave a trace of data on the trucks hard drive?

Also, I think some programmers address the tranny by upping the "line pressure" to keep internals protected. But I don't know which ones do this.

Advise me if I am all wrong on this

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

My tranny on the 6.0l has some slips already, and Yes, do not tow in any higher than the 65hp setting. The heads only have 6 bolts when it should have 8-10 like Chev & Dodge. You also may blow turbo hoses.

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

It's an 2005 6.0L, the head gaskets will blow chip or no chip!.
Change the head bolts!

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

To what, studs? Same trouble on 2006 models?

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

So if I'm reading this correctly, (forgive me I have the flu right now and I'm not quite with it :eek: ) you are saying that the new 2006 6.0 PS is blowing head gaskets without any mods?
I'm really interested in this data, because I'm getting ready to buy a new F-350 or an Dodge 3500 IF the Fords are having this problem! :( I have til the end of the year to buy, but I want to get it lined up now and order my truck, (Ford or Dodge) ASAP.
Thanks,
Dean

Wait till Feb 2006 Ford is releasing a New Engine.
6.4L Twin Turbo Diesel.
bye bye 6.0L!

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

Yes sir. It's night and day. Be very careful with just any programmer though. Alot of them will cost you your head gaskets. Alot of the guys in http://www.thedieselgarage.com have a proven combo for that setup which is SCT, exhaust and an intake filter. That alone will make that truck scream. I have personally dealt with and recommend http://www.dj-performance.com. This guy KNOWS his 6.0L's...

Enjoy...

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

The Cummins is a great motor but if I am not mistaken that truck still has a 4spd auto. Also, the interior of that truck looks like it was built by Fisher Price :D ...

I have yet to hear about stock 6.0Ls puking and or blowing the head gaskets. That little 6.0 is making 325 HP and 560lbs or torque. An SCT, Exhaust and intake will put you in the 400s, and 600+lbs of torque. You have the option to change programs from Towing, to Street to Race.

DJ Performance pulls a '36 Pace Trailer, fully loaded with his F-250 race truck in it, tool's, ect... with a 2005 F-350 6.0L Dually. 37k, not one problem yet.

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

My 04 6.0 was a problem child.. Ford owns that truck now :) :)

My 06 6.0 is night and day.. (F350 CC SRW) Runs great, idles perfectly, fair economy (nothing I ever drive gets good economy, not sure why :crazy: :confused: :crazy: ) and has pulled 18k with no issues. I regularly pull 8-9k behind it, and constantly have 3-4k behind it. The tow command is awesome (trailers with electric brakes) and the tow mode in the tranny is real handy on anything above 6.5k...

Re: Ford 6.0 Diesel Performance Chips
 

I have the Bullydog 3 stage in my 03. It has performed flawlessly!! I leave it in the highest setting. The trans has to re-learn shifting with each time you change power setting. I towed my 31 Sonic no problem.

A word of caution.....A performance chip is not license to drive like an a-hole!!! If you push too hard when towing something is bound to let loose!!! Your trans is like your outdrive......would you run full throttle off idle after installing a blower???? I don't think so!
