I imagine you have guages so you see how much boost you build coming down a steep grade with the exhaust brake on , it can climb quite high. these trucks really come alive when you get rid of that CRAP! I have an 07 with a 6.7 and love it .good luck. I removed this stuff when the truck had 4000 miles on it and never looked back , gained 4 mpg + right from the removal time .

Plan on ordering one as soon as I have time to install! |
Not looking to derail this thread to debate SRW vs DRW. Both have pros and cons.
I do want to share my facts and personal experience. Hopefully everyone enjoys! Here are some pics of my rigs! |
1 Year OLD already and 103,000 miles!! Actually thats in only 9 months since we take 3 months off to enjoy Michigan's summer, and drive other toys. Truck has Towed about 20,000lbs of trailer weight 99.9999% of those miles! Up and down every mountain pass in every state! Amazing how good it holds up.
Changed oil, trans fluid, rear diff, belt (just to carry and spare, might as well put new one on and carry old one). Had to warranty rear driveshaft U-Joint. Which they did not have to warranty since the HP/TQ is turned up, the airbag suspension raises the rear end when loaded light, empty, etc, making the angle steeper adding more stress, etc. So at 87,000 miles wearing out a U-Joint did not bother me! Especially for free! |
