All 4 custom tow tunes are eons better than the SCT canned tow tune. The timing and ICP maps are crucial to keep the smoke down, and his icp ramps up much quicker than the canned one. Just a suggestion, I am not trying to tell anyone what to do.

Yep, thanks on the gearheads tunes, they have been recommended by several folks on the PowerStroke forum. I am still running a stock motor, no studs and just a few mods. I just put some money into making it do what I want when I want, just did not need to stud it at the time. When the time comes that I have to stud this 6.0 then I plan on getting into the bigger turbo, injectors, and better tunes. For now I drive it with SOME common sense, but I normally just use it to pull the 5th wheel and top speed for me is 65.

Nice Tom! I keep going back and forth between a bigger fuel tank and a new front bumper. Leaning towards the fuel tank...

Finally put a new set of towing mirrors on. These make such a huge difference in being able to see comfortably around the camper. Pricey investment, but WELL worth it!

Found what caused loss of turbo, a blown hose. Put it back on but will replace them with new ones do it doesn't happen a hundred miles from nowhere.

And I hung that same model Ranch Hand a few years back.

Here’s a tip in case you didn’t know. Use some hairspray on the pipe to help secure the boot and prevent it from blowing off again. Just make sure the pipe is de-greased beforehand.

LOL Jack! That would come in handy here in Houston traffic. Actually, I got it because of the deer population that has gotten out of control around where I live. Too many close calls.
