4. DO NOT remove the intercooler. Someone else has already said it. The intercooler drops the temperature of the intake air. the cooler the air the more dense it is. The denser the air the more efficient the combustion is. Having an intercooler doesn't necessarily mean more power, but it does help!

I think that is it. If you have any questions check us out on the web at powerstrokedotorg

Once you get the diesel bug it is hard to get rid of!

Wow, thanks for all the tips man! Hats off to you! I'll check out your website! Thanks again!

Intercooler=more horsepower, No Intercooler=Less horspower also higher EGTs if you are going to run water injection you could remove the intercooler. if you wanted more horsepower with less loss of boost pressure look in to aftermarket intercoolers

[DanielJaegerFilms]

Thanks for the advice, I've heard about the intercooler, but just never done much work with it yet.

[GRAFFREVIEWS]

in my opinion, i wouldnt cut away without having a mechanics opinion, cuz that could end bad..

[DanielJaegerFilms]

yeah, when I heard I had to get into the transmission, it scared me a bit.

[Mcroostr]

My truck doesn't have an intercooler, at 100 degrees ambient temp and 18 psi my charge temp is 170 degrees, I'm way over fueled and never break 1100 egt degrees. Get a life linebacker and finish grade school while you're at it. Bullydog products are fine I live in Bullydog Country Idaho and I wont run smoky edge or expensive banks stuff. Seriously 51linebacker, go kill yourself.

[FutureTruckerDennis]

cuz its true!!!

[sillybandhaha]

have yo had any transmisson problems since you got the tripple dog

and where did you get your pipe for your straight pipe?

iv looked every where and cant find just a regular peice of 4in pipe

[dajaimekid]

you can put it on but its not really going to do anything because the triple dog is already changing the ratio on the gears on the transmission so its a waste of money to install it. personally i would sell it because like i said its not really going to do anything

[chevyblows2001]

why did the transmission need replaced at 100K?

[fire100503]

yes

The cut out on the front of the truck is called a ZooDad mod. Best mod you can do for the "bang for the buck deal." Water will not get up in there. I'm assuming you don't drive through lakes everyday so you should have nothing to worry about.

Leave the intercooler it helps cool the heat charge boost air before entering the engine, also Id have the shift kit installed itll help more the the downloader if it does anything at all. And last Id take the plastic peice out to help get more airflow in, you wont have a water problem at all and even if a small amount gets in it will hurt nothing. Water injection is used on these motors in high performance applications anyhow so no worries there.

[guitarfreak990]

ok listen, first of all that was not the intercooler. that was a pipe leading to it. however it is a way to cool the air going into your motor, dont remove it. second, removing that little peice probably wont make a difference but removing it poses no danger. as per the shift kit i have no knowledge hope this helps

[avancamp1]

The part I was talking about taking out is that plastic behind the grill.

[avancamp1]

Also leave your intercooler on! It keeps your EGTs down and gives more performance.

[avancamp1]

The chip does change shift points, but the shift enhancer is better for shifting. Also the oil you are probably talking about in the intake is your Crank case oil. You can do a CCV mod and get rid of it. Also that part your talking about taking out is a good idea its called a Zoodad Mod. You dont have to worry about doing it.
