Do you own or are you considering the
purchase of a 6.0
Powerstroke?
If so Custom Diesel is the place to buy all the performance parts you
need. As most people know the 6.0 Powerstroke has been plagued by
problems from the factory however with a few modifications one can
have quite possibly the most reliable truck on the road. These
engines have been known for problems with their head gaskets because
of overheating mainly because of the
EGR
system. Like most diesel owners we all want a little more power than
we receive from the stock computer tunes this is where
Custom
Diesel can help for your 6.0 diesel solutions.
The first thing we recommend is the
purchase of our Custom Diesel
EGR
delete. This delete package is one of the most critical parts to
giving your 6.0 Powerstroke that lasting performance we all want from
our diesel engines. The
EGR
system cools exhaust gases as it sends them back into the engine to
reduce emissions. When the exhaust is sent back into the intake it
gets clogged up with soot and other harmful diesel particulates. By
installing this delete kit you will do many things to help your
engine. Engine coolant will be cooler preventing the possibility of
blowing a head gasket resulting in costly repairs. You will receive
better fuel economy. Some customers have experienced gains of almost
5 mpg. The up pipe we manufacture can also increase turbo spool up
resulting in quicker boost.
Next on the list would be the install
of
ARP
head studs. If you want to have the added power from a tuner head
studs are a must. With the added power from a tuner the factory head
bolts can become stretched and result in a blown head gasket with
high performance tunes. Head studs can handle large amounts of power
that can be made with the 6.0 engine. If you are going to do a head
stud install it is best to lift the cab so you will have more room to
work with. We also offer
head
gaskets in some of our solution kits.
Now that we have the cooling and head
gasket issue solved it is time to add the high performance parts. In
order to get the most from a tuner your truck must breathe well and
that means the addition of an exhaust and intake. At
Custom
Diesel you can order single or dual performance
exhausts.
It’s just personal preference from there. Factory air intake boxes
are good for almost 500 horses in some cases but if you seek more
horsepower than that I’d recommend an
aftermarket
intake. We offer several different tuner options like the SCT SF3
programmer. It has three preloaded tunes with power levels capable
of up to 150 additional horsepower and even economy tunes of 75
horsepower. This tuner has the ability to upload custom tunes from
the internet also.
Other performance options would be the
addition of an aftermarket turbo as opposed to the stock turbo. One
we offer is the
Industrial
Injection Garret Power Max Stage One. This Turbo will help
increase spool up by maximize power output but keeping turbo speeds
down for the same output. This turbo can support up to an additional
175 horsepower over stock and would be a good replacement for a stock
one also. All of these products are available on our
website
and are ready for purchase at anytime. This setup has been proven
over time to be reliable and make nice amounts of power also.
