I have an 04 excursion that is the family tow wagon / wifes hot rod. Here is a list of what has been done to the vehicle.
Head studs
egr delete
fuel pressure spring thing
new oil cooler
mbrp 4 inch full exhaust
BD oil breather filter kit
sct with tunes from innovative
edge insight moniter
amsoil bypass oil filter
These have been on the truck for the last few years. I just replaced the stock turbo that had leaking seals with a stage 1 garrett powermax.
so here are my questions
1. While i have been reasonably satisfied with my tuning what are my other options besides innovative? I would like to bump up the power a bit for my tow tune. Does the new turbo change what the tuner will program into the tune or is extreme race the same all the time regardless of turbo?
2. Can a tune be written specifically for tow haul mode? I would like for tow haul mode to never shift into top gear thereby giiving me an overdrive lockout.
3. Is it possible that my tow tune with the turbo brake contributed to leaky turbo seals in any way?
4. how much power do people tow with? what is max sustainable egt on these guys. In my search i saw opinions ranging from 1200-1400* anbody here have experiance in melting one down in these temp ranges?
5. the only thing I have on my fuel system is that upgraded spring. with stock injectors will this be enough for any tune?
I did a search here and looked over psn and still had these questions after looking. I know this site isn't a huge powerstroke site but since this is the one I frequent I though I would start here.
