My last diesel (a 96 Dodge Ram 3500, 2wd, DRW, 12v Cummins) blew a head gasket with nothing more than a BHAF, Straigh Piped Exhaust and a #10 plate that was detuned.
I now have my 6.0, and have WAY too much money into the purchase price of this truck and can't afford doin head studs for a LONG time, but I REALLY want and SCT...... my question is.... you guys that run these..... am I gonna have to worry about my head gaskets goin if I run an SCT with a street, extreme, or even a looney tune?? I ask this b/c I've read that most get the best fuel mileage on the hottest tune. I don't really don't "play" that much, but you know youv'e got no choice when some kid in a honda civic pulls up next to you and acts like he's a harda**..... lol. Any help would be appreciated b4 I spend the money.
