A simple test is to put the engine under a good load at operating temperature, then shut it down and let the engine cool off for 8 hours or more. If there are no external leaks, the cooling system can hold excessive pressure for months after the engine has been shut off. However, these will often have coolant puddles on the ground when the truck is parked overnight, making it easy to see that there is an issue.Īnother good indicator of failed head gaskets is a “stiff” upper rad hose. The 2006-2010 riveted gaskets are the only ones that don’t follow this pattern, because they do leak externally when they fail and rarely cause this over-pressurization. Many people think that they need to put in more coolant only when they are towing – because they are working the engine harder, putting more pressure into the cooling system, and the leaks occur while the truck is driving (and they don’t see the leak).

When the gasket fails, the general problem is that cylinder pressure leaks into the cooling passage, over-pressurizing the cooling system and in turn pushing coolant out of the reservoir when it comes under heavy load. These trucks will start and idle without any smoke, and there can be no visual coolant loss, but the driver will have to constantly put more coolant into the system.

We will do our best to work with you to make the truck lope but some trucks with tired injectors mainly simply will not lope. Please keep this in mind when ordering as there are no refunds on tuning. We have noticed that if your truck has a ficm tune then it doesn't work well, plugged spill ports or simply tired injectors that are older the tune will not lope. Anything after 72 hours there will be a surcharge pro-rated for time from original tune starting at $25.ĭISCLAIMER - This tune will work great on the majority of trucks. If you feel a revision is needed then please let us know within that time frame and we will make recommendations based on the info you give or we will modify the tune and send again. REVISIONS - You have 72 hours to test the tunes. If there were a situation where we could not meet this expectation we would email you and let you know the expected date.

Tunes are generally written with 24hours of receiving the order. Just let us know if you would like either option.

This tune has seen up to 190hp gains which is rare but it can happen with a very healthy running truck. We work with the trans to hold shift points slightly longer and really bring on the power in the 6.0 Powerstroke power band. We only recommend this on our Xtreme tune which is labeled below but added in the lope for fun at idle. This tune will lope at idle but should drive perfectly normal on the day to day operations. You are welcome to daily it but you must understand that this is at your own risk. Its designed for the fun factor not the daily driver factor. Several years of testing have proven this tune is fun to use and you can daily drive but under no circumstance was this built to be daily driven. You've asked for it so we've developed it.
