https://dmaxstore.com/products/?rout...roduct_id=2361 Will this retain EGR cooler and EGR valve? Legally I am required to ask.
https://dmaxstore.com/products/?rout...product_id=247 I was looking at this one because that is what everyone says they run although I see a few other ones.
https://puredieselpower.com/chevy-gm...st-system.html This is just to be an annoying ******* but also cause I like it. Obviously I can't do it because I need catalytic converters. I will find a road legal one

The Down pipe seems to be the one Upgrade that doesn't really do much despite what they say... alot of guys say they didn't see or notice a difference with it.
The intake doesn't mention anything about EGR Function... You would have to check with your local state and federal law enforcement agencies to see if its legal for you to install...

i've been really happy with my Pusher compound kit - fit, finish, service, & install manual were great.
unfortunately, it sorta masks the fact that i ended up with the almost-certain intermittent stock VGT actuator failures this summer, though. gonna eventually replace it with a City Diesel upgraded actuator, but for now, whether it freaks out & freezes at 50% or sticks wide open, the atmosphere eventually spools right through it and makes power anyway... so i'll get around it it.
dude, my LLY test-drove mostly okay but barely made the trip home after turning out to literally be dumping fuel through rusted lines for the entire 13hr drive & having failing injectors (in addition to a failing clutch).
it got far enough to limp from the house to a local diesel shop for inspection & back... and there it sat for 8 months while i had to end up suing the dealer to refund me & haul it off.
hmm... my mom's 01 has almost 400k on her stock turbo.

Also just so everyone can sit and laugh at me because I just know this game. Guess who has to replace a turbo? This guy! Guess who has to replace an ECM? This guy! ECM maybe not though turbo most likely.
Means I can go ahead and lose the weight I have been meaning to.
You know I think the Lord enjoys playing cruel jokes on me. *sigh* depression sets in, back where I started. Fortunately at least I can drive with the way the truck is, it just is a little low on power but nothing drastic. I've had a lot of good things going on in my life and I am really really trying to not let this get me down. Just been so busy recently that I barely have time to do anything. I go back to school in the spring and work full time so that is going to suck wiener. Don't mean to kill the thread but just wanted to let people know kind of what is going on. Life has been absolutely bonkers recently. In a month(?) or so I have something huge happening for me. You'll see
P2610, P2510, P2563 btw. So compounds????
Also edit before anyone suggests it. No I do not believe the dealership knew about these codes. The P2510 and P2610 I figured had something to do with the battery dying while sitting. I think that it is completely coincidental that the P2563 code has popped now. This truck basically sat for 2 years without getting driven at all. It took me 400 miles before anything popped up for it. I would be willing to gamble that it is completely coincidental. Especially now since it pops every other time I start the truck.

The 7.3L were great but they seem to **** the turbo's around 150k or so... The best thing you can do is just replace them right away... LOL
My buddy recently bought one and after reading about that he put a new KC turbo on it so he doesn't have to worry about it. Runs better then ever now.
