Diesel Guys, what programmer are you running?

Bullydog Triple Power Pup w/Outlook Monitor and Dual EGT probes in my Cummins.

I run an SCT from Innovative Diesel. It runs strong, but eats head gaskets. I had the shop put arp studs in the first time, but I doubt they torqued them correctly and I dont think they decked the heads as they are starting to leak again. Oh, well, they can replace them again (under warranty)

I always remove the tuner and run stock for a couple weeks before bringing it to the shop, as the extra fuel leaves a nice flower wash on the domes of the pistons.

If I had to do it over, I would build my motor up a little first, then start playing. Put the studs in first, and you shouldnt have to worry too much if staying within reasonable power levels.

But I love the tunes from Eric at innovative!!!

i had a 2005 6.0L and ran the bully dog power pup. from what i have herd and experience you should put a stud kit on the head. i blew my head gasket after 30,000km.

i now have a 08 dmax with the bully dog PMT and the PPE hot 2+. with 5" exhaust. its kinda fun.

I think most 6.0L owners I've known have to put a stud kit in these. 50K I think is the most mileage they've gotten before blowing the head gaskets.

Had a TST Powermax Comp on my Cummins, holy chit did that thing run

The SCT livewire is the only way to go for the 6.0, tunes by anyone work well but head stud are a must for these motors. Along with egr deletes or block offs and coolant bypasses these motors are more reliable. my 2 cents
