I am new to diesel vehicles - I recently bought a 2003 Ford Excursion 7.3 Power Stroke. It has 8 inch skyjacker lift w/ 38" Toyo's - a 5" exhaust and I just put a Juice w/ attitude in it (which I found out today was a mistake).

I presently have the vehicle in the shop putting on a three stage torque converter and doing so work on the transmission. I am looking at the DieselSite - high pressure oil pump and would like to know what other 7.3 owners recommend to get the best performance and gas mileage form the truck. I now know the Juice has to go - or be set to stock for the gauges but what else should I do to this thing. Any recommendations or experiences would be appreciated.

Welcome!

I would start by adding a set of gauges (pyro, boost, trans temp), then get a custom tuned chip. Next on the list would be a better flowing intake.

The Adrenalin from diesel site would be the icing on the cake, especially if your HPOP is getting weak.

Good Luck

Take that 8 inch lift off and them big tires that will help with fuel milage.
