Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Do I Want A 24v???

[TDiston]

All You Guys That Have A 24v I Need A Little Convincing On The Power Of The 24v. I Have A 1996 12v Right Now Before I Stuck The 35 Hybrid Turbo On It It Dynoed At 356 Hp And 856 Fpt. Now My Wife Pulls With It As Much Or More Than I Do. So Thats Why I Have The Question To Swith To A 24v So I Can Stick A Hx40 On It And Put A Box Or Two But If Road Conditions Get Bad I Can Turn-off The Box For Her. So Tell Me Something Good!! But I Also Would Like To Know I Have Heard Of You Guys Stacking Boxes Perhaps A Tst And An Edge Box. I Mght Be Smoking Things But Let Me Know Set Me Correct Path And Tell Me Why You Would Stack Boxes Or If You Guys Even Do. Thanks For Your Time.

Can your wife change out the Lift pump when it quits on her and she's sitting on the side of the road? If so get the 24V.

The only reason to stack boxes is if you have a fueling box and a timeing box. Most boxes now days do both so there is no need to stack. If reduced power for bad conditions is all you are looking for just add a valet switch to the 12v.

On The Pump I Have Heard They Will Go Out But I Have Also Heard If It Does Alot Of Times It Is Not Due To A Box Or Modification They Will Just Go Out. Valet Switch?? Educate Me... Also How Often Have The Pumps Gone Out? Or Do We Hear Of A Few Dozen Bad Eggs

Buy a 24V, put a Fass or comparable system on it, with a set of gauges and a box, and you'll be very happy. There's no reason to dog 24V's you 12V guys are just jealous our heads flow more!!!!!! :-laf J/K

24V engines are plenty reliable when the fuel pressure is monitored and fuel delivery is addressed.

Amen, Hohn!!!

My 24V is still on the original lift pump and has never been back to the dealer for any warranty issue. I'm certainly not dogging the 12V trucks - they're great as well, but my 24V has been bulletproof, and 90% of its life is spent towing our heavy 5ver.
