Ez

[elyost3]

I'm new at this,(no kidding) What's an EZ?

 

[Big White Beast]

One of many.........

Fueling/Timing boxes that is. Do a search and you'll find more info than you could ever use.

Does that mean the same thing as the CHIP?

EZ is a fueling box, adds around 50 to 60 extra HP to your rig. Plugs in in a couple of minutes, easy on easy off in case you have to take it in for warranty. Its a real nice and fairly cheap way to get some ZIP in a stock truck.

Do you have to mod. your stock transmission to install and use it?

 

[chuck3]

Mod your transmission? No a lot of people don't, me for one untill about a month ago I was running a stock transmission. But you need to be carefull if you tow, you can ruin a stock transmission with just a EZ. I would recommend trany mods if you go above just the box tho.

transmission mod

What kind of mod. to the transmission if I go with exhaust/ez/bhaf/and I haul a 30ft. 5th wheel?

 

[chuck3]

I went with a valve body and 89% T. C. modified by DTT. Check out this site. www.dieseltrans.com or call them they go out of their way to help you.

I suggest you get your trannie fixed first. This will cost some where between 2 - 3 thousand. This alone will make towing much more enjoyable and improve performance about as much as an EZ.



The problem is the OEM torque converter has a lot of slippage ( referred to as a slushbox) and the lockup clutch ( this is what locks when you are cruising) will not hold a lot of additional power. When this clutch starts to slip you rpms will go up and your speed will go down and then you will have to get it fixed.

A new TC will will have less slippage and enable you to "get the power to the ground", this lets you better utilize the power that you have. A new valve body will increase the holding power of the lockup clutches. There are other improvements that increase longevity and allow for future installation of an exhaust brake.



If you increase your power first ( as I did ) you will probably have to get the trannie fixed eventually and have to put up with the slushbox until then. I had an excuse, I didn't know any better because I hadn't heard about TDR and all the good advice available here. I hope you heed this advice and save yourself a lot of trouble.



I don't want to start another war but you can see in my signature that I have DTT upgrades and I feel they are the best. Do your homework and good luck.
