Hey guys just to add my two cents about the after market add ons.....I went the full Banks package on my previous Power Stroke 7.3L. I added everthing that was offer and achieved a great deal more power and torque. I also added about $6 grand to the overall cost of my vehicle. I did not achieve any longevity and gained a lot of added noise and chinks that no one could find. My kit was installed by a Power Stoke specialist who worked to find and solve my concerns. I gained a lot of power, increased the stopping, and made the tranny work like something totally different, but as you can see, I ended up buying an 05 Ford to be really happy. I can say they did give me about $5 grand over book value because of all the add ons, but I was glad to let her go. I was afraid that the tranny and or rear end was about to blow out for good. It is about as easy to buy a newer truck with the technology already applied.
