My Ecoboost was a nice truck. Lariat trim inside but after driving my diesel with 900+ ft. lb. of torque for several years, it just didn't do it for me lol. I always wanted to see a Tremor lowered and made fast but the ones around here are still sitting at the stealerships.

Probably to do with price too. My truck was originally almost 49k. After rebates etc I walked out at 37k. Fully loaded sunroof, heated and cooled seats, memory pedals, sync with big touch screen, nav, power back sliding window, etc and its a Super crew.

buddy bought a new platinum for 41k.

Tremors here they don't want to give any rebates and they asking 34-38k.

**** most of the Tremors I found were at 40-42k. Got mine for 34k out the door.

He's a broke college kid who saves every little bit he can to mod his truck. He's saving for a shift kit at the moment. Tell me about these correct mods if you don't mind. I wanna see the truck run good as much as he does.

You must not know duramaxs, it can get ugly pretty fast in 4wd whether pulling or launching with the stock tierods.

Ive driven a LBZ with 600whp on stock tie rods. Its nothing unmanageable. Then again Ive built several VW's and got used to torque steer.

Is the truck a LBZ Classic or a LMM? IIRC, the LMM trucks have stronger tie rods. I know for a fact the LML's do.

With that tune he DRASTICALLY needs a lift pump.

nice sig btw

idaho rob seems to have a good rep behind him and is well spoke of on the diesel boards. I tend to stick with Fleece (and Danville is really good too). many more out there as well.

I honestly don't know Kory Willis' name

Kory is a tuner out of Louisiana. I think the name is PPEI? His tunes are very good as my friend has them on his truck and theyre great. They make more power than Rob's tunes, but Rob's tunes are on the conservative side when it comes to fueling. He does that to save transmissions and its alot harder to melt the engine due to excessive EGT's while towing.

In all honesty, Kory, Rob, Danville, Fleece. It doesnt matter who you go with as they are all excellent tuners.
