rhasler Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 It doesn't look like there have been many changes made to that truck since it was built as far as ECU programming is concerned. Should be able to upgrade the VECU to step 12B for a little better throttle response. The 2006 engines are still prone to the same problems as earlier years, turbo housings cracking, exhaust leaks, but these items seem to fail with less frequency than before.

theakerstwo Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yes i agree. There is some dealer techs here that know and have a way of finding info that the rest of us cant find.We are and all are lucky to have guys that work at a dealer on here because thats the only way the infomation on new products and systems get out of a text book and out and into the feild.
