Don't post or reply too often but have gained some valuable info here. I am interested in a few PDI parts for my Cat 550. The guy I spoke with suggested reprogramming ecm, different turbo and exhaust manifold. Has anyone done anything like this, am I asking for trouble? My truck has 690k on it and is a 2000 model W900. Thanks for any info.

Member in this community named Mr. Haney. He is a PDI dealer, but more important, he is the resident Cat God here. He knows tremendous amounts about anything Cat. He will see your thread and guide you through this.
Do a search of the forum. Much has been posted on this and you will find LOTS of info.
Then it takes $.Mr. Haney Thanks this. -

Mr. Haney is definitely the guy to talk too. He has lots of options depending on how much you want to spend(mild to wild) . Not to mention,after the sale he still answers the phone to help you out. I have bought from him and will do so in the future
Mr. Haney Thanks this. -
The biggest bang for your dollars you spend will be programming the ECM. The manifold and turbo can be done at a later date if you stay with a stage 1 tune . The horsepower level of a stage 1 tune isn't high enough to hurt the engine if everything is in good working order.
The Stage 2 tune is very strong for these engines and does require you to upgrade the turbo at the same time you program the ECM.
You could also do a 7CZ file and get great results with the power and fuel mileage.
The PDI manifold does flow better than a stock CAT manifold.
The turbo is built using a newer design Extended Tip Technology compressor wheel for fast response, along with moving more CFM of air than a stock turbo. The turbo is more effiecent than the stock turbo at low engine RPM and if the truck is driven to take advantage of this you will see a fuel mileage increase. -
Thanks Mr. Haney, I will be in contact with you today.
