Thats a good looking truck! The 6.4L Powerstroke was a massive improvement over the 6.0L as well...granted it's no Scorpion motor of todays models hehe.

You can have a LOT of fun with those things and with a few minor bolt ons and a tune...wicked TQ levels!

MAF calibration needed...your fuel trims are way off, meaning either there's a boost leak, or your not calibrated correctly, either way, that will lead to the issues you're having.
