been busy.... wicked wheel install and foil delete

[dave3703]

well gang, been a bit busy getting the "new" truck the way I want it..... finally had some time and the weather cooperated.... complete the wicked wheel install (turbo off) version.... only took a complete 8-10 hrs saturday and sunday.... I'm a little bit sore and my hands are a wreck but I got it accomplished..... worst thing about it was getting the line-up pin on the v-pipe & turbo and then get that clamp on..... but after frustration set in the 1st night I took it out on the foil cover IC pipe.... man is it nessy getting it off but sure does look 100% better.... truck sounds a little better and I've noticed 5-8 psi boot at lower RPMs.... Oh and the previous week I got it lifted... 4 inchs rev-tech lift .... and the guy made me a deal I couldn't refuse on a stainless grill so got that too..... Now just got to fugure out what tunes I want for the F-5 DP tuner: I know i want the +80 and +100 hp ..... but the econ and towing ones I have to think a bit harder on .... lift and grill pics are in my album.... tanks again guys for all the knowledge,,,, it helps even novice wrenchers to have a successful outcome!!! no telling what a shop would have charged to install that wheel.... laters, David

Sounds like you got a lot done. It sure is a pain doing some of the mods to these trucks, but it's worth it in the end.

Sounds like your getting it there! For me it's just much more rewarding doing the work myself then paying someone.
