Could be when I got the truck they had put tires,track bar and done an
alignment on it. That was 43K miles ago. OOPS almost forgot the brake job.

The guys at Billy Bob's Off-road said to go with
the shocks from Fox. I am still on the fence on that one.

No almost about it, I think I am over 3500 with them between the trans, clock spring
and the trans not counting any core fees. I need to get the 2nd injector ordered this week,

The turbo flange was thin and didn't seal very well.

I've installed several MBRP kits and they have always been like butter.

I have a MBRP Turbo-Back (w/kitty delete) Kit which fit like a Glove & no issues after 3+ years

I'll be interested inthat one. Gave it a good eye balling and doesn't look too fun unless you dismantle the front end.

Does anyone know what would cause rough running when decelerating after headgaskets and 155/30 injectors?-buddies truck not mine. The problem existed with both stock and tuned ECM.

Finally solved a problem I've had since the DC-Power 190 HD Alternator install, couldn't keep my CAC Pipe off the power stud. I would play w/it for 30-45 minutes &
it would seem ok but every time I opened the hood...Rubbing

Well no more, after a little heat & careful hammer blows to make sure the Dent came out very smooth (laid a 3lb where I wanted it then lightly struck w/a 5lb)
we have this

Last couple weeks I have replaced the CAC boot at the turbo, replaced plastic CAC pipe with metal one and the boot at the intake.
New bilstien 5100 shocks
Oil/filter
Both tranny filters and fluid
Installed sub box with 3 8" jbl subs along with amp and wiring.


Straight piped it a couple months ago too

Snow almost all melted then made a mess today. It's like "spring is here.... APRIL FOOLS!"
