great, now i can be jealous in 2 forums....

 

Drove it today with new injectors and stock pumpaxed. Friggin rips. souns amazing. I. Love. It.

 

idle soounds great i want it so bad lol!
any thoughts on the bullnose grille or any grille at all hah, i like whats there temporarily, unique
also may i ask what the 2X4 row of switches on the lower dash are for?

 

bullnose perhaps. But in that case rather a 78 or 79 grill. I dunno im just rocking this for now. it works, and its easy to remove for servicing components behind it. Well see. but TBH i dont care for having a stock grille on there, I like my ugly mug. Not another one like it thats for sure!
The switches are for all aux function, pushbutton for glowplugs, the lit toggle switches are for reverse lights, aux work lights, cab and parking lights, crane winch, front winch arm, front axle line lock, aux driving lights.

 

I see what your sayin about the accessibility, so in retrospect it is your build do it your way hah w/ or w/o a grille she's a beauty, custom looks better than factory in most cases
[your case especially!]

 

Truck looks amazing. Hope mine looks that good when it's done

 

Looks amazing!

 

some pics since I haven't updated in a while. finishing bumper finally, justing from R&D hooked me up with a low mile S366 charger which will be replacing the restrictive hx35, finish the interior and some minor odds and ends.





bumper stillnot done

 

I was starting to wonder what happened to this beauty!

 

ah didnt post a pic of the completed back rack.. Waiting on new rad and new turbo should be in on friday, then order whatever materials are necessary to get it lined up.

 

shes in, thansk R&D

 

new trubo feels GOOD! interior al labck in nice and cozy agian. bedlinered floor feels good. still a few small things to button up. thing has some balsl and a whole lot of whistle now. shes is definitly not chocked out, but needs more fuel now!

 

So how much HP does that make?

 

havent been on a dyno yet, but based loosely off of r&ds old setup testing, i THINK i should be around 280ish rwhp 600-650 rwtq. I know with his rd90 pump and j2 cam he was at 300/700 at the wheels. says his cam makes about 2.5:1 torque to hp, vs stock is somewhere 2:1 if memory serves me right. So this is just a stock maxed up, peak fueling and overall curve is a bit lower. I will be going with a 110 pump eventually next year. I would like to dyno before that.

 

I would like to see your dyno results when you get around to it
