Gotta get some new pictures up soon, but most recent development was new Stage 1 Turbo and SCT Livewire programmer. I also had the rotors turned, and pads replaced - only mention it because it almost cost my family and I our lives. I'll post pics soon, but just about lost a wheel the day after the brakes were done while on an overpass doing 70MPH over another intestate. I ended up with a single stud/lug on the side of the interstate. Truck has been back in the shop since Monday having the front U-joints and passenger hub replaced.

I'll try to get pics of the turbo, Livewire, and the wheel from the night of the event posted by this weekend.

For those that are interested, stage one makes a HUGE difference with Cold air intake; cold air intake now sounds like a giant shop vac sucking in air to the point it almost drowns out the 5" turbo back exhaust, and the Livewire OMGOSHDANGGOOGLYMOOGLY...

Wheel after getting the truck to a stop:


This is the Second to the last stud that was on the ground when the truck came to a stop, and cross threaded as hell. There was a last survivor that saved our lives, and it was about to give up too...


I'm supposed to get the truck back tomorrow night, so I'll try to take pictures of everything on Friday.

Glad that you are okay!!!!
Hopefully the wheel was not damaged inthe process.. I would double check each wheel on the truck by removing and re-installing every lug nut and torque it to spec. Then in another fifty miles, check that torque again.
Someone at the shop you had your truck serviced at is a friggen idiot.. Don't trust them...
