No doubt. Even the 'Street' tune worries me.

Yeah, the first time I truly laid into Black with that Extreme tune, it was a little scary! Not something you want loaded in during the winter, I'm thinking it wouldn't be a good idea on ice and snow!

Got home, turned it back. Not worth blowing something up.

My street tune (that I'm on now) is from DP. Good tune, no smoke, about 100 extra horse. Good tow tune, keeps the EGT's down, no hard shifting, etc. Still has a nice little kick when I need it, though.

I'm looking for glossy to match the paint - easy with vinyl. Tough with plasti-dip.
The plastics will be getting satin black (instead of the gray factory plastic look)

Coolant filter: Installed
Not much to say here, besides I finally got it installed. Hit it with a coat of flat black so the brass wouldn't stand out like a sore thumb - left the ***** red because hey, it looks nice and there's already some red under the hood.
As per most people's recommendations, I'll be changing the filter at 500 or so miles, then after another 1000. Can't wait to see what is inside.

Gauge update:
3 of 4 connected and working. Fuel pressure sensor is dangerously close to the upper radiator hose. I need to make it a remote sender with a little length of hose and some fittings. Nice to be keeping a closer, constant eye on things. Trans temp just needs to be installed physically and it's done.

Thanks! Maybe not as clean looking as the kits, but functional (maybe even more with heavier lines and fittings), and cheap. I'm not building a show truck here, it's a daily driver.

Moar parts...
Added a StrictlyDiesel.com Remote Fuel Pressure Sender hose to my list, the sender that I have was touching the upper rad hose, and that's no bueno.
Also a BulletProofDiesel.com metal HPOP screen, and 'Improved Turbo Oil Drain tube'. I'll be in there that far - why not.
No pics right now - the real good ones will be when we take the cab off. I'm planning on doing a time lapse video of the whole process.
