Looks great Glenn! I like your air box set up. I'm assuming you like the sound proofing and such? I didn't check your thread to see if you posted your findings on if it helped or not.
What kind of batteries are those? I think I'm going to be battery shopping next spring. All I can do is look at mine and start mine at the moment. They have put enough salt down on the roads around here to melt Antarctica.
Hopefully your hard work has paid off and your wife will be satisfied with the sound deadening! Nice job Glenn!

Those are very, very expensive XS Power battery's. Got them from SummitRacing. They spin the motor over so fast I think its going to throw the fly wheel out, LOL

Nice work on the sound proofing it does make a significant difference. Did you also do the door seal mod where you pull foam backer rod through the tube door seals. That made a big difference for my red sig truck. Nice engine bay pix, no boost fooler?

The truck looks great Glenn, it really does. I'm really happy to hear that it is running like it should be. I'm curious to see how it performs when you get your house hitched up behind it. It sounds like it should be a beast!

Very nice Glenn!
Regarding your speedo getting stuck.
My tach was the same way.. when i took it out the 'sticker' or the thing that has the numbers came loose and affected the needle.
You may just need to hit the junk yard and get another. I'm not sure if speedo can be done like tachs due to the odometer(memory stored in pcm or in the speedo?)... but worth a shot.

I would think so. Seems pretty quiet even on the outside too.

I've been told that a boost fooler is just a leak. Your tuner should be able take care of the code. IIRC.
Oops hit the wrong button.
On edit: Looks great Glenn! Have a good trip and I hope the wife is happier with the noise reduction. Oh you too I guess.........

What do you mean by just a leak? I don't want to mess with my tunes, they work so well besides the last trip setting that code, and a little rpm fluxing with the cruise on at 70ish mph.
Ready for the trip tomorrow Glenn?

I set a 238 all the time. I forgot to ask Jody about it when I saw him last month. Anyway a buddy was getting his rig live tuned and had one of those boost fooler things. Or something along those lines. It may have been defective for all I know. I'm assuming these things all work the same. I may be incorrect on all counts. It was indicated the 238 could be removed via tuning if need be. Not a change in tuning but disable the code. However that is done. I reserve the right to be completely full of it. But thats how I remember it. LOL
