Little bit of both Jim as far as MPGs though I averaged close to 16 driving 75-80. Played with the tuner some and was certainly not easy on it. It was fun. 650+ HP and 1100+ ft/lbs is fun!
No troubles once the drive started at all. Truck did have a bad alternator when we got there, but they took care of it for me.

Glad you got the alternator diagnosed and repaired....
This doesn't sound like the same truck that they advertised on eBay - or is it not "that" truck?

That's what all these trucks put down with the same setup. Add some injector work and turbo upgrade in and it gets nuts. Already puts out 40 lbs of boost...
Chris, I got them balanced. I would guess they put tires on without balancing at all...

Why what did I say that was negative? The fact that I said it was I said that it was hard to believe? I said it was very cool after that and said it was impressive as well. Sorry if you took it wrong.

Not to say yours won't make those numbers, but it would be good to actually put it on a dyno to test it out and confirm that everything is okay. Many large diesel shops that I worked with in Texas did a dyno test to confirm that the fuel and air management systems were functioning properly - particularly after an injector or pump overhaul / replacement..
All that said, if it's got all the 'Nads you want and it serves your needs - great!
