i can see why. I got some thinking to do. I did just put the EBPV deleted pedestal and new O-Rings on this past summer though. I'll wait until it starts leaking again most likely.

Man you are not kidding Nick. I just don't have the coin at the moment. You'd be surprised how much this little Garrett woke up though after the injector install. I was pretty pleased. It IS on the list, believe me.

Just got my new tail lights today on the mail.













I replaced the tail lights because one of them had a crack on the back and kept burning my light bulbs look way better.
Next will be my headlights.

Looking good. Make sure that 3rd brake light is working as well. It ties into the TC lockup.

Tomorrow im ordering the E99 spider to plenum boots from Clay. Im thinking of re sealing the intake plenums, theres oil leaking from the passenger side plenum, and its from the plenum I performed a boost leak down test and surely enough the dam thing is leaking air not a hole lot but enough to bother me.
What do you guys think?
How hard is the passenger side? Does it have the open end( bottom bolt on the side of the hpop) like the super dutys? Any suggestions?

Carefully there, not ALL have them, I read somewhere one case without the open end, OK?

The three that I've messed with had them but I guess not all pickups are created equal.

WOW! This SPX wheel I installed
So heres the story.....
Today I went to pick up a 7500lbs skid loader from the bosses house with a 2300lbs tandem trailer, coming from his house I encounter a maybe a 5% grade around 7 miles long and boy with my light tow tune my egts would not climb above 1100, and decided to test my hot tune egts were manageable at around 1200egt, that wheel reduced my egts by as much as 150° for some reason my egts are lower when towing on hills than empty. That 6.0 ic is bad *** and props to kevin with his spx and rebuild kit.
Heres pics of my truck, trailer, and skid loader.
