T4/SXE vs. KC38R - Decision has been made...
#317
Dan V- are you keeping the 160/30's with the new turbo? Should be a really good fit. I'd love to see someone try a SXE362 or 363 with stock nozzles. I remember reading some time ago that the SXE362 outflowed the 38R. I think the SXE turbos might be good enough to justify a change to the T4 for stock - AC injector trucks if you got the $$.

As for the T-105's, we really wanted lithium, but were not willing to spend that much quite yet. The T-105's should last for many years if they are maintained properly. I bought 2 NOCO boxes that fit 2 of the batteries exactly. They are easy to get to and the water is not a problem to check on.
Victron electronics will charge and control the solar panels.
See-Level and WiFi Ranger going in at the same time.

Thanks for asking! We're good. We are inland nearly 5 hrs and experienced only some heavy rain and a little gusty wind-never lost power. Thunderstorms are generally more intense than what we got, it just lasted a few days is the difference. The coast, Triad and a few other areas did get hammered as you see on the news.

The problem with pictures like the one you posted earlier is that the angle of the camera can be tough to get right.
I saw Akcooper9's truck a couple weeks ago in person and saw something similar to what you posted by looking under the truck from the passenger side.
I also saw where he had connected a piece of flex exhaust pipe (like you find on 18 wheelers) between the down pipe and exhaust. There was a slight bend to the flex pipe, but nothing that alarmed me.
How did the shop finish yours up and did they say anything about the down pipe not lining up 100%?

I'm on my 3rd down pipe....
First down pipe was clocked wrong, second down pipe was clocked right but where the flange for the turbo was welded on was cut to short. Third one is correct (although I do have a slight jog in my flex pipe).
I hope a year later Carson has things figured out with his pipe bender.
