Just thought I'd share. Truck's starting to look better.

Intake mod

Boost location. Is this right?

3" diamond eye downpipe


LMC dashpad


EGT probe in drivers side manifold as you all suggested.


4" diamond eye cat & muff delete


Toolbox & headache rack by DeeZee


PHP Hydra location. Not sure about this yet.

Glowshift gauges but they work well so far


Mudflaps


New headlights. I think it's looking better.

Its coming along! Now you need the Alcoas, I hate those simulators, but that's just me. I just tapped into the MAP line for the boost gauge, but your location will work.

^ Alcoas for the win I'm also not a fan of the simulators.

Where would I start looking for Alcoas and what might be a ballpark price?

Car-parts.com is a good place to look. On the price, it is hard to say I got a set of fronts off of eBay for a 100 bucks, but they had been painted black. A little paint remover and some elbow grease, and they were good enough for my C&C work truck. The nice ones command a lot more, Somebody had some listed on eBay for $350 a pop.

My wife keeps saying it needs a paint job. Maybe you can see that the hood, cab top, and the top of the rear fenders have lost all their clearcoat. I've been kind of thinking about scuffing the whole truck up and just clearcoat the whole thing as is for that "rat rod" sort of look. Any opinions?

SWEET, another red dually! I wish mine was a four door like yours. Your paint bad? Have you seen my Redsurrection thread? Now my paint sucks.

I applaud the dash mat! I need Alcoas too, all in due time.

EDIT - Somewhere I saw that the PHP Hydra has a 2-1/16" gauge thing to flip between tunes!

Better looking than my pile. 3 years and still the paint job is on the back burner. My MODO is "mechanical sound first, looks later"
this is how mine looks function over looks, dont mind the wheels they are for stability when towing my gooseneck trailer.

Adam, I absolutely agree. What good is a nice looking truck that doesn't run. From the list of mods in your sig it looks like you have it running right. Not sure where I need to go next. Do you guys think I really need IC if I don't plan on towing much more than a boat? My plan is hauling a camper and towing a fishing boat.

Nice red dually! Makes me miss Ruby just a little (my red dually in my sig). Sold her to a ******* idiot who blew it up 3 months after he bought her. And there is nothing wrong with those GS gauges. I have used mine for almost 5 years with zero issues.

You WILL need an IC if you plan to tow much, unless it's just for short trips.
