DP-Tuner is good especially if you rent the infinity unit to datalog. I decided to install a Hydra unit to try other tuners. Right now, trying to make it work with Gearhead. Jelibuilt was a mistake. Thankfully it was only $80. Pedal seems twitchy and there is shuddering at certain RPMs. He suggested changing pretty much every sensor and maybe the 2 oil pumps without really wanting to do testing. Tried to schedule a time to talk but he never called me so if Gearhead can't do it, I think I will go back to DP-Tuner which I already have.

Nice, gonna be a minute, between what i have spent recently and still need to install, going to ponder a bit.
was going to rebuild my turbo this weekend, but had a funny crunch in the front end, my right outer ball joint is loose, so going to replace both of the outers and the track bar is bent ( previous owner escapades)

Thats how I did it too (many times) until I figured out the EASY way!! I’ve done a bunch of 4wd swaps over the years and had front axle install down to ‘before lunch’. We could pull a 2wd truck in first thing in the AM and drive it to lunch with D50/D60 front axle.
Its Comin Right for us!

100%. No drilling required. No measuring. No math. No engineering. Just swap the parts over! Coil spring swap is a little more work, but still no measuring, etc.
