Talking Spreading the Mod Bug!!!!

At work yesterday - one of the mechanics came out to work on my loader and we got to talking about trucks and diesels and chips and other horsepower hop-ups. I was telling him about the dyno day out at Kauffmans and all the black smoke flying. Anyhow - long story short...

His company truck is a '99 PSD - so I installed my SCMT on his truck on the low setting and told him to go have fun. I haven't seen him since but I heard that he was "giggling like a school girl at a boy band concert" when he got back to the shop on Thursday night! He called me tonight at about quitting time and was wondering if I'd sell the tuner and that he didn't know if he could drive the truck without it!!!

Yet another addition to the PSD mod family - bet he'll be asking me to help put gauges on the truck next.....

7.3 Sled, I know its tough but wait on the clamp until your gauges come in. When you watch that pryo you'll be glad you did. Cat, so I guess that offer to use you SCMT at Fall Brawl is off huh? Don't worry about it man sell it and start that new turbo fund.

7.3sled - I know it's a never ending "that's what I'm gonna get next" thing. And I'll have to ditto what Psdpower said about the gauges - definitely have them first!!

psdpower - The thing is I don't really know if I want to sell the tuner. I haven't really NEEDED it yet - but it'd come in real handy to check and clear my codes.... But like you said that "new turbo fund" is calling!! I'll probably hang on to it for now and when my turbo fund gets close - maybe then I'd sell it just to top the fund off!

Did you use the correct wires, there shouldn't be anything running to the brown wire. I don't think it matters what direction the resistor is going. With the clamp I actually picked up 2 mpg.
