Wow
Thanks for all the answers guys. This site and you guys are unbelieveably helpful. How difficult are some of these mods? I can do alot of stuff myself, new intake and exhaust no prob, but I have never run new gauges and what is a transmission plate and how hard is it and a boost regulator to install?
Thanks,
Chad

I got your back Scott.
HAH HAH..DI is the best!! David has been a huge help and influence with the build of my rigg..David's the man. When I blew my chip and the computer on my truck, making adjustments. He helped me diagnose the problem and set me up with a brand knew chip at 50% the cost of a knew one. I even told him it was my fault. That's how you take care of your customers. He gets all my business.

Before you do anything, I suggest you run gauges first. That way you know what your truck will do for a baseline. For instance, I knew that I would run about 75-80 above ambient temps with my stock trans and a 6.0 cooler. After the BTS trans went in, I can measure what I run and know that I am doing 75-80 above ambient towing my 8500# toy hauler. That way, when Brian said my trans should run cooler, I can verify it and know whether he is blowing smoke up my butt or not. I also know that I am running about 65 above empty as opposed to previously running 75-80 above.
