Thanks for the warm welcome and advice guys. As far as being a support as a b00n goes, I feel the info I will/have got here will turn out to be well worth the investment.

I already did my 6637. Truck had the trans rebuilt 3 months ago, shift kit and trans cooler added. It has a Pyro, Boost, and Oil temp pod.

The DP is first on my list, WTF were they thinking! Then str8 pipe. Not sure if i have a cat, I'll double check....Oregon truck.

I got the truck from a family that baught it new, so i was able to get an excellent history on it. Records and maintainence were all done at the purchasing stealership. I'm a DIY guy.

I may go get a BB today and try thr FPR spring. Whay not just add an adjustable FPR though......

I am Burried with Children so mods that don't cost are always a plus!

The WVO conversion will begin shortly. Some of the parts are here already, cool stuff!
Later,
Cord
P.S. Does my truck looked lifted to ou guys? It has aftermarket shocks and sits over the 285/75s pretty well.....

Check the fuel pressure first before the BB thing.
Also see if its a 97 Cali truck. If it is. It has the higher fuel pressure.
If the fuel pump has a disk on it its a Cali. 1 owner Oregon could still be a Cali.

Your truck looks nice and for me it has a lift.

I would say that truck has a leveling kit on the front (third leaf spring added).

yes thats what I am talking about but when it looks like that you can mouse over it and it will pop up and say "old body Style". it works with truck/net lingo and also was set up for codes like P1211. Mouse over the P1211 and it defines the code!! very nice!

I'll check that out.

Mine does appear to be a Cali truck. So I have to gut or remove the cat as well now....

One question, has anyone found a source of factory style hose clamps for the intake tube? he ones with the slits cut in them that index with the rubber tabs on the intake tube? Right now I have used some 1/8" thick SS cable ties. Works fine but i'd like to have the correct part.
