Maybe I can talk my wife into riding with me and using the video feature on the new digi cam to record it if you really want to know. Can I post this up to the site or do I have to go to you tube? Maybe Nick should just get some footage for me when he is doing his smoke movies
I wish you told me that this moring. I just went out and shot some fotage.

I wouldn't max your EGTs past 1250-1300 for very long, short bursts are OK. The trans temps will stay low if your not in stop and go traffic or towing. If your crusing at freeway speeds they will stay low. How long did you drive it short trips it won't come off 100.

Are you running a additional cooler? I'm adding the True cool max 4739, because my temps start to get up there when I'm plowing for extended periods. Plus I tow almost everyday during my busy season.

The decel is on 60 hp and mine is in pos #7 which i dont like if i ever send back i will get it put between 60t and 80e . Easier to switch that way So when you order think of this. It is the woosh sound but good with a big pipe. And as far as updating profile Sflem 849 i will get grant to do it next time he is in ga. I am not to sure about it. He hopefully will come down soon so i can work on his truck.

Truck looks and sounds great. Job well done, You have a great future in customizeing ahead for you.

Your exhaust sounds real good, Do You have a muffler on it or is it straight piped?

Great job
Floyd

Thanks for the kind words and It was straight piped but there was a moan on the inside of the truck at 60 - 70 so we put the muffler on for now.
