Finally got around to taking some pics of my truck... it's been a while. Here is the before:






And the after:



The list of things I did...

1) DARK tint.
2) New (used) wheels
3) New tires
4) "Got Smoke" sticker
5) DP tuner
6) JW Valve Body

I got the wheels used offa CraigsList for $175. I didn't think it was a bad deal... I really don't like the caps that are on them but when $$$ permits I will get some "push through" center caps and some chrome lugs and I think it'll look a lot better!

Went with Nitto Terra Grapplers load E tires... 285/75 16. So far I LOVE how they handle and look!

And about the DP tuner.... WOW! Night and Day differance! Towing is a LOT better as well! I think I gotta get the 60tow instead of the 80tow, my temps get kinda high sometimes.... but wow, I dunno how I did without it for so long!

Next on my list is a front leveling kit... ordered a Wicked Wheel but it is on backorder. Oh well... Here are a few more pics! Just haven't posted in a while so thought I would wash the truck, take some pics, and see what you all think!

Looks good Noah!!

 

Looks real good Noah. I sure like the Platium.

 

Looking good Noah.

Is that your ( vehicle security system ) sitting in your front yard.

 

Looks great Noah!

 

looks great gotta get some newer headlights now that'd look sweet!

 

Looks good Noah. I like the stance with the new tires and rims.

 

Thanks guys! Yeah.... that is my old female rott in the front yard. She used to go with me all the time but now has a hard time getting into the bed of the truck. Sometimes she still goes with though...

We also got 2 Boston Terriors. They will guard the truck! Meen looking huh?

 

Noah- That sure is a Fine truck - Let me know when you're ready to sell her, LOL.

 

Nice looking truck. congrats

 

I saw a Tomball ford sticker, that is just up the road from my house. Did you used to live in the Houston area? Great looking truck

 

Lookin' good Noah. What kinda weight are you pulling in 80t? The reason I ask, is I'm thinking of getting 80t.

 

Nice looking truck.

 

Thanks! No.... bought the truck offa e-bay. Flew to Houston and drove it home. Got it last summer when diesel was REALLY high for a GREAT price! Turned out to be a great truck also, no problems yet!

I pull a 5th wheel... fully loaded I think it is close to 9000lbs. That is right on the bubble for the 80t and 60t tunes. The mountains and hills here in New Mexico really make the exhaust temps rise. I think when I get the WW that will help also...

 

I'm still on the fence with 80t. I really like 60t. I haven't pulled much since I got my chip. I had 14k behind me and pulled some pretty steep hills. Temps got to 1100, but I was in it pretty good. I may have to get a 80t trial tune.
