WTG chicagodragon! I think you may need some gauges next. To keep an eye on your exhaust temps at the least. You are well on your way brother!.....I see you may have some gauges already....don't forget the HOOOOOOOOGA HORN! a classic must!

question; on the 10k mod, all trucks will act differently to different resistance. is it related to the calibration code in the door jam?

I didn't know there was such a gauge. I figure if the hump is hot so is the turbo and I don't think that is good. I would monitor that if I could
