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?

Got me brother! I don't have the gauges. I do know the the "HUMP" gets hot when ya dawg it. I am sure that can't be good
EDIT: I dunno about the door jamb code...new news to me. (I don't know much to begin with).

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

LOL, I know how it is....it is a Friday night! I am watching my CAPITALS and the snow come down. I can't wait to go sled riding tomorrow with my daughter. I am truly in heaven. (even though I can't afford it and will pay for it some where along the line)
