For those familiar with the turbo BlueOx01 installed recently, that turbo is on sale if you're willing to wait a while to get it. I am strongly considering it and thought I'd share. This is the 12 cm^2 version, not the 9.

Mine was from a Stinger plus system back 05. Gauges, 4" exhaust w/flow thru muffler, exhaust housing plus waste gate set at 33 psi, Ottomind tuner at +75 hp. The tuner crapped out around 2012 and I lost function of the gauges since they went thru the tuner. I enjoyed it while it worked but knowing what I know today l could done it more affordably back then. 

According to my neighbor (who originally bought the truck new and installed the kit) it gave it a decent bit more power. Being a 12'er, no electronic turner to go bad. It came with what is roughly a no 5 or 6 plate/banks cut. Had a 4in SS cat back banks exhaust as well. The wastegate actuator may have come out of adjustment or gotten weak, but I only ever saw about 22-24psi before I blocked it.  

Neighbor said he was satisfied as he was hauling 17 rolls of hay on a 35ft trailer and wanted to see what it would do. He got up to 95 and let off as he didnt want to see what a blowout would do. He also grossed 32k lb on a separate occasion with the same 2500 truck.  Claims it had plenty of umph.

I will be waiting too. It was a presale and will take 30 to 60 days before l see it.

 The way the mail is moving lately it may be longer than that. I ordered a water separator valve from RA 10 days ago. It was stuck in detroit for 4 days. I'm still waiting.

I know exactly why the USPS is so busy, they're like Cool Hand Luke, digging and filling holes over and over again.

I ordered a book from Colorado Springs on the 8th, and I have every reason to believe the USPS received it no later than Friday the 11th but likely by the 10th.  It left Denver on the 13th and finally got to Kansas City, KS on Wednesday the 16th.  Keep in mind this is straight down Interstate 70.  It sat there for two days, then drove south (the wrong direction) about 20 miles to Edgerton, KS.  So far it has been to KCK four times, and Edgerton, KS three times.  One time it apparently only spent 22 minutes in Edgerton.  I live in an area where if I order something early in the day from Amazon, I may get it later that day.  The Amazon facility is in or near Edgerton!!!!!  Expected delivery date is Wednesday the 23rd.  Un-f&*#%-believable .

I got a package that's been at local post office for 5 days now according to tracking and it's saying will be delivered tomorrow. I think they have a deal with amazon where all that gets delivered first then the rest of stuff

I dont know how they figure out deliveries. I ordered my wiper and other parts on Sunday the 7th from RA. Chosemthe cheapest shipping, USPS, and delivery was expected on the following  Thursday. Turns out they went Fed ex ground and arrived on Wednesday.  Needless to say I was pretty darn happy with that for the cheap shipping. Maybe I ought order thru Amazon and we can have some target practice when the drone comes. Will the fun never end.

Shipping is hard. I had two backordered orders ship from Midway on Monday. I got the shipping notifications within minutes. One arrived last Thursday, and one that just now sent me a delivery notification.

 Yeah I believe it. I checked the tracking on my part, it left detroit yesterday at 9:40am, now all it says it it's in transit. Detroit is only 50 miles north. Good Lord! I could have drove there to get it and been back, had it installed and done by now!
