I also recommend Dynamic. He just did rebuilt mine and couldn't be happier.

@wil440 How is a guy with a couple of 2nd Gens living in Leicestershire, UK?! My dad was born there and I still have cousins who live in the Great Glen area! Crazy small world.

I’m on the fence to swap out my stock chrome 5 spokers. They only have 90K on them. Just need a change and I think something solid in black sounds like a good plan.

Savalin -those are sharp looking. I think I'll keep the stock as is. I'm curious on these Black Rocks. Like the look and not that pricey. Good load capacity. Some good reviews/some mixed from other 2nd gens w/these.

I have the 16x8 Aluminum Alloy Polished 5 Spoke rims now. They're solid. Thinking of a steel wheel in black for a change.

None technical post here so be warned... Anyone got any aftermarket 16" wheels they like and can recommend with some pics? I'm not looking for anything too flashy and my stock rims are just fine. Just thinking of dressing my truck up a little. Think my truck has too much chrome at the moment.

Brand new tires so I’m going to have to deal with the ratio for now. EGT is controllable. Thanks for all the replies.

About 1760 RPM @ 65. Mentioned the tires earlier - 285/75/16.

Yep agreed. Honestly I think my EGTs are manageable and I watch them like a hawk. On ave the MPG with the camper is around 15 so its not great but acceptable. Last run I made with it was just over. My main focus for now is to address some of the laggy turbo.

Impressive numbers and view! What about EGTs over a long steep grade fully loaded? That's what I need to contend with. I'm hitting around 1150 @ 60/65 (probably more like 70 with the tires) on a couple of steep mountain passes in WA with the truck & camper loaded ~10K lbs. If I crest 1250 i usually drop out of O/D which then drops the temp 150 or so degrees.

That 400+ temperature is bananas. That's my idle temperature in gear. Assume in that video you're pulling your RV? I just bought new tires too so unlikely to downsize to stock. I'm also liking the less aggressive tread on these than the previous which is a big plus on the highway.

Sounds good. I’ve got some bigger tires 285/75/16s so I’m probably not helping I would like to see that tune you’re running. I’ve tried to go deep on tweaking all the quad parameters myself but I’ve decided I’ll just leave that to others.

Good info. I've got a few things to install on the truck including the ATS 3000 and a new manifold so why not just keep going with some new injectors while I'm at it!

Ya. what about 7 x.09s - 100HP vs .010s? Trying to keep the fuel to my turbo size optimal. Perhaps i'll just need to adjust the quad tune afterwards.

That's where i was leaning - installing the ats 3000. i'm indifferent about the injectors. They perform fine, not too smoky and only briefly when I stomp on the pedal. but I do hear that 50% complain about DDP and the other half like them. The next set I buy will be likely be thru DAP.

Hey All - new paying member to the forum. Taking a break from the CF for a bit. Question is all too familiar I suspect. Trying to decide what to do with my 2nd gen to optimize my setup. I'm towing - or should say carrying a new truck camper (~2800 lbs) and lately going through the Washington state mountain passes and ridgelines. Lots of long slopes. My signature shows my mods but mainly I want to see if I'd be better served by increasing my injector size from 50HP to 100 to better pair with the Fleece HX35 63/65 turbo i'm running. I do see a bunch of lag even with the Quad tow tune I'm running that i had the guys @ DAP build for me. I control EGTs on long inclines mainly with my foot and disabling O/D when its start to climb above 1250 F. I also have a new uninstalled ATS Aurora 3000 turbo on hand i've been thinking of installing as its sized for fast spool up with a 58 mm inducer and for towing applications. Thinking that this maybe a better choice of a towing turbo with 100 HP injectors. I don't need any more power than 450 HP which is the power limit my 47re was rebuilt for. Hopefully this is enough to help some folks weigh in. Cheers!
