Fuel mileage with new injectors
My lie o meter reads 28 with duck sac 7x009 actual mileage is 17-19 i can bust 19 if i run only freeway Thats with smarty on 9 and 62 turbo auto trans with 3.55s and rpm less than 2000 tires about 32.5
-

do 7x.10 ,and 62 combo for around 1800

Quadzilla and new 7x9s
Driving a big rig teaches pedal. I guess i do agree with 0-100 in that since. Ounce and done. If aut also make sure it dhuftd at or very near 3000rpm

Quadzilla and new 7x9s
I dissagree if pedal is rarely ever pushed to the floor why would I care what smke or power is there. A wire tapped quad with 7x009 has the potential to power through a stock clutch or auto trans . Exspecly from a stop.

Giving the jeep some tlc.
Fabbed some long arms and ohh man ride is amazing. Literally night and day better. I did 3link arms are 31" long instead of the 15" from the factory. The jeep guys call this a midterm but its a long mid arms. These arms are about 8" longer than jeeps coming off the showroom floor today.

Turbo to tail pipe
I think it would be waist of time money to upgrade turbo to anything less than a 62 62 68 12 paired with 150 injectors. Muffled by the long fte twister muffler. Your choice of 4 or 5" The semi mufflers are more likely to hve rust problems then the twister mufflers because the packing traps moisture Your truck will then make you grin ?

47RE Build
I'd shoot for 400ish horse. I run 3.55gears 47re I feel the 4.10 trucks are wrapping higher rpms than I like. Im getting great mpg and run 80mph with 18k in tow Maybe its cause I've been doing it with the same truck for 15 years. When in others trucks I'm always looking for another gear as 4.10s have em spinning 2500rpm My trucks spent a fair amount of time running 7k heavier though latly a 10-12k machine is the heaviest I tow. I lock over drive out if driving in town or speed limit is 65 or lower. If I didn't run the freeway alot and lived in a mtn town where speed limits are 40-65 then maybe id lie 4.10s

Sound like a boost leak ?
Been a few years since I've done valves I have cleaned iat ounce I would say my truck idles smoother like less popping compared to otheres if that makes since. It used to loap alitt when injectors where new and would sometime die when going from reverse to neautral. It no longer does either
-
Sound like a boost leak ?
Hmmm My truck has always sounded different than othere cummins I've been around. Otheres seem to idle more healthy sounding I dunno. Maybe mass airflow sensor or something

Picking out a new turbo
I've been running 33-34" tire for 10is years . I always lock it out of overdrive till getting on the highway. 62 65 14 turbo works well for me with 3.55 gears 32.5" tire and 7x009 injectors temps cool power great, bottom response amazing though if I stand on it from stop or low rpm 1500 itl smoke like all the kids want . Fuel mileage good to.

New front end noise, how can I diagnose the front end?
I ran bearings till they melted the abs sensors. My bearings seemed to get tighter at the melt down stage. Make sure rotor mud collectors arent bent rubbing rotor I have 1bad balljoint replaced all 4 a year ago I'd still eliminate driveline

Giving the jeep some tlc.
More tlc. Oil pan gasket , rear main seal , steering column, clutch, transmission front axle rear axles injectors 2hp. All under way on the back patio . It drives me crazy that I cant figure out why photos work and sometimes dont work. Makes this forumn worthless

Long Cranking Time
Was it the factory starter. If so I'd give you 30bucks for it.

Did it smoke more?

Synthetic vs standard automatic transmission fluid
Not sure were agreeing or not
-
Synthetic vs standard automatic transmission fluid
It's got friction modifiers because it's very slippery synthetic.

62 65 14 100hp sticks building boost with 18k from stop
I'd probably not do al that. Most likely copy your tune or someone that my injector turbo set up. That's partly why I havent done it yet is because I dont want to **** with it

1st-2nd gear delayed shift and low power
Tractor/hydraulic fluid cures all I run Chevron thf1000. Have been for a long time I recently stumbled on ati superF transmission fluid Make sure trans has 100psi ish at wot and at least 50is at idle. You check pressure on the accumulator test 1/8" not fitting to any pressure gauge 50-200psi range. Verify tv lever is working on driverside of tranny.

Coil size
5" rake is what I measured on my 1ton. I've still got some rake but less than I thought. Raising the front kind lowers the rear. So glad I didnt go 3" Did you get your stuff installed. I think your going toove the shocks. They're a game changer
-
1st-2nd gear delayed shift and low power
No I didn't build it. I'm not that confident yet.

1st-2nd gear delayed shift and low power
Its always good seeing it layed out on the bench and going over it with the builder. This is mine around 100k ago. It's a basic build single billett etc. Its towed hard and seen lots of freeway. I'd spend alittle more money and do a triple and dynamic valve body if I had it to do over. Hoping to get another 100k before doing it again this time with triple
