I would not doubt one bit you made power with a 4" exhaust. I saw lower egts going from 4-5. I saw squat going to the bd pulse 3 peice manifold. Nothing on gauges or but dyno.

I agree16-17 isnt bad. Specially for stock turbo and smallish injectors with some mies. Tune it so it puts some smoke out the tail pipe and see what happens for the mpg numbers

Haha I'm running 80mph right now making like 7psi. **** why its Saturday? How are you liking the quad?

No independent front end. Unless it's a Cab n chassis 3500

Parts are all mostly junk. I'd buy whatever from whom ever is close. Hope to get 50k out of them

I think it could idle pretty rough and still hold beer on the valve cover

5" with nothing was undrivable nothing about it was cool. It did have cool sound at side but ohhh my on the throttle was just embarrassingly noisy

I've seen 40psi without making the head gasket blowout. But thts upper rpm pulling grades normal driving I rarely even see 30

62 65 14 with 7x009 without studs plus smarty. Truck not driven hard and does tow. 62 65 14 is roughly the same s 62 68 12. Glad I went this route over the hx40. I'm in the s300 with 3rd gen forward facing housing about 700 bucks with stainless diesel intake tube and boots. My turbo install was a goat rope because I accidentally ordered the 3rd gen style with 4.4" exhaust outlet. I also fabbed 4.4 down pipe. Nothing about my set was a bolt on affair for my 2nd gen. But somehow worked This set up spools extremely well. Compared even to how the hy35 spools and makes numbers well over 30psi with no egt issues even pulling 18k

I attempted 5" with no muffler. Drove around the block pulled right back in the garage and put one fte short resonator on.. this helped alot. Killed alot of drone and noise. Couldnt tell any difference from the straight pipe. However I found it still to noisey so I I orderd a second fte. This killed more drone and noise. Still no felt difference in power. I think I have one of the quiter 5" trucks however on the throttle its still alittle loud but I dont drive onthe throttle much. Was hoping the 62 turbo would quite it more but I think it actually got slightly louder I also didnt notice any change in egts from no resonator to two resonators.. Youl be happy with the fte.

I can somehow make it work with some 7018 rod. ;) I need lenses bad. I may just do them and upgrade kater

337 is every thing needed minus lenses?

Painted yet

I run thf1000 Chevron in everything. But I do put dot 4 or 3 in the brakes

What would happen if plastic ball melted in the valve body. One way valve in transmission cooler line?

Was the accumulator spring broken? Is tv operating normally cable not broken? Does it down shift at all on its own when coasting to a stop with or ith out brake input? Does tranny slip with tourge converter locked in 3rd? Can you tell when tourqe converter locks. Did you put atf+4 back in it? A new tranny is still much cheaper than trading in on a 2008 theyl give you next to nothing for yours. If a 4door is wanted more then I'd recommend getting a new truck. Otherwise I'd not be one bit hesitant to put 5 grand towards a tranny. To me it sounds like a flush on tractor transmission fluid may help since you mention sludge. You may also be plugging the new filter quickly and its having a hard time picking up fluid under low rpms. I've gone back to old style filter on my 02. The 98 older filter has a much bigger area it picks fluid up from. To me a tranny running sludgy dark fluid has been neglected for a long time and was never slated to run for a long time. But could potentially pull out and live longer with some tractor transmission fluid cycled through it and finger crossing. May take a few filter changes cycling out fluid. It may also need the bands replaced. It can be done. I feel its 50/50 weather or not it can be revived depending on how unhealthy it really is and if it's making pressure like it should. If a pressure gauge shows 50is at idle and 90ish locked in 3rd near wot. throttle I think I'd be willing to gamble 100 bucks on some filters and cycling fluid. If pressure is really low like 30 at idle and 70 locked it may be just done. But then again that sludge is spread throughout so it may come back to life ounce parts and passages begin to clear out. I did not notice any tranny mods in your sig. that's alot of motor for stock tranny to hold long term Good luck

Theres local place that gets 80 a wheel to blast and powder coat. I also doubt plastic dip would hold up. I've debated painting myself but not sure that would hold up.

I'm not breaking 17 much. But my empty weight is 10k. Towing I'm about 15mpg but dont tow a ton maybe 50-100miles on tank

Cruising Speedo is correct https://youtu.be/cNAiULZHLZI

Cant wait to see those sweet wheels finished. I may have find a set

I like that plan. I think I remember seeing some stuff on Ebay when I was researching my jeep. I decided that since Chrysler went ay from the vacumn actuator that I'd bust out the welder and do the same. Jeep light comes on and says part time 4wd. My truck 4x4 light comes on half th time. Not sure why though it doesn't matter

The noncad trucks are basically in 4wd 100% of the time. Ont thing that happens to engage the front end is grab the tcase lever and shift it into gear to drive the already locked front end. The cad trucks are also but the combination of spider gears and unlocked axles shafts means that if tcase is engaged and actuator doesn't lock the pwer will go to path of last resistance through the spider gears wich happens to then be the unlocked inner axle shaft. Technically everything is working just the axle is soaking up the power from the transfercase in the spider that has no resistance. I to would like to have 2hi but not on vacumn switch that will fail. Vacumn and 4wd should never go together they've been failing ever since combined in 1859 I'd like to run my dana60 with Detroit locker and old school hubs. I'd have 2high with unlokced hubs and the ability to choose to lock both hubs or leave one unlocked if running on pavement. Cost is much to high to convert to hubs unless I come across a dana60 out of a 78-79 ford and build a axle for fun someday. Maybe with long arms since that's leaf sprung axle and will need stripped to go under a coil sprung dodge I better just leave as is alone since it works and jeep hacking on my jeep . posi lock sells a cable actuator for jeeps I'd assume they also do for the dana60 cad axles. It cost like 100bucks and also gives 2low

If it were mine I'd install non cad axle shaft and plug vacumn lines. My jeep has the same cad setup. I welded the collar in place permanently locking it. I also have a noncad axle with lower gears thats some day going in it

Yes send them to him
