Pictures of trans mount
That's an exhaust mount. Lol its bolted on with transmission mount it appears to be the same exhaust mount that's on my 47re Beware that you will need to spread the frame to get the crossmember out. I welded a bar on bottle jack. I'm almost wondering if the auto and manual use the same crossmember and mount.

Vacation fun
A 24v will compensate for altitude well not altitude but the lack of air. It will adjust the fuel air ratio timming everything really. The 12v wont, itl run richer with less air, less dense air at altitude. Itl always push the same timming and fuel unless you physically change it. However the vp and all computer controlled trucks will make more power at sea level because the air is dense more of it. The fuel air mixture there will create more power it's like stuffing more air and fuel into the combustion chamber. That's why most all hp ratings are done at sea level or very close to see level

I wish the trip meter showed in the pic. On my way home it said 300 yesterday it was over 300 or I'm imagining things I probably never lock timming then I dont drive with much pedal. it is amazing how much power it has off idle with only light throttle applied. It does seem to move a heavy load with ease and toes my horse trailer like it's almost not there. Feels like mike said the hole truck kinda arches it's back and lifts under power. Though I I think his trucks got 100 horse or so on mine. I should try sw 7 with these same settings and see if I notice any change. Maybe give this a few more days to get used to. If the fuel curve changes I should notice.

You guys know how I like to play with exhaust
M55s are one of the longest lasting tires I've ever ran. They also do good in mud and snow. Thanks. I have the fte twister on my 5" a deep mellow idle with a slight whistle. . I'm not huge on the chrome used it because the kenworth had plenty chrome bends. I even have some chrome up by the downpipe. Ounce I get super bored I'll do a 5" Down pipe. More just to just do it then gain anything

Diff switch from 3.55 to 4.10
I really like my 3.55s I wouldn't change to 4.10 even if I had lots of money to throw away. No clue on what smarty settings. If stock injectors I wouldn't think youd see much heat from any settings. How much boost does it make. If its o ly in 22-24 psi range then turn buckling the waste gate closed would probly knock your egts done 1-200deg and might even make the but dyno register more power. I wouldnt go in a gear change with out proper shims and tools to make sure the gear lash is correct. Ring and pinion sets cost way to much to screw up and have to do more than ounce. But the job is very doable for the diy seller that is willing to take the time to learn how to do it right and then do it. I wouldn't even replace 3.55 set with a new 3.55 set with out going through all the same steps same as 3.55 -4.10 swap.

Could be batteries and old cables making it crank slow.

I like it might be alittle more smoke then tourge on 4. So far I'm kinda undecided if timming setting change much of anything. Was thinking about going to no added timing on this setting to see if I cant feel it in the seat. Though I haven't pushed the pedal over half way down in awhile. Also just alittle surge with cruise control on at 70mph. At 65 no surge at all and only seeing a rock solid 5psi. This tank is looking promising to make 20mpg. I haven't towed on it and dont think I will. Just shy of 400 miles on it at 3/4 tank. Usually if I make 400 by a half tank 600 is easy. Not quite 15 at idle

Getting tires from idaho retread
I think I'd like to try the cooper ht3 285x70x17 street tread. I'm putting lots of miles on my mud terrans
-
Proper turbo spool rpm
Hy35 1500 maybe 1300 depending on how I'm coming into the throttle making 30psi by 1800. I'd assume your defueiling since your max boost is at 22

Diff switch from 3.55 to 4.10
How in world are you at 1600 rpms with 31s 1200 deg is what I try not to go over when pulling a hill. I'll pull a hill in the 12s with no worries. More than that I start to worry

Getting tires from idaho retread
Saving tons over less scwab. Can also get toyo and cooper through them. Save 500 on a set of 285x75x17 toyo mt. 1400 at idaho retread 1900 at less Schwab both mount n balance.

You guys know how I like to play with exhaust
Finally have my 5" how I like it. Exhaust all scavenged off a kenworth w800 Ohhh man I'm really liking the 3rd gen wheels I have two sets. Thinking about powdercoating one set mat black or BMW silver. I might look into a set of street tires toyo used to have a m54 that was heavy duty street application. I've had great luck running m55s never tried the 54 would be cool to have a quite street tread and swap on mud terrains in October

I wont be doing injectors or a quad till tax time if then. Happy with the power fuel mileage the smarty is getting. My truck smokes with the factory tune and boost fooler so it very well could be injectors. Also need to do steering and swap ro all soft transmission lines. And my turbo has more oil residue and some shady play. It may decide to be priority

Does it pay to rebuild steering box?
Nice. I think I'll get one if mine ever quits

Turbo upgrades
Even my hy35 I've seen 35psi pur ov pulling grades. If I get on it it pegs 30easy on flat ground. Though even getting high psi numbers I think I'd make more power run cooler and smoke less with a hx40 youd truck might benefit to hx40 can be had for 300 bucks. Youl need a down pipe to use it. It has 4" outlet where the hy/hx 35 have a 3" I have my waste gate turb buckled closed doing gor me almost 10psi and it runs cooler pulling grades

47RE Upgrades
I'm prett stubborn about alot of things often takes years for me to try new things. Yes locking first will work well. But so will using the hearing available that you have try it even with it in 4wd. You probly already smoke the granny so what do you have to lose
-
47RE Upgrades
I agree have dynamic tune a valve body for your and toss it under your rig and drive. Yes never do locked up shifts. Do you really want first too lock??

Smarty s03 today :)
I put D to 2 and holy crap seems to pull harder all the way through. I think I'll go down to one or whatever factory is. D2 made it crisper quicker revving very noticable even under light throttle. Still smokes but manageable. If I have to dive in traffic from a stop I'll leave a black cloud.

Interesting new tires
Lol. I'd just assume never touch a bobcat with tires period. It's the day and age of tracks.
- Good morning
