From the factory, the 12 valvers, were never meant to see 30 psi of boost.

If you find urine on your pillow, you know where it came from!!!!!

I moved this to the 2nd gen section, because it sounded like he had a 2nd gen truck. OP, fill out your signature, so we can help you better.

If he doesn't alter his driving style, it won't matter what turbo he has on the truck IMHO!!!! Sounds like he lives at home and the parents pay for everything, or he has more $$$$ than brains!!!! Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different outcome??!!!:banghead::banghead:

The fellow to contact about the LP set-up I have is Richard Martin. He doesn't sell these systems any longer, but he's a fountain of knowledge. If you've got something in mind, contact him. He's a regular guy and will help you for sure. His website........http://www.glacierdieselpower.com

Not arguing here, just saying.................to get wallered out like that = neglect in my book. The NV5600 is darn near bullet proof. Heck, the sled pullers use these bad boys "stock" with the addition of a HD clutch and billet input shaft!!! And do hundreds of runs on top of it!!!!! There had to be some signs long before this............ for this to go "all at once" like that!!!! I feel for you, but I dunno??!!!:banghead:

If you've got the $$$$ throw some air bags under the front end also. I'm not really that worried about the axle, bearings etc., I'm more worried about the springs up front. Even with ballast in the bed.

Yeah, those rose tattoo's turn into "long stem roses" as you age!!!!!! Body area dependent of course!!!! Not body mutilation here!!! I do have a lot of freckles and moles though........does that count??!!!!

900 kilometers???!!!:evilgrin::lmao2: Wow, that's a lot drive time. I'll bet there's a lot of farts in that drivers seat cushion!!!

Just turned 129,000 on "Mighty Whitey" on Wednesday. Today she's at 129,231 when I pulled in the drive. I'm leaving for North Dakota next Friday. I'll give y'all the updates when I get back from that trip. Can't wait!!! That's usually about a 2500-3000 mile trip.............Mike, I'm catching up to you!!!!!:cool:

Drop your speed to 65mph or even down to 60mph will yield you a HUGE increase in mileage. Go easy on the go pedal starting out........pretend there's a raw egg under it that you don't want to break. Air you tires up.........I run my 04.5 at 70psi at all 4 corners. Don't go crazy aggressive on tire tread............do you really need mud tires on that "urban assault vehicle" that leaves the black top 2-3 times a year???? Make sure your brakes aren't dragging and your bearings are sound. Have the front end aligned. I'll stop there, otherwise no one else will post here.With my 04.5, the year round average is 550-600+/- miles per tank..........sometimes as much as 3/4's of that is towing my work trailer. In the warm summer months, I average usually around 19mpg in combo driving around suburbia. Now that it's getting a bit cooler it's dropped to 18ish. In the winter, it'll be 14-16mpg in combo trailer towing/empty. I set a mileage and mpg record for my truck just over a month and a half ago.........................23+mpg and 727 miles on one tank of fuel. It was hotter than (insert colorful metaphor) but my truck is decidedly "warm blooded"!!!!You have to "drive" for mileage. On that 100 mile trip, are you really needing to drive 80mph to get there 15 minutes faster than if you drove 65mph???? It's a lifestyle thing. Sure, I can, and occasionally drive fast down the interstates. But for me, that's "stressful". I'd much rather set the cruise at 65mph and let all the assholes pass me. For me it works...........some folks can't/won't do it!!!

So you hiked "Down Hill"?????? Usually that's easy for me..............or are you one of the folks that has their "poles" reversed?????:lmao2:

That's all for today boys and girls of the adventures of our fanatical hero.............Stay tuned for the next post of "The Anal-Retentive Dodge-Cummins Owner" staring AH64ID!!!:hyper:Sorry, couldn't help it!!!!! I got the hyphen in there this time though!!!:lmao2:

Empty in my 04.5, I usually take off in 2nd gear, unless I'm faced uphill. ISX, with my SouthBend OFE, I find it easier to almost just dump the clutch with no go pedal and go from there. I cannot ride this bad boy unless it's the first start up in the AM. Try it like that for a while, and you'll get used to it, and it'll be much less wear on the clutch in the long run!!!

Here's food for thought ISX..............a flowing liquid will cool an object faster than just immersing said object in the liquid. Same thing goes for "air"........hence, we have "wind chill"!!! When I train my dog in hot weather I'm always looking for heat stress. If that's happens, they say to keep pouring water over the dog, or put him in flowing water. It's all about heat transfer gradients. The greater the difference in temps between two objects, the faster the heat/cold transfer. Doesn't matter if it's biological tissue or iron or aluminum etc.

Is this a 2nd or 3rd generation truck???? Fill out your signature so we know what you've got. If it's a 2nd gen, I'll move this to the proper forum for more exposure.

You didn't stick that bad boy on the grill did you Mike??!!! Wow, that's nasty looking!!

Where are the skinny girls w/fake boobs in bikinis in the advertisements????:smart: They look good though......don't they!!

I get it now!!!

Wanna let the rest of in on this secret??!!!

I couldn't help it............Would you happen to be related to that old character on SNL called, "The Anal Retentive Chef"???!!!:lmao2::lol:

The Everstarts that I bought, I believe were made by Excide Tech. You'll have a hard time convincing me that the WallyWorld Excide batteries are "cheaper" made than those at other stores. The only difference I can see visually is the color scheme. WallyWorld probabaly buys so many at a time that they get a good deal on them and they can therefore sell them for less than others. I've got no problems with that........it's good business if you can afford to store inventory that long!!! Suck it up, swallow your "pride" and got to WallyWorld. This if from a guy that spends a lot of time hunting in North Dakota, Wisconsin etc.

I bought a pair of Everstart Maxx's last Dec. I wrote a thread about it here. Can't beat the price, and WallyWorlds are everywhere if I need a replacement.

Do you have a "flat ditch", or a "drop off" that you could drive over enough with some make-shift ramps, to give you the clearance Clarence to get that bad boy outta there???!!!

Dry weight for the NV5600 is almost 400lbs. Most floor jacks will do that easily, but you've got no clearance Clarence!!!! Easier to put her on the lift and do it!!! Even if you have to pay for it!!
