I will for sure! Hopefully this thread gets some traction. I just don't wanna go start replacing things that don't necessarily need to replaced right now since I am not made of money hahaha

Hello all! So, I'm having suspension issues with the truck and really need them figured out. truck shakes at highway cruising speeds. It will smooth out if I move the wheel slightly (with the slack) and it'll get smoother and not be shaking. It's not death wobble like you see on YouTube but it is definitely annoying and NOT correct lol. I think tires may just need to be balanced and a good alignment. Front driver tire is also a weird wear (mud tires, each tread is up and down alternating, planning to get new wheels soon). Only thing I know that has been done to the truck suspension wise is a leveling kit. To the next problem, when turning at slow speeds (parking lot speeds) the truck vibrates badly, more so when turning right. Also, when coming to a stop from like 5mph zone down to 0 it'll grind and rattle, even without brake engaged and the shake will be felt in all 3 pedals. I'm thinking wheel bearings? Rotors and all that I believe were replaced by P/O but not sure how good of a job they did due to other work on the truck.... Last thing is presumable powertrain related but I hear a noise right in the bellhousing... Doesn't sound like a deep knock like a beginning rod knock but it sounded the same as a video I found online and the guy said it was his flexplate being loose/cracked. They sounded almost identical but I have a flywheel due to it being a manual. Truck has a South Bend dual disc setup and the noise stays even with clutch pedal pressed. I'm not sure if the P/O replaced the flywheel or if it has 300k on it like the truck has or he did replace it and maybe didn't torque the bolts correctly. Any and all suggestions is welcome! Whether it is for all 3 problems or just the one! Edit: Truck supposedly had all 4 ball joints replaced, calipers and rotors, front shocks at 300k, at 319k now. Thank you Dylan.

Yes but his is brand new. I'm not sure of the actual condition of my current turbos. Plus, I bought the truck with them so I'm not concerned about trying to get money out of it. I just want it running better tbh. He's also gonna be sending both of my turbos out to get rebuilt if we do make the trade.

What about that 64mm I mentioned earlier that a guy where I'm located was down to trade setups for? I'd do the 7x0.10 injectors and a standard quad box

Yeah when I texted the previous owner the other day that was the setup he told me. Not sure why in the ad it listed an s366 on there. Maybe that was a standalone turbo before he did the twins? I'll check to see if I can pull the S/N's off both turbos and find out what exactly they are because I need to get this truck sorted out asap..

Well **** then I wonder if it's just the tuner that's giving me most of my issues. We sprayed soapy water down on all boots and what not and the only leaks we found were on the intake horn (custom, weld had 2 holes in it ) and proper bolts weren't used to bolt it to the grid delete block. Then, there was another leak near cylinder 4 or 5 on the intake plate. I'm guessing the gasket may have blown or it's not torqued down. Maybe its warped or over-torqued. The guy with the 64mm turbo was building boost around 1700rpm and mine don't build til like 21-2200. He was also able to rev it and build some boost. I don't get anything. Should I try to tune the 4k down super low on fueling side and see if that makes me build boost earlier and help the engine not bog down in the lower rpm's? Also, I found out it's not a stock turbo so not an hx35. Previous owner I texted the other day and he told me the 2nd turbo is a 364.5/475. The other turbo is an s366. My apologies for not mentioning this new information earlier.

Well, I don't plan on trying to push 700hp or anything nor do I tow so I really don't need the twins. They also spool up real late but part of that may be due to boost leaks on the manifold plate as well as the custom intake elbow.. Highest PSI I've seen was like 48 but even then I don't wanna be pushing that often or even over that if solving those leaks makes a ton more boost.. I don't have the money to go pay for someone to replace a head gasket. I think a single that is above stock would suit my needs and spool up quicker once I get the intake issues sorted out.

So I think i'm gonna go with a regular Quad Adrenaline rather than the 4k or the guy's smarty mm3 since I'd have to shell out money to re vin it and also get new tunes. I also am probably gonna trade him for his turbo setup which is the BW 64/73.5/14 turbo. With a regular quad tuned correctly and that turbo do you think I'd be good with my 225 DAP injectors? I won't be going to 4.10's anytime in the future ( probably honestly won't ever) and no plans to lift the truck either.

yeah so he has 125s and it cleans up smoke pretty quick with his setup although he lost a lift pump so the truck loses power after a short time. I currently have either 200's or 225 DAP injectors. Would that be too much if I went with the 64 and smarty mm3? And would I be happy with the Smarty? I know it doesn't wiretap but if I can still have power and much better MPG's along with less smoke then I'd keep those injectors since they're only a year old maybe. Also, I have 35s on the truck that are pretty new. I like the look in all honesty and personally not sure I'd like the look with a more stock tire size lol. Definitely won't be going bigger nor lifting the truck. It sits high enough stock and leveled and I love the look.

Just saw your post today MoparMan and had to subscribe since I think this site will definitely come in handy in the future. So, could you give me some input from my new possible idea for the truck? So, I'm wanting mainly good mpg's, hoping to break 20+ on the freeway at 55-65 but also have power if I wanna have fun and pull on the freeway or something. So, I have a guy who I've been talking to and his goals require twins and I think my goals would be possible with his setup. We're thinking of trading over everything. He has a damn near new 64/73.5/14 and a smarty mm3 with tunes for 125s and that turbo. I currently have big injectors and would be downgrading for sure regardless but I'm wondering if I'll get what I desire out of the truck with the Smarty (no wiretap), smaller injectors, and a single 64mm turbo. Idc about cost of my setup vs his since I bought hte truck with it all. I just want it to stop smoking and I really don't need the huge injectors, twins, and a adren 4k. I need this truck to last. If possible, let me know what you think and if my goals will be achievable and if I should do this. Also found out 1 possible big issue with the smoke.. At least the insane excessive smoke. I found like 4 boost leaks. 3 spots on the custom intake horn (yeah I know stupid to do custom but I didn't build the truck) and then the manifold plate has a leak or 2.

Hello all. So thew truck runs pretty good but I know it's not at it'd potential. I want it to not smoke as much and tune it properly so if I'm driving nicely I can get good mpg but then have power when wanted or needed. Just bought it about 3 weeks ago. Here are the upgrades: stock turbo compounded with a bw s366 225 DAP injectors Hot Rod VP44 Air Dog 200 110# valve springs .93 fuel connecting tubes 5inch turbo back exhaust Quadzilla 4k Any and all suggestions are welcomed. At WOT this thing makes an insane amount of smoke even when its making boost. I don't think it makes enough boost though as it should and it also doesn't start making boost til like 21-2200 rpms... May be a boost leak on a boot as well. I'm thinking of starting with a new programmer that isn't a damn 4k.. since the fuel stretch by default is twice the max a regular quad can do. I also think the valves may need to be adjusted as I hear a high pitched rattling at idle.
