Something to consider is the more blades the wheel has, the lower the efficiency will be at higher boost levels.  

Makes sense, but this isn't a high hp build I just want a bit more spool and better mileage. I may have a dually but I don't use those 3.53s to pull anything. She spent 14yrs pulling horse trailers everywhere and in pastures and crap, she deserves a break!

Hooray for getting southern trucks! My 1999 is completely rust free, was a Texas truck its whole life but man the dash was in bad condition when I picked it up. That sun beats them to hell. 

I'll trade my wire brush, compressed air, corroded brake lines, and 24 cans of rusteoleum flat black any day for a hashed out dash.

I'm fighting to keep the rust at bay. So far I'm holding my own.

 

You need to hush. You posted an under carriage picture a little bit ago that made me go "Dammit Bill." You have nothing. Trust me on that!

 

I was embarrassed to post the before picture due to the rust. Although the guys at the shop said it's not bad compared to what is brought in. 

 

The old owner came in whom I have not seen in a while came in the other day. He said "Another white one, like your first. Looks great."

 

I replied "Yeah from 5 feet away." 

 

He said "I cant put my fist through the fender so you did well."

 

I think that made me feel better.

Don't feel bad, I can put a fist in both of my cab corners

I’ve had the roof and hood painted since my earlier posting of a photo.  The rest of the body has just has a few paint chips,  but the clear coat is still good. 

As usual, no good deed goes unpunished.  While the truck was in the shop, I received a phone call saying, “Hey, we went to move your truck this morning and there is no power steering or power brakes”.  Well, that was great news.  So, after the truck was painted I picked it up with my flatbed trailer.  At least it was towed by another Dodge Cummins.  I replaced the power steering pump the next day  and now the truck is back to work again

the bed on mine is starting to rust at the wheel wells outer lip.  eventually ill flatbed it and have a slide in camper on it.

 

luckily the cab is still good.

 

Sound like someone needs to wash their truck more. I don't mean the paint. I mean get under the bed skirts and get the standing mud out of there. Any where that mud can collect and hold moisture / salt is bad deal. Even in the dead of winter I was out there with my power washer and rinsing tons of salt off and get the mud out of fender tops. Sloppy cold job but its well worth it when you still have rust free truck in salt country.
