If you were asking me, the intercooler actually made my truck work way better down low. I very rarely need to turn the thing 3k any more.

As soon as I get a hand shaker installed I won't need to turn 3k anymore.

1. 3 speed Brownie
2. Rodney Red Radiator/e fan conversion
3. Turbo
4. Air ride seat/ auto leveling air suspension/ onboard air system
5. Rear seat air conditioning
6. 150 gal bed tank ( couldn't live without on long trips;Sweet

One mod that I didn't do but came on the truck is something I simply wouldn't want to have the truck without ,and that's the Western Hauler Bed. Aside from being the handiest thing around for loading anything, the parking attendents at the airport always think it's a tow truck and dont' charge me anything when I have to go pickup my wife returning from business trips :rotflmao

Really sweet setup! Nice list of mods. Do you have any pics of your truck and mods anywhere,..?
You have made the most effort than anyone here keeping your truck cool, One thing I think that is the best mods you can do cause if it aint cool, you cant use the power!;Sweet

I know, I know. I just got it back to the house late last night, and it's super bowl Sunday, s that buys me some time for sure.

It looks like a pretty descent job was done installing it, I will snap some Ipad pics, and load them up soon.

I was actually asking diesel giant, but you've done it too? I guess I need to research this stuff a little more.

You must be registered for see images attach


It certainly has more usable rpm now:D I wouldn't push it so hard if I didn't think it could handle it. Course that might come around to bite me. Oil sample says everthing is perfectly normal.

she's falling on her face with just 100hp @ 3650 though dieselgiant.your just loosing hp the higher you rev 'er.
let up on the skinny going uphill so she reads 3k,and you'll gain speed.:D
delta makes a cam to place her power higher up if you like to make her talk.
