Welcome to oilburners. Nice to know another person from the northern Nevada area.
I think the biggest advantage is ascetics but i can see with the r&d rails there should be less vibrations and movement disturbing the orings,...
This is the wastegate I'm currently using, it allows for different springs to be installed depending on what boost you want to see....
I pulled the bumper off to finish welding it but here is some more pictures of it.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]I'll get more pictures of it on the...
I have an aftermarket wastegate currently set to open at 25psi. I also have a GTX3582 ball bearing turbo from Wes helping with boost as well.
Around 20-25psi with a 110cc pump
So far, when I go up grades, I can hold steady at 75 @ 900-1000 but if I accelerate up the grade it quickly heats up over 1400. I'm not quite sure...
The only good way to make these trucks faster is to add a turbo and tune the fuel to match the extra air.

I would recommend upgrading the lift pump at the same time as replacing the vp44. Doing so will.make the replacement pump last longer. The stock...
If I had go guess I would say the vp44 pump is likely going out
I think the tax exempt truck diesel being referred to here is likely exempt from an additional tax added on top of the tax difference between dyed...
[ATTACH] I'm not sure why the #2 diesel is more expensive at your location but they should be the same but the auto diesel is slower.
Rtv. I think I used too thin of a layer when I put it together
I just got done rebuilding the engine, installing it and getting it buttoned up. Its most likely a mistake on my part leading to the leak on the front
That is where it is leaking. This would probably work much better
I had tried this and it didn't work unfortunately
When they switched from r12 to r134a, the compressor and lines also changed slightly. Im pretty sure the fittings to the compressor is different...
Upon further inspection it now appears to not be leaking at the front main but the oil pan behind the harmonic balancer. Is there any way to...
