I did the Raamat In my truck. Double thick on the firewall, floor, back of the cab, inner and outer door panels, and the insolite foam mat. New carpet kit, and I took the 3 1/2'' foam and cut it into chunks and stuffed it anywhere there was a hole in the dash ( this helped the most). I love the...
Lets like everything is coming together nicely. Can't wait to see it all together. I may have missed this earlier in the thread, but are you going with head studs? Seems there is a lot of mixed opinions on them.
I bought mine for $6k with 112,000 miles. My first and only truck at 16. Can't tell you how much I have put into it I forgot:rolleyes:. Not out of need more out of want. 8 years later and about to turn 205,000 miles. Cant put into works the bond I have with this truck.
I suggest lifting that side and spinning the tire to check/listen for bearing wear. Or while driving take a corner a little faster than normal putting the questioning side on the outside of the turn (turn left if its the right side) and see if you get any noise. I lost mine on a trip and every...
You are welcome to come crash at the residence any time. Always fun to talk truck or lend a hand, or have a hand lent to you. It's nice having fellow 6.5'ers in the area. We gotta stick together. Keep the updates coming it's looking great.
Bring your fat girl down and we'll make her look like...
I will have to get my hands on some of the Water wetter and try it then. Thanks.
Do you know what the stock setting on the wastegate is? Do you plan to open it up and give yourself greater boost control off the controller or leave it stock and just up your boost? What do you plan on running PSI...
Looking forward to seeing the results. Correct me if I am wrong but your boost controller is only going to work in the way of increasing boost correct?
Also, what does the water wetter stuff do?
Loving the setup and list you have put together. Looks like a good and fun amount of work and...
What brand and from where? I have burned out 6 starters in the 8 years owning my truck due to them being a crappy reman. They turn over very fast for about the first week. Past that point its already starting to die.
I had Heath tweak my tune when I put the HX-35 on. Special door to Heath back to door delivery from Paul. What a great guy. I had the previous flash by Heath and they tweaked it to dump more fuel low end and get my turbo singing sooner. I never ran the hx on the previous tune to give a before...
I'm very interested to see what you get when you turn the fuel up. That isn't too much coal at all. By comparison your coal and spool time on your turbo is a lot quicker than what I see in my setup. How does your truck respond when you try to spool up from cruising at a low RPM?
I love my HX35 but do notice that it runs a little high on cruising boost. A few pounds higher than what I would like. But After looking at how your truck moves I might want to go with the bigger hx40. I have also had an offer to try the ATT and I wonder if it would suit me better. My setup is...
How is the heat shield holding up on your turbo? still sticking? Do you get a turbo whistle at idle? I've heard a couple videos of trucks that have a slight whistle at idle with the CKO-holset variants and I have none. Just a low rumble. love the silicon 4'' intake as well. I'm seriously...
