What a nice truck.

So far i have 608 miles on the drive line and like 60 of that on the tires lol. I love the super 60 its wastegated which is nice the tune is great rides smooth no vibrations other than you can tell its a 3500 lol i got upgrade battery cables and a catch can on my next order im very happy with myself and thanks to everyone who helped me i also have zero blowby now since the new rings seated and valve seals which i did when i started this project. I still have a very very slight haze at idle out exhaust that apparently only a led flashlight shows lol.

Finally installed the headlight relay harness to keep the lowbeams on when hi beams are on

Ya know, with the rings seated it’s a perfect time for a 0-60 run....
