Since i dropped off the truck to get dyno tuned the day I flew out for my deployment to afghanistan. I havent had a chance to drive it with the turbo hooked up. One issue I have had with the truck since day one is getting it to hook. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I plan on at least when i go to drag race it unbolting the end links from the sway bar. and see if it will bring the front end up a little faster. I know i need to get some dbl adjustable shocks and start playing with them. I also plan on doing some aero mods. Making a belly pan a wing and a contoured bed cover.

Beautiful job and like Ron said thank you for serving. I know you have a lot more power than mine but I could not get it to hook until I put in some cal trac bars and they also helped out tremendously with pinion angle adjustment. I'm running t56 w 2.66 1st gear and 4.88 gears so my drive shaft is spinning like crazy and I had a lot of vibration. It now hooks up nice especially if I have a few tool bags in the rear. No more wheel hop, drive shaft use to hit cab when I woul punch it. no more. So if you have the space cal tracs maybe your ticket. By the way like all you done to your truck but do you really drink Pepsi :?

My kinda guy

Awesome truck and drink Pepsi. Win.

Interesting that you're running that large of a turbo as a remote mount. usually they are quite a bit smaller (I know mine is) but hey, if it works, who cares.

EDIT: Just took another look at the dyno chart. That thing just never stops pulling it looks like.
