Sweet truck!
I believe I'm speaking for most of us when I say we want some videos! Idle exhaust sound, revving, and take us for a ride!

 

[Uncle Ben]

Thanks for the kind words. I’ll see if I can post up a few videos this summer. I’d like to take it to the track and do a few 1/4mile passes, then install the procharger and see how much it’s improved.

I also have to wire in some gauges. I got a wideband air fuel gauge, boost gauge and another gauge I can’t recall. LOL

I would like to see some time sheets before and after. Have you done anything to the rear end, and what ratio you running.

New MPFI spider injectors installed, next fuel pump and 411ecu, then it’s pro charger time!

Let us know how you like the new injectors. Been think about replacing mine for some time now, but I just rebuilt my diff, so that is a ways down the list.

 

[Uncle Ben]

As soon as I make a few passes I’ll post up my slips.

Not sure what rear end ratio is. I’m sure I’ll look into it when I need help hooking up, but as it stands now I don’t need any extra grip from a LSD.

After installing the injectors the truck seemed a bit quieter. Maybe slightly improved throttle response.

I know a guy that can run your VIN through this decoder...
It'll tell you your gear ratio and what not.
He doesn't charge a thing, either...

 

[1ton-o-fun]

The pictures of your truck are making me consider repainting mine white...
Great looking truck!

Very clean and nice truck! I like the subtle changes you made to make it unique.

I would put some 1/4" hardware cloth over that intercooler scoop. If it were a little more vertical I'd use some nomex honeycomb.
