You don't know there is more power on the table. What Justin said is simply a guess based on limited data. Not every truck is the exact same and even the same truck side by side will run different. Did you consider track temps, air pressure, engine temp...blah blah blah blah. Bottom line is you have a basically stock truck with a tune that you have very limited track time behind to make a judgment call on the tune that has been provided to you. By the way the best bang for the buck by far is a converter. The SS trucks are pigs and it takes some RPMs to get them out of the hole. Go out and get some real seat time to figure out what the truck likes. My guess is a few trips to the track in good weather and you learning how to drive the truck down the track the way it wants to be driven will yield better results.

you don't ever ship them together. The converter sitting in the unit bouncing around will ruin the pump bushing and possibly mare the hell out of the hub.

Welcome... just a few things AOD is a ford term, and LS2 rods are the same rods that are in your 5.3L currently.

If you need a set of pen magnets I think I have my set back from Brian. I also have a comp adjustable push rod tool if you need one.

Did you actually cut it? I still see a good bit of peel and urethane wave. Either way it still looks good.

Thanks man. Doors will be painted early next week, Then I'm focused on getting the cab, door, and grille mated back to the chassis. I'm saving the bed for last. Yeah man I got F^&*ed pretty bad on this interior deal. Wasted a bunch of time and energy. The search continues.

I had a guy lined out with a agreed time line and price that was nailed down 3 weeks ago. Our budget was and is drained so I sold a mutual fund to afford this interior because this has become a huge part of our life and a very very important thing to do for her father. I have been working 16 hour days the last 3 weeks to get the cab and doors painted and on the chassis so I could take it to him by the 2nd week in August to do the interior. Earlier tonight I had an odd feeling and sent him a text just to make sure we were still good to go on the delivery of our truck to his shop. He informed me that he couldn't take in anything until November.....WTF? Here is the biggest issue with that. Our wedding is November 21st. Not a snowballs chance in hell of him finishing it by then. So here is where I sit. I have a custom made seat frame that will be here next week. I have several sheets of aluminum that I bought for the interior guy to use that was at his request. What I need: Someone to execute the job that I can trust and won't rip my head off on the price. Seat upholstered (I already have the simple design) Door panels made and upholstered (I have this design also) Carpet Kick panels headliner rear cab surround I don't want or need any super fancy designs in anything. Just nice crisp clean work. I understand this might be asking a lot of someone, but I assure you the impact that you will have in our lives and our families lives will be HUGE. Since you guys haven;t seen the truck in a good while. Here are a few teaser pictures. Chassis is all painted and back together. Grille and Cab are also painted Color sanded and soaking up some UV to cure the clear before buffing

Good to hear.

Nice wheels man.. they work well with the truck. Guys look closely at the first pic above the bottom body line on the door.... Forgot to ask. How are those lights holding up?

Is this only happening after it gets to full operating temp?

Just so you know it isn't just a simple box, it isn't just a simple tank either. It is a pressurized surge tank. It isn't like a overflow tank you often see. about 600-700 depending on what all you want. People always say "OH MY GOD" , but we dont use jigs and everything is built to fit. We have about 25ish hours in total in that tank which includes multiple fitments in a 99-07 truck to make damn sure it clears anything and everything. We normally charge 35/hr for fab work which is cheaper than anyone else you are going to find anywhere... well at least people that can delivery what they promise. One of the members above can comment on that. His first tank he had made was complete junk. I could have made a better tank with cardboard and epoxy.

Need pictures of the bed.

meaning people are welding stainless material with mild steel wire...

If you are remotely serious PM me. Just a FYI you can pop the cap and look at the level with the inside tube that is there as part of the baffle and doubles as the full level.

None unless you have several of these to spend.

I did everything except weld it. I was actually kinda pissed I walked into the shop Monday morning and it was sitting on the frame table all welded. George got bored of smoking cigs and drinking Mt Dew he decided to actually do something. It just so happens he finished my damn project!

Thats cool.

Cool deal. I've seen too many using stainless and welding with ER70S-6... makes me want to slap them

EDIT* PM Sent

Mig welding? Which wire?

Cool, looks to be the flowmaster design.

Truck has Wilwoods on it, and yes it would be nice to show them a bit.

Foose is coming off the list. I just got the build cost back from the manufacturer and for 15" wheels they want just over 3,000.00. That isnt going to happen!

FP2002 Spies Hecker Black. I have the paint waiting. It is the deepest possible black you can find and has blue toners in it. It makes Onyx Black look like muddy water.
