New parts next week.... 

under warranty?????

:crackup::rollin:

 

could you see the look on the service managers face! :P

 

Well guys all I can say, I'd rather not comment..... :wtf:

 

the funny thing is that if he still has the stock intake on it, he could send it in looking completely stock.

 

Zippy right, it looks totally stock, but it sounded like a funny car when I pulled it into the dealer service isle..... :thumbs:

Update......

 

Just got the truck back, major transfer case work done.

 

Transmission, trashed....Ordered new one....4L65Evil :devil: ......I'll post more once I've blessed it.......

 

Now the big question....Should I do nitrous or a blower (ATI D1SC)?

 

If I do nitrous I don’t need to change anything pistons/cam...currently around 11:1 compression...Good to go, just have 6 15# bottles in the bed...

 

If I do a big ass blower I'll need to change the pistons and maybe cam and some other stuff to handle 15+psi.........

 

What to do..............

I don't think a D1SC would be enough blower for that motor. Maybe an F-1...

 

I think a trick progressive nitrous setup would be awesome. Multiple bottles in the bed with 2 or 3 feed lines. First stage for launch and shifts... second stage for the meat of the powerband... optional third stage for all out drag racing. Maybe even one of those fancy pulsed solenoids and controller for a ramped nitrous apply...

:D:D:devil::devil:

 

So did they replace the t-case? I didn't think there were many servicable parts in there...

i'd say go with a direct port system that is programmable. hellbents10 uses that on his grandpa's truck and it works out very nicely.

 

 

Direct port with a progressive gets my vote.

 

Nitrous junky.

 

How about some suggestions..... :dunno:
