we'll start in the beginning. the day i bought my truck. i had been into diesels for a long time before i actually got one. i had been rockin the 96 short wide chevy until then...
here she is on the day we met.. the goofy guy in the overalls is my old man, dont hate. lol
shortly after that added the bushwacker pocket style fender flares and nfab steps and de-badged..
ran her just like that until 36,000 mi and then started the warranty voiding mods
i added an h&s mini maxx which adds up to 175hp and an H&S trans tune to help that poor 68rfe hold up a little longer. i also added a flo-pro 5" DPF delete exhaust, an S&B cold air intake, and a sinister EGR/ cooler delete kit and arp head studs. and 1 new injector in #5 courtesy of my drunk azz hitting it with a torque wrench while putting in the head studs... that turned out to be a $600 boo boo.
the i got some isspro EV2 pillar guages to keep an eye on some things the mini maxx cant watch..
then the smaller stuff. blue LED dome lights from superbrightleds.com and some cover king neoprene seat covers from dodge.. i wanna stop and talk a minute about these covers, all i can say about them is GREAT! perfect fit and tough as hell! it takes talent to put them on but once they are, the fit is absolutely awesome.. also got some black bezeled headlights off ebay and ... yeah pretty shotty DONT waste your money. i ended up putting my stockers back in..
thats all ive got so far for the actual truck build part of this thread. plans for the future are a 3 piece manifold and industrial injection twin turbos, snow water/meth injection, II arson3 CP3 kit, 150hp injectors, suncoast OM3GA 68rfe trans with triple disk converter and billet flexplate, air dogII fuel pump, GDP ladder bars, take the lift off and put it down on some 35s, and a full GDP intake manifold system. and a AFE bladerunner intercooler.. my goal is a RELIABLE 750hp daily driver..
its slow goin but its gonna happen!
