Been looking for a dd for awhile now and finally talked my buddy into selling me his "beater". Truck is a 97 single cab 5 speed dually with 170,000 miles and the XL package. It is bone stock except the muffler has been cut off but they left the cat:wtf:. It runs and drives great except for the severe lack of power. Never had an OBS other then an idi and I think it had more power then this one.
Plans are:
- Fix oil leak. I think it's turbo o rings. I got the turbo and hpop oring kit here. ( thanks Paul)
- trash the stock air box. 6637 is on the way. ( thanks Paul)
- 4" mbrp with 3" downpipe is also on the way. ( thanks doug@gogo)
- TS 6 position with some wildman tunes. Probably be next week on that.
- I also ordered chrome grille and headlight bezels as well as new taillights and mirror assemblys from eBay.
- buddy of mine had a brand new never open set of clear headlights he gave me.
- gonna do clear cab and fender lights as well.
- DIY intercooler
- electric fuel system. Probably from Marty
- 19.5s if I can find a good deal on some
- performance parts will come in time slowly but surely.
Here is some pics.
