    Suspension

    Good input thanks! So is there anyone out there making drop coils for the front that are good? Or is it back to the good oil trimming a few off and testing it. I ask because id love to drive my truck in all the nice new parking garages the city built. Its oem suspension on 35s but my cab lights...

    Suspension

    I'm sure this topic has been absolutely battered before. I have a certain brand suspension ready to go on the truck BUT, I'm heavily considering OUO instead and just selling the other stuff. Just want a simple poll on what everyone runs and how they feel about their setup! Still have not put on...

    Stock bottom end life with big vgt turbo

    This is a 2015. Who would you recommend for tuning?. From what i understand tuning is critical. decent tuning will make it scatter in a handful of pulls but good tuning will keep it alive for close to 100 passes at the strip yes?

    Stock bottom end life with big vgt turbo

    So i finally pulled the trigger on a Midwest diesel &auto 6868 VGT turbo (only turbo they had in stock) with a RCD 10mm stroker pump as well as supporting mods. I plan to push around 650whp. Anyone have experience with longevity from the engine and trans at that power (assuming decent tuning) i...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    Without the revised tune the truck did 440whp. So at sea level it would have done the same 465-475whp. Now im sure if you really spun the turbo hard at sea level to make 33-34psi it might make 500whp but i have not seen a single "custom" tune company sell it like that. At the cost of turbo...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    The dragstrip and dyno i run on are both 3700feet. The day i spent dynoing the truck it was about 74degree out and they day i ran it was 78. I had 2/3 companies revise the tunes for higher elevation so currently max boost is 31psi at fuel is a little more then a light haze (if that makes sense)...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    Ive had a hard time even cracking even 480whp with the hottest tuning offered by 3 companies, I dont think a 15 pump or 15 turbo can do more then 500whp. ETs and MPH in 1/4 line up with my 474whp. Thats also using exact vehicle weight

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    Personally never liked the fleece turbos on cummins stuff. They had a high failure rate. Same with Aurora....Honestly any crap from ATS. Well i guess ive decided to just pick one of those two turbos and switching up to an RCD pump. Looking like i might have to change tuning from T*r*n*t....They...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    Well i suppose i will do some more research and maybe go find a core 6r to take apart. And i overbuild everything, I know for a fact im not gonna be happy with this truck just making 650whp, I have a second engine in the shed im gonna machine up and build. I said id be happy with 1 turbo on my...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    Since when has the program become ignoring the transmissions in builds? I mean let's say down the road I decide to build a new engine for the truck and take the power up in the 4 digits, Do all the professionals just slap a new converter, shafts and clutches in these to make them live for 150k...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    Respectfully i disagree. If a built transmission is shifting like a stock one then they did not build it right. And in years of building older models i have never seen good things come from a transmission running 230-250. I mean for example, Ford says to do a fluid change every 140k miles. Mine...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    I have always heard nasty stuff with II, We used to use a lot of their products on Cummins and D-max builds and it was always sub par.

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    Right now im at 96k miles on my 15 turbo and pump with about 82k of them being ran with hot tuning from various companies. No failure yet but id wager its about time.

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    Even with all the tuning ive tried my shifts are always kinda soft. 3-4 4-5 shfit flare under WOT. And 1-2 2-3 are kinda laggy, you can feel it disengage and re engage the shifts. Then theres the trans temps. even with an aftermarket cooler a hard pass down the strip it still sees 215-230 temps...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    We are talking about the MP6464-10 right? And hows the spool on those compared to a factory 15 with tuning? It seems the streetmax is no longer produced and was replaced by the MP6464-10 And MP6668-10 but the MP6668-10 Shouldnt be ran on a stock bottom end

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    I see a lot of votes for MWDP streetmax turbos. Are they that good? Ive kinda already invested in the other stuff, Do you guys not recommend that stuff because its useless and doesnt do anything for these trucks or because its badly designed and fails? Also scrap the injectors, There's 0...

    Advice on VGT turbo upgrade

    I have full PMF suspension at the powder coating shop :) I've been eying a precision converter but i have an SPE valve body on order. After calling around more im really digging that 64/68 offered by AP.
