I've put close to 200 miles on the build since Monday when I officially got her back. Ran H&S can tunes up until last night- uploaded my ******** tunes . Shifting is night and day difference especially in 5th gear before the tc locks, and post lock (hybrid tune). The motor makes some solid power down low and it runs smoother than I ever anticipated. Not really taking engine speed past 2k- 2.5k rpms until my first oil change. I have a short commute to work- 23 miles one way, so its going to take a month or so to get a good initial break in. Only regret I'm having is not getting the AD2 165 4g for the quiet operation. I'll post some more info as the break in process continues. If any of you have any good info on things that pertain to break in, things like that - chime in.

Not that anyone cares...

1st oil / filter change today. No shiny crap in the 2000mile old fluid. Kept a close eye on the draining, kept a rag close by to sample the oil during- found nothing. Filter was equally clean. Pleased with all that naturally.

On the other hand, went back to H&S tunes, better fuel mileage, and power down low, better shifting down low. Had too much flare btwn 1st-2nd, 2nd-3rd with the other tuning around 1500 rpm +/- . Waiting for updated tunes, and will be running them full time, I like the trans tunes better, seems to agree more with my set up , give or take.

I'll post back when I get it all sorted out.

Sweet build sir. Get to climbing some more poles so we can get some more air and fuel to put those rods to the test.

That's what I'm talking about buddy. You'll be pulling the cab soon.

Cab is off. Bigger atmo going in. Pics to come. Rudy's is sneaking up....

Took a new turbo off a member's hands.

Couple shots, nothing special. New atmo on the ground, went with the RCD 75/77 atmo- it will be paired up with my current ede 59hp turbo. Upgraded from my ede tow power plus 72atmo. Pretty sweet duramax powered Yukon in background. Waiting on some overnight parts from No Limit to couple the increased snout diameter, and she'll be ready to destroy some toyos. No Limit once again gave me outstanding customer service.

Almost ready.

Pretty impressive imo that I can call a company(in California) at 1:30est
yesterday, place my order and it arrive before 10am back in NC. No Limit ftw.

The Go Pro is itching to come out again, trust me.

Got my truck back home, and it was acting funny. Turns out the vgt actuator **** the bed ( wouldn't cycle , move etc...). So it's back under the knife to get things squared away. Probably have her back on the road in a few days- easy fix. But she was definitely pulling harder up top when both were lit. Should have a few new YouTube vids posted soon.
