Truck is rolling. Still need to mount up the traction bars before I really push down on the go pedal but things are great up to 40pdi so far.

Diamond back lyfe??? Looks good!!

Diamond back lyfe???

I'll get to washing another day. Not concerned with washing yet. Also need to get the drivers side billet badge installed along with the traction bars, got busy with Matt's triple kit today. Wheels need a good polish and sealer this winter and maybe next year a freshening up on the paint and a cervini hood. Mud flaps and running boards are staying on even though they hurt the look of the truck but they save the paint during sled season. Going to polish the sled deck as well. Might get JD to do some headlights for me but I'll see how the pocket book is doing after the move. Some pics of the new house and shop.

The house.

The view, the yard extends over the bank as well.

Inside the shop, the cars aren't mine but the hoists stay.

Traction bars are on finally. Truck rides amazing. Shifts are smooth and firm. Now to finish up the small details like gauge power and washer bottle install. Also need to figure out why the truck is stuck in 4x4.

I have the same problem on an 08 I have here. Just haven't had time to dig into it.

Got the gauges wired up and a bunch of smalll things finished as well. Took the wife for a rip. 80pai of boost and 90psi of ebp. Egts maxing at 1620degree, due to defuel set to low. Truck pulls hard and runs clean. No leaks so far. Now to dial in the gates as they are running on 40lb springs and nothing else. So far the truck is great. Hopefully with time it will get better and better.
