Everything in the box of course. http://www.daimler-trucksnorthamerica.com/ looks like some big truck parts.

Have stock and TowMax kits ready to ship, StreetMax are available to order with a ship date of next week.
Little FYI, was informed the other day that one of our modded 15 61mm billet turbos has lived right at 20k miles tuned and deleted and towing everyday. For anyone with longevity concerns.

I know most of the tuning focus is on the 15's right now but any chance you'd know of anyone doing tuning for the retro fitted trucks? I'd love to see how much I could pick up with dedicated tuning for the 15 charger on my 12 truck over the tuning I'm running now. Thinking about maybe hitting the Dyno at Blackout in the Country next weekend to see what's she's doing now so I have something to compare different tuning to.

Literally just loaded gearhead tuning onto mine and I can't hold rail pressure to save my life.... I guess I'll be making a phone call. And I blow through the converter. I took videos. I emailed Matt back and told him I couldn't hold RAil pressure he'll tweak it and get back to me.

you consider 20k miles longevity? I average 25k a year...... I would hope that if I had one of those turbos that I would get a few years out of it... unless you ment that the 20k where hard miles...

Well I know they haven't been easy miles... Idling, towing. Numerous times to 240* oil temps. Towed 15k +- lbs several times through the West Virginia mountains. And several all nighters and numerous hours idling and hard accelerations. I could go on. No EGT sensor so who knows how high EGT's were at times. Been a damn good turbo IMO. And the truck tows and runs stronger by far.

I've been looking real hard at Gearhead tuning based on all the reviews I've read here and elsewhere and figured they'd get in on this setup. I'll have to get her out and see what a wot run gives me but I'm fairly confident under the few hard accels I've done that rail pressure is good at least with my Hot X tuning. I briefly monitored it today and just short blasts held 28.9k. If they can get you squared away, I'd definitely try em out. What's the converter deal? Sometimes I get a sensation that the trans is kinda slipping under hard throttle. An engine builder buddy of mine with a hopped up 7.3 rode with me one day and was surprised how fast the truck was with just a tune and exhaust (stock turbo) at the time compared to his truck but said it felt like the tranny was slipping and I chalked it up to the traction control. Least that's what it feels like to me but the light isn't coming on? Seems like the converter is locked according to the mm anyway, guess I'll monitor that too.

I guess nothing is hard compared to Dpf and egr equipped. To me constantly hauling isn't hard miles. Those trucks run the best. Maybe clarify what "hard" miles are....

I'm going to take a stab at it and say Morgan was referring to the truck having 20,000 miles on the turbo but still going....

Look, a couple months ago, no one had sh*t for miles on these. Just saying that they aren't a junk turbo. How long will it last? Idk. But to already have 20k on a tuned truck that tows most of the time.... That's a good start.
