Holy crap did they have to grind the pad down to put it in? Or did they just let it eat the rotor also?

Hopefully not but we will see. It could have been that way since before dan owned the truck.

It ate the rotor the picture of the pad on the tailgate was the pad on the other side of the rotor.

Had my dunes polished and ceramic coated and mounted a set of 35/12.5r18 nitto dura grapplers since I had such good luck with my 33/13.5’s (I put 45,000 miles on them and they are only half worn).

This is also happening.

I had a spair set of factory housings so I'm going to retrofit a set of Baja Designs XL80 driving lights in. The hard part is going to be controlling the hi/lo feature since it is backwards on the Baja Design lights as in when you first turn the lights on they are at 100% and then you can switch them to 50%. We'll see...

I would have liked to try these out but there is no way they would fit.

Dear cab pullers. Please be considerate in your fastener placement (I.e, positioning an allen screw with the head facing up into the firewall in a way that there is no possible way to get to it without pulling the cab). Thank you......

Took me 2 hours to figure out how to remove the wastegate on the Harley truck since all the bolts for the clamps pointed straight up.

Jonnydime · Jan 18, 2018

After pulling the turbos on the Harley truck I have come to the conclusion that I never want to pull factory style turbos ever again. So Im going to go the single route for the time being. I'm thinking mpd pedestal with a 64-68mm Precision, (I may get ambitious and build my own kit). My first thought was 6466 precision then Shane mentioned using a 6870, Precision also has a 6766 that caught my eye. We also discussed running my gt4088r Garrett as a single and abusing the shlt out of it. I haven't seen or heard of many people running precisions as singles on 6.4's so what are your thoughts?

why not go custom compounds? you will miss the driveability terribly and iirc you tow do you not?

It will have compounds eventually. I just want something to run in the meantime and the factory style compounds are not going back in. My garrett hp turbo does great for me right now but I think the truck will run out of air very quick with it as a single.

Midwest just swapped my sxe369 for a precision 6870. I only had a few hundred miles on it but it was a lot better for me. Oil pump broke so until everything is gone through, this is all I have. Spool up was a lot better and being a 6 speed truck, I could keep boost better between shifts. Smoke output was night and day but it was also different tunes.
My truck has 60%s in it as well, and is on 38s.

Thank you this is the kind of info I'm after. What gears?

Jonnydime · Jan 19, 2018

Also which exhaust housing did you go with?

Leftthenleft · Jan 20, 2018

4.30s. I'm not sure on the housing. I'll have to find my build sheet or invoice.

Jonnydime · Jan 25, 2018

The parts for my single kit arrived today. Now only if I could get you guys to buy my stuff for sale in the classifieds I could buy my turbo and finish this.
