If you cerakote it properly, you shouldn't have to worry about scratches or anything. a couple of my buddies build pistols, and i build ar-15's and they use it all the time and love it. Figured if it can withstand a gun, it should withstand anything a truck can throw at it.

Yeah I'm a gun guy too..Although I've seen cerakote used many times I've never been able to see it in person. But I know guys can be rough on their guns and they hold up. Something id probably do on my own. It doesn't seem that hard to apply.

theres always good info on AR15.com. Thats where i got most of my info. You want a new turbo go to PSA, you want a new gun, go to ARFCOM lol. The only thing i would look into is how the Cerakote effects heat distribution. From what i remember its supposed to help, that being said it is another layer of material. Just something to think about.

Yeah I have a forum for all of my hobbies, But I've looked into it, the colors would be limited in the High Temp Cerakote. But they also make one that comes in Gray that is for engine applications that is a heat dissipating coating. which is what I will probably go with if I did it. I don't really care if I cant get a certain color or I might just leave it as is since it looks good on its own.

Finally picked up some of these for the truck. Cant wait for the weather to break so I can get them and the wheels on the truck.

Mink and the boys over at Toops Performance have had the truck for the past few days giving the trans some love. Billet input shaft, Billet Low Reverse Hub, Suncoast Clutches, BD deep pan, DPC Triple Disc converter.

Is that a stock turbo? Looks like the shaft broke?

militant83 · Mar 4, 2015

Yep it was the stock turbo, But yes the best we can tell is the shaft broke which broke the wheel and everything in its path.

I almost told my wife about this, then i decided that was a really dumb idea lol. Haha, i don't want her knowing stuff like this is even possible.

That sucks though man, time to go bigger though

Yes Sir, got a RCD 68mm that will be on the way shortly.. although the wife isn't too happy right now this kind of worked out in my favor. I wasn't going to be able to get a turbo upgrade anytime soon until this one became a grenade.
