Not sure what the volume capability is of the pump you are using, but mine had to have IPR DC pulled back. Make sure you have the 'revised' shaft seals and bearings in your pump, because if you don't for your application, you'll blow the bearings out with that kind of side load

What pump setup do you have? How much it run you? How does it mount on looking for a more or less easy setup for my 06

Looks good, where you have the boot, do you plan to vband that or is that the oh sh#t connection?

You know those 33's are gonna be slick very soon don't you? :thumbsup:

I am just going to wait and see how it goes. I have a boost brace for the pipe coming off the hp turbo. My tires are going to hate life for a while I think.

The latest news on the build is that it ran for a little bit, but I have since dug back into the HPO system to address a few things I was not happy with. I hope to fire it again in the next few days.

It runs. It frightens me...

Still have a few minor kinks to work out of it and get my tuning and wastegate dialed in.

Maybe tomorrow.

I got a couple vids. One of the truck idling, you can here the exhaust leak at the manifold, that will get fixed today with any luck. I am pretty happy with the idle.

And this second one is a 1/2 throttle, or so, roll to 80mph. Good thing I let out, there was a cop over the hill. It was pretty much smoke free, saw about 48 psi even with the exhaust leak. I still need to get my wastegate dialed in some. I apologize for the crappy video. I will try to get some WOT vids this weekend, with some help so they look a little better.

everything takes time to get just right, o btw u got a PM

TooMuch03 · Jun 24, 2013

Well, I was pretty happy with how the truck was running, very strong. I love how the power comes on so smooth with the compounds. I was going to get some WOT vids this weekend, unfortunately my truck had other ideas. Saturday night, I had an idler pulley come apart (cheap chinese made replacement :doh

and it ground its way through the front cover and intake manifold in about 3 seconds. Coolant everywhere :cursing:

got the truck towed home and pushed back into my tent/garage. Looks like I have to replace the front cover, or have it welded, and have the gouge in my intake manifold welded up, or replace it... I have a late style front cover laying around that I can swap in, I like that idea better than welding my damaged one, I will have to get a new water pump, but I have been wanting a Bulletproof diesel water pump for a while anyway. The damage to the intake manifold is pretty minor so I will probably just have my buddy weld it so it doesn't leak any more.

The questions I have for the experts are: should I replace the LPOP gears while I am in there or will I be fine to reuse them if they are not scored or worn? Also, does anyone know of aftermarket LPOP gears that would be worth getting? I think Elite used to sell Billet gears, but I don't see anything on their website? Also, is a harmonic dampner worth it? I would go with ATI if I did (too many fluidampner horror stories), but idk if I really need one or is stock better?

Maybe have the LPOP gears cryoed polished and heat treated. Never really heard of anyone doing it on them but i had the whole trans in my 450R done and it helped alot and wasnt to much really.
