Yup. Rolled up a Dodge on the way home. In his defense four ft tall flipped mirrors add alot of wind drag.

Should have had a friend with you in the passenger seat holding a samurai sword to chop those ridiculous things off..

Gare, I know you don't tow big, but do you think your setup would be capable of pulling say 12k? I'm about to get serious about my build. Our new son is here and there were no unexpected doctor/hospital bill (love our insurance) so I can start thinking about putting a fuel system together, adding injectors and going bigger in the turbo department. I would like to end up with 550+rwhp (fuel only) and closer to 600rwhp on water/meth. I think a set of 175/100's with a billet wheel Stage 2 will be the way I go. We actually have a member in the GPDA running this exact setup right now. He just got the injectors in and is about to install the fuel system. I'm very curious to see what his setup and yours lay down on the dyno and how you guys like them daily driving.

if youre using a 100% nozzle you might as well go 190s. I think a 75% nozzle is better suit for 175s.

What size nozzle would you recommend on the 190's? Gotta be able to tow at least what the hitch is rated for, thats why I said 175's. If something like a 190/25 or 190/50 would work, I'd be game.

Congrats on getting you truck going. I like that you went with the 175/75, keep a eye on egt's and let me know what they do when you get it tuned in. I will be hopefully putting my stage 3 on my truck and it too as 175/75 right now.I want to run them until I get the 205/150 renegade injectors from Sheldon. They will actually be a custom set and I will let everyone know exactly what they are after I run them.(not exactly 205). I would consider putting the batmowheel back in your turbo also, maybe later after you enjoy your truck for a while. Can't have enough air in the diesel, and should lower your egt's even more.
Good for you, your truck and RCD for all you efforts, I know it's been a long road, but it does show that it's not easy to get a combination right.

Glad you got it running, sounds like it was quite a battle.

Congrats buddy!! I'm glad that it's running great for you. I saw the picture you posted on FB this morning, that color looks amazing when the sun hits it just right!!
