Thanks Diesel I am.

lower50's · 01-24-2018, 08:59 AM

So time to update the diesel side.
I have been driving the truck for 2 summers and now have 10,000mi on it. It rides better than anything else I own. Last spring I added cruise control (best thing ever) because we do some long distance traveling. We have driven to Charlotte NC twice and Columbus OH once, pulling out 18' camper. We are getting 14mpg on the highway with the trailer. So we can drive 300mi on 22gal tank. Charlotte trips have been each been over 2000mi in 9 days.

That is just flat-out old school cool right there.

lower50's · 04-10-2018, 03:36 PM

Nothing like taking almost 2 years to respond, oops
I have a 2 stage boost controller that never worked the way I wanted so I made my own. I run 6psi normal and can flip a sw and go to 12psi.
I finally found a place close by that can properly set my timing, so I'm hoping to get that done this spring then I can dyno it.
22,300mi and counting.
