Somebody's New Truck Awaits....

Nice looking truck there TG & GR . Good Luck!

 

MM any secrets on getting the coil cleaned under the bunk without removing it? There is no filter on it and mine is pretty dirty....was thinking of something to spray on it and then try hosing it out with a wet vac.... any thoughts?

 

What kind of rears and and what spd tranny you got??

I know what killing my fuel mileage....it's the ten spd tranny and the 3:90 rears....it pulls like nothing else but running 70 or even 65 my
rpms in the top hole is right at 1700

 

Thanks. You made me feel better. $250 isn't bad. Hell it's way better than I was thinking. It was $250 for the one in my VW Jetta...lol. GR was planning on hacking that huge catalytic converter off anyway. He was talking to MM about it today. Not sure how that's going to work, it's huge.... oh well. At least we won't have to worry bout it going bad.

 

Cat c-15 435
9 spd converted to a 13
3.55 rears
238" wheelbase

 

That is awesome you guys got that CAT warranty, I always see the dealers trying to push that aftermarket stuff. Great looking truck btw!

 

What rpms in top slot # 65?

 

I am not positive on the gears but I do know it is an Ultrashift 10 with over drive. I run 24.5 tall rubber and at 68 I am turning 1400 rpms. If I knew how to decipher the tag on the axle, I could get you the exact gearing.

 

1450 at 65

1500 looks like 67-68 mph

22.5

 

one day it might be useful to step p to 24.5
that would let you cruise at higher speed while holding the rpms some.

no matter, im sure you'll have fun not being some oilfield-slumlords lackey!
