    If I bought a cat glider, I would stick with the tried and true 6nz and not your backyarded hillbilly power build. aim buying a glider to last me years and years of worry free money making.

    There is nothing tried and true about your setup. Pulls good, good on fuel but how many guys have pulled million's of miles with it?

    You know what else gets good mpg and pulls good? a 6nz with a 800hp pdi program and bullcrap turbo but it'll blow up twice in a million miles.

    To each their own though. A lot of guys will question why you'd even go with a cat in a Pete to begin with. the argument as old as time itself.

    Let me rephrase that I just built a $239,000 Kustom glider I could not put a 98 or older motor in x22 glider regulations if you put a mechanical 6nz motor in it ooida lawyers said that you will have to make it compliant for elog

    I'm pretty sure that 2013 has digital guages not the old-style analog so he has to have ECM or he would have no guages

    I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude but a lot of other companies building gliders won't use Kustom trucks patents OEM wiring harness so they just don't hook everything up go out and take a picture the left side of your motor it has a 1 foot by 1 foot square box bolted to the back left side my friends you have ECM

    Nobody cares what year the engine is they look at the truck vin. If it's a 2000 and newer you will be on elogs it's just that simple.

    Yeah and then once the Feds put and end to that loop hole as well one would be stuck with a 20 year old truck.

    You're right because you won't be able to license it because it can't meat emissions
