However if you had a van behind that FLD you'd need all the MPG you could get because you'd take a huge pay cut.

I know it's hard to gamble with money but if you'd get that ECM flashed there's a good chance you'd get a big chunk of that mileage back.
Shut up Donny Bowling!
You still running that "sled pulling" tune in your daily driver? -
Hey if I was Donny Bowling do you think I would be on the internet bullying people...NO, I would be doing it in person.
Plus if I had his money I sure wouldn't be running a "sled pulling" tune in the truck. Heck I would be hauling the mail all summer long 300 feet at a time.
I swapped out the big tune when I inframed the motor back in November and I've just been running the tune that BD designed for me from the get-go (it has a little more than their standard ones). But I'm currently waiting on one that will be good for about 700 HP and the IVAs will be deactiviated. I'm not sure how this tune will go, but we are gonna give it a shot. -
I know, I am changing out the resionator the weekend I get back from MATS, and hopefully getting 2 new Pitts mufflers to replace the ones on the rear.......then I will see how well she does. Right now, my FSC pays for ALL the fuel I use on my trip

and it's looking like I may need a new trans soon

Donaldson part # M100463 is the same muffler pitts power sells at a substantial price markup. Go to truckpro or fleetpride and get them cheaper. I found that info on here after I bought mine from pitts.
-
Unfortunatley it will not work, and my mufflers are 11" wide, and Donaldson only makes them up to 10" wide...plus mine is 61.5" long.....I wish I could use the Donaldson, but the cost of having someone make me a set of custom brackets just doesn't justify the savings.

Went to mid America truck show and presented myself well. Talked to a few people but everyone wants to SELL something to TRY to help. Even had a salesman do everything he could to sell me a new 386 Pete and sell my w900L
