Bored with truck....Now What????

[Doughboy21kd]

Well the topic says it all for the most part... .



I am where i want to be HP wise(i think)... . I want to keep this truck pretty reliable and i am satisfied for the moment with the SMARTY.....



By looking at my sig and my pic of truck what you think needs to be done next?



the only thing that comes to mind is Fuel Supply(FASS, Glacier, Etc)? With what i have done the stock turbo is probably ok ya think? My EGT'S empty truck only i have to really have to hold my go pedal to the floor to hit 1300... .



I cant think of anything else... . Anyone help me out with some ideas?



Maybe some exterior accessories or something? Is there any little stuff i may need/want to get?







never thought it would come to this, me asking for someone to help me spend my money :-laf :-laf



THANKS

check out some road armor bumpers, maybe a winch if you ever need it, mess around with new tail lights and loud horns, sound system inside need beefing up? I am kind of suprised that your stock lift pump can handle the smarty so it might not be a bad idea to look into the Glacier pump, the FASS is WAAAAY too loud for my needs. If you ever tow I would look in to the FASTCOOLERS or however you spell it to keep your G56 cool, hell just pick up a Geno's catalog that damn thing can get me going!

If i do the Fuel supply(glacier or whatever) how hard is it to do? Is it pretty straight forward? Have to drop the tank at all? Just wondering if it a one person job or need a couple more hands? If i decide to do that next?



As far as the SMARTY goes..... on SW8 or even SW9 at WOT i can pull my FP down to about 2-3psi before i have to let off cause of the speed factor(speeding)..... Cruisin speeds at 60-65 i sit aroung 6-8 psi... .

Throw on a set of Kodiak steps, or even better, the full length retractables. The girls will love you for it.

Doughboy, nice looking ride. Where did you get those stainless rocker panels? I've never seen those before.



You have the truck looking good on the outside, what have you done for the interior? A nice stereo... some new Cummins floormats... or maybe some nice stainless door entry panels? Have you looked into a Brite Box? How about a CB to pass the time on a long trip?



As mentioned before, GDP fuel system would be a nice upgrade, especially if you install their 2 micron fuel filter as well. As far as the install goes, I haven't done one. If you give the Glacier guys a call, I've heard they are really good at taking the time to answer all your questions.



Worse case scenario... I'll give you a list of upgrades for mine and you can have the distinct pleasure and satisfaction of helping fix mine up :-laf .

Like the saying goes "If it aint broke dont fix it"... ... ,



I just wanna know now that with the mods done on the truck is any preventive stuff i should do with the mods that have on there to keep it from breaking?

... ... I just wanted some selective Hp levels to play with and give the truck a little more go..... Dont wanna be fixing brand new truck that i also have to make payments on too... .

Hrmm. . I took a look at your gallery and its pretty hard to improve on what you got there. Super clean lines with just enough custom added, I like it!

As for performance IMO I don't think I would change much at the moment. Sounds like your fuel system is doing ok but if you were to change something the Glacier is one I like. Keeping it more stock may help with warranty if needed.



If your state will permit you could pull the front license plate and cap the holes with 2 stainless carriage bolts

You SAID you were "bored". That's not the same question you pose here. How much power you makin? Under 400? I wouldn't worry about nothing but getting rid of the bank note.

Doughbuy, I NEED those mudflaps... Do they make them for Dually's?



Thanks!



P. S Nice Ride!

 

[Doughboy21kd]

They make them as wide as you want them... . Those are 14" wide the ones for the duallies are 18" i believe...

 

[NoSeeUm]

LOL



Go for Hp or bling... ... Flip a coin.



There is always the 100% air ride suspension option.

You are more than welcome to have a look at my install, it is fairly simple, took me about 2hrs start to finish!
