if you want i can set you up with bears buddy with the twins, it is a silver o3 short bed , 6'' lift has 37'' bfg mud terrains and you guys can try to trade boxes for a few days and see if the problem is the box or the harness, he also has the twins program, and is stacked with a ts ramifier, the other silver 03 has a stock charger, tst old program with an ez and dualed out 5'' ex, he would probably trade boxes too

That's OK, but thanks for asking! I decided to put the TST up for sale, but haven't put it in the classified yet. It's already in a box, all cleaned up, and ready to go.



I haven't met them in person, but have come across them in town before a few times. The guy that used to have the stacks (JT??) came up beside me once and wanted to race. I didn't want to because I knew I was going to get whooped good with just my BDDL and that was even before he had the twins. He apparently has quite the number of "kills" in town so I heard from a couple people at work that he spanked! The first guy at work got so ticked off that he got beat by a "big, stinky, diesel" that he decided to pull his motor and replace it with the sole purpose of racing JT again. The latest "kill" I heard of was a trans am. I noticed he got rid of the stacks after a couple of other people in town started putting stacks on their trucks. His truck does look pretty nice and sounds good. It was definitely pretty original and stood out from a crowd with the shortbed, lift, tires, and stacks. I think he only knows 2 speeds and that is "stopped" or "go like heck" just from seeing him drive around town smoking everyone out!



The other guy smoked me out once and that was before he had the duals out the back if I remember correctly. The story is here:

Bear's got a pretty nice truck too. He's given me lots of good advice in terms of upgrades and actually convinced me to try the TST out. He even offered to loan his TST to me before I decided to buy one.



Myself, I just have the boring, stock looking truck! However, because it is silver like the other 2 guys, I get people wanting to race me all the time. It's getting kind of comical actually with people hurrying to catch up to me at a light and then wait and rev their engines beside me.



Did you used to live in Elko? Work in the copper mines in Bagdad?

Moved From Elko To Bagdad, Now Back To Elko, To Work Underground At Newmont, Jt Has Lost To Two Trucks In Elko, Both Blown Gassers, (chevy's), But That Was Before The Extra Fueling And Twins, Now They Wouldnt Stand A Chance, Unless It Turns To A Top Speed Race... To Keep His Stock Turbo Intact With The Ez,tst Stacked, He Ported The Waste Gate Hole So When It Opened, It Really Could Flow Some Ex Pressure, Then He Ported The Ex Manifold And Port Matched The Turbo To Manifold, Boosted 46psi, For About 8 Months Before The Twins, The First Turbo Let Go While Pulling A Trailer Up Immigrant At About 48psi, That One Held Up For About 6 Months Of Extreme Abuse... . you Can Really Make Some Power With The Stock Charger, But No Way To Keep It Cool...
