Is 2900 miles tooooo early to BOMB???????????????

[Gary C]

Just had the transmission done and was surprized how many things were wrong. That will be another post. Did a Dunrite convertor, reworked valve body, Magtech pan, Mobil Fluid fluid and bunch of other stuff, Rancho Transmission in Temecula,Ca did it in three days. BY the way, I was very impressed.

Anyways, the EZ box is staring at me from my kitchen table and Stage 1 injectors are a call away and the SPA gauges go in next week. I have the Magtech diff cover and want to do the Scotty System.

Am I looking for trouble?

Is the light foot or lead foot the determining factor for problem down the road if I go with the Box and the stage 1 injectors?

Don't these motor come in a 400hp range and 800lbs of torque from the Cummins factory for other applications?

What do I need to be careful of?

I am only towing a flatbed trailer and a car on it. 4600lbs.

BTW, truck is a month old today.

Thanks for help.

I need my fix.

I drove mine home from the dealership, parked the truck and then spent 10 hours the next day adding everything to my truck. The owners manual says that the truck doesn't need to be broken in so I figured that it would be best to let it start off with all of the modifications.

Never too early to BOMB, as long as you realize that once you do, you will probably be your own warranty station! Establish a base line and work up form there.

My Y2K was bombed before it left the dealer upon delivery to me. Yes, they installed the wheel covers, filled the tank with fuel. Why they even detailed it.

I think you can start bombing right off the lot with no problems,but if it was me I'd put on at least 10-15k to make sure your new engine has no problems that may not be covered under warranty because of your mods. Might just save you a bunch of money.

I believe it is important to put no fewer than 8,512 miles on the truck before you BOMB. But then again, I'm FOS, so why listen to me?

Believe it!!!!! It cost me an engine a 10k miles.
Now on my engine I installed the DD1's after 50 mi to make sure there were no oil or coolant leakes then the next day hooked up the 5th and went on a 5k mi break in trip wich included a stop at DTT for all there goodies.

Why, I drove it right to Auto Wurks Diesel the first day and pulled out the stock air filter and put in the K&N. By the time the truck had 3000 miles on it, it was as bad as the technology let it be in 1997. BOMBs away!
