Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) ques. for juice w/attitude owners

[DickersonD]

When I run it on level two it builds to 18psi at about 1400rpm so I think it will have some room to grow with the waste gate opening later.

I used a turnbuckle to hold the waste gate closed just to try and see if the truck would make more boost or if it really doesn't need any waste gate mods... ..... hit 27 psi just getting on it and never even broke 40 mph. I am at work so I couldn't take it for a long test drive. I can't wait till I get off tommorow and see what it will do. It is like I have only had half of a J/A,my trans is really screwed now.

Not sure if my truck has the restriction installed in the turbo circuit or not but the system was professionally installed by Jannetty. I have seen boost levels up near 30 psi and I had never run it passed level three either. One big problem I had was keeping the inter cooler hoses and couplings together. Solved that one also.



As far as transmission, good luck with stock set up as mine didn't last very long before it started shuttering under the load of my 5th wheel camper. I babied the truck and all that but still couldn't avoid problems. See my signature line for my solution.
