Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Stock now...Bombs away next weekend to reward her for 200k...

[BCriste]

Can't wait till next weekend. My truck is all stock except a straight pipe and 15. 25degrees of timing. Next weekend we are installing a pac brake, valve springs, 4k GSK, #11 plate, AFE mega-cannon, Bilstein shocks, Borgsen steering shaft, and changing all the fluids front to rear. Sounds like a full weekend to me?Oo. Oo. Oo. Will I know what to do with myself after next weekend??? Other than planning on possibly change the origional clutch out the next weekend?? I'm so excited ..... kinda like a kid on christmas night..... Oo. Oo. Oo. Does anyone have any advice for me in advance???



Thanks for all the Information,

Fasten seat belt, hang on and be prepared for smile muscle to hurt the next day. You will love it. Be ready for 370s and a clutch next.

Beer. Lots and lots of beer.



You'll wonder why you waited.

No plans for beer till it's done....

I'm just hoping the clutch holds. It's the origional clutch Already planning on clutch. I have already decided on a south bend clutch. I havn't decided which one. I will be pulling a heavier trailer next year (appx. 23-25k gcvw) and don't plan on any more bombs except maybe 4" exhaust and a PDR HX35 w/16cm housing to keep the EGT in check. You see I'm not the only one that drives the truck while I sleep, someone else usually drives, and I really don't want to wake up to a burnt piston, turbo, or head gasket. Some people don't pay attention to gauges. So any more bombing for power may not be an option. So what clutch would be the best bet. Do I need to spend $1200 on a 13. 25 on will a normal con O be O. K????

Thanks in advance for the opinions.

I have the CON OFE, and was told, that the CON O is good, but for the little bit more, just get the CON OFE... . I have had ZERO Slippage, and I pull some pretty stout loads! I would recommend 191's... . They will give you lots more low end fuel, a little smoke, and ALOT more power!!
