05 Dmax: More torque than your TPI
 
http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/a...w/IMG_5394.jpg

2005 Sierra 2500HD, LLY duramax and A1000 allison 5 speed automatic trans.

So far it has a AFE turbo mouthpiece, MBRP downpipe, MBRP 5" turbo back exhaust, EGR blocked, and of course what hipster diesel fanboi is without a crummy 120hp/200tq tune.

Need to install a set of tie rod sleeves soon, and then see how she does versus the scooby doo mobile. Last big mod on the truck will be more fuel filters through a air dog/FASS etc system. Right now the factory WIF filter was removed to allow the use of a CAT filter, 20 buck CAT filter that flows, and filters better than the 80 buck OEM filter FTW. Hopefully also install a bigger trans cooler soon, and maybe do coolant flush/thermostats.

Hopefully have it at the track maybe this fall if I save up the 4-5k to cover when the trans blows up. :rofl: Until then, 0-60mph runs and embarrassing fancy car drivers.

LTb1ow 08-17-2012 09:32 AM

VGT turbo, garret from Izuzu factory. Makes interesting hair dryer noises at idle when it does self check or whatever

This is bert.

I need a camera on teh back of the truck to get pics of people trying to get pics of ole bert, its quite funny to watch.

WSex 08-17-2012 09:35 AM

was just reading on dieselpower many people taking vgt's off of the isx and slapping them on the isb's
pretty sure would work in this case too. right?

LTb1ow 08-17-2012 10:15 AM

Even if he tripled his rate, still would be zero. :kneeslap:

Those milkshakes add up.

Any cosmetic plans?

sweetbmxrider 08-17-2012 01:44 PM

Tint, get the wheels gloss black, and either try to vinyl flares black or get a new set.

redsoxsstink 08-17-2012 06:23 PM

if i was to get a truck this would be it. i would get a leveling kit and some fat tires. no need to go up with it just make it wide.

LTb1ow 08-17-2012 07:34 PM

Yea I cranked the T bars a tiny bit, truck sits a little more level now and the axle angle isn't terrible. Truck got new tires a week ago, they are a little taller and skinnier, all bout dat dere MPG.

LTb1ow 08-18-2012 05:14 PM

Got my tie rod sleeves on today, need a alignment now and then, maybe some etown ;)

If I race it, will drop down to the 90hp/160tq tune, safe for Allison. But enough to make FFB cry after a 7k lb truck out 60fts him.

coolmanvette75 08-18-2012 05:36 PM

Lets see it. I bested back to back 1.82s with my shot clutch...

sweetbmxrider 08-18-2012 05:51 PM

Nice sleeves bro! Those duralast tie rod ends? They are built to last!

Thanks Curt for hooking me up with this lil gadget. Saw 22psi last night coming home :twisted:

Gotta get the EGT probe tapped in the manifold and then I am good to go.
