My happy truck

I ran some seafoam thru my truck, then started adding 2-stroke oil to my fuel. Truck runs better, is noticeably quieter, and seems to have more power. Computer says I'm getting about 2 more mpg.

Was temped to go with a BHAF but said screw it and bought the AFE stage 1 with dry filter. I love the sound of the turbo now...haven't had it on long enough to see what the mileage does... but it might go down since I like to blast off now

I'm probably going to order the MBRP 4" exhaust and be done with it. and maybe a fuel pressure gauge/dummy light. That might satisfy the itch for now

Famous last words.

I would spend the money on a good analog gage for fuel pressure. If you like the turbo sound remove your silencer ring, very easy and the turbo sound is soooo cool. Pull off the intake and the snap ring and silencer are right in the front of the turbo. Wont do squat for any performance, just noise.
Good lick with your plan on no more bombing for now. If you are on this site you already have the bug

And the only way to get rid off the bug is STAY LOGGED OFF OF DTR. Which is impossible!
