I've got a 99 2500 CTD 5speed manual with open exhaust, K&N air system, FASS Fuel system, and a BOSCH aftermarket injection pump, South Bend clutch, with stock injectors... Am I risking anything putting this thing in my truck??? Or should I go ahead with it???

The Adrenaline will work just fine on a stock truck. Most people around here that I know are just running a chip/box with no other mods besides maybe a straight pipe and air filter.

Thanks Backwoods, just wanting to make sure I'm making the right move, I'd hate to hurt my "baby."

Any other words of encouragement???

I had the adrenaline with my stock injectors for a while before i put in my 50 jammers. It made tons of power and the best part is that the power is totally controllable.

The adrenaline alone will toast your trans so be prepared for that.

Transmission issues noted..... Anything above 3, after a little playing, I can feel that tranny slip, I suppose with 180,000 miles on it, I should've expected it might be an issue adding that much power.....

Stay in 1-3, not issues, bump up to 4 and slippage...... Now it looks like I may have to look into getting the tranny rebuilt, and I'm pretty sure it's the TRANNY vs. being the clutch, because you can hear it.

I was looking at new paint job, shocks all the way around, and rehabbing this truck to like new condition, I suppose I may as well get the tranny in the process.....

There are limitations to everything. I ran the Adr w/stock inj for a year w/no issues. Dog the truck and yes, you'll have problems. Use the power wisely and things will last. I love my Adr.

Been a while, and a LONG 8 months with health problems in the family, and of my own, but I had to get a NEW SB clutch as my other had glassed over and wasn't able to be repaired. I got a 550HP rated clutch, and can run all the way up to 180HP setting on the Quadzilla, without much issue, except EGT gets a bit high. Thus far, the increase in fuel economy has been worth the investment, getting 20.5-21mpg in mixed town and road driving on level 3. I tinkered with a couple tanks of fuel from 0 - 5, and found that for my truck, level 3 gets the best fuel economy, therefore, it's been left on level 3 for the past few months.

Your not running 180hp tune. I don't think other than advertising that there is a 180hp tune.
Which tune are you running in the AD?
I have 3 tunes loaded on mine and usually stay with the custom Comp tune level 5.
Here's some tunes to play with.
