Expensive Smoke!!
Expensive Smoke!!
I'm new and excited about the diesel world and love the horse power I can get out of these amazing trucks. I have a 2004 Dodge 3500 and it was basicaly stock except a camper shell and air bags when I picked it up from a dealer in Irvine with about 10k miles on it 6 months ago. After whatching some videos on the internet of some serious dodges running into the 11's in the 1/4 I decided that is what I want. I searched out a compnay in Orange county that said they could do it. So I took my truck to OC diesel in Hunington Beach Ca. I was origanly quoted about 20k do to some pretty serious mods including a turbo ,wastegate, intercooler, cp3 pump, injectors, Chip,basicaly everything except the tranny to make some serious HP. I took my truck in and about a month went by and I decided to do some additional mods, like a lift and tires, stacks and I guess a more aggressive cp3 and turbo. Whelp I get a estimate for and additional 40g's and obvioulsy I about died. We got the price down to about 47k without the turbo or trans so I couldnt even use the HP. I had the truck for a week and it's back at the shop beacue it got super hot and broke. I'm not sure of the new damage but is this what I should expect?

I would expect that you got ripped off. You put 47g's into a Cummins and trans that truck better have landing gear with a good parachut
