Hey CCOUGHRAN,

Good luck with your fix. What's the name of the dealer? We always stay in Deer Park when we go the races at the Houston drag strip. Also, go to Baytown a lot. Be good to know just in case.

Thanks
Pete

CCOUGHRAN,

I believe you should not have a negative opinion about fueling boxes. What happened to your truck may not be caused by the EZ. You choose to work your truck hard with minimal mods and extra fuel BLIND. I guess it will only be speculation to what happened because you had no way to monitor critical info...EGT, Boost, Fuel Pressure, etc. Even then, it could have just been a fluck injector pump failure. S@#$ does happen!

you may be correct...also it may have just been a bad seal from the get go, no way to tell.... all i am saying is that i am not willing to risk it again.

i really enjoyed my truck with the edge on it... but i will leave this truck alone..

i still have a 2002 2500 4x4 ext cab 6spd with a box on it. so i can still have some fun while driving it.

what i think i will do is go ahead and buy a 1997 or so, that way i can have some fun and not have to worry about trashing the new truck.
