Have both...have your cake and eat it too! Just like me...

"lifted" trucks handle great...if done right. No one would complain from behind my steering wheel!

I have a new 07 chassis cab to work on now...and am crying when I drive it. Coffee spills everywhere...lol.

Anyone who pulls a heavy trailer (5th wheel or tag) will tell you to not lift your truck. Often times there bed rail clearance problems with a 5'er, and hitch cracking issues if you have to use a drop hitch with a heavy tag trailer.

Racing around town is one thing, but it's more fun waving to Ford and Chevy guys as they get passed on grades while i'm pulling 11k.

I pull BIG GN's with my truck. Most new trailers can handle a 4" lift w/ 37's on Dodges...no problem at all.

A VERY small percentage of 5'ers out there would clear your bed rails.

I you dont mind could you go into detail on your pyro problem? Pm is necessary.

Since I intalled my tst probe I can not get the two guages to read the same. My isspro will read 100*s cooler on a hard run. Sometimes more. I just dont know wich guage to accept as accurate.

My Diprocal probe (which now has 120k on it) has always read higher than my TST probe...by maybe 150 degrees. 1-3 is on the TST...4-6 is on the Diprocal. Now...it reads 250 more...and seems to just get too hot.

I think I should wire in a new probe to make sure. I always seemed to run hotter than normal...but the visual signs when I tore into my motor was that it was never run as hot as I thought I ran it. Heck who knows. I need my rail gauge to start working so I can really tune...

I may not have enough rail pressure...hence the hot EGT's or a bad EGT probe...or I really have that much fuel flowing...then its water time!

I feel kinda blind right now.

Mine is the oppoosite, my tst reads about 1-150 higher than my Isspro. The isspro has maybe 30k on if that and the tst 20k or less.
