Finally got the tune done today, have an MPG, towing and power tunes, ran me $670, holy cow it made a difference especially in the throttle response time and revs a lot faster. I waited a long time for Squires to do it. I didn't know it at the time but apparently this guy created STS Squires...

Contact US powetrain, I got the parts from them including the front carrier assembly. I had a one off drive line shop, Jose's transmission, in Las Vegas do the work. Did a great job.

Also added 3M ceramic tint all around waaay cooler in the desert sun. Sorry updates and upgrades have been sporadic work has been pretty crazy.

Not the most exciting part to add but great to keep the goods in the back.

With the long tube headers and high flow cats the EGT isn't getting hot enough. My appointment witht the tuner is still coming up next month the work some software voodoo. Codes dont affect the truck drivability just annoying. Too bad a video with exhaust note is too big to add here sounds great.

I tow haul about 10% of the time, the rotors are grooved but I am not sure the brand they were on it before.

I wanted to post the new exhaust sound but incant get the file small enough ever at 3 sexonds.Huge sound difference. Average mpg is 18.5, that is with the 35s and 3.92 gearing. Seat dyno feels a difference especially near peak. I should have it off to the tuner this month.

First step in the suspension is done. Once I can get the shocks down the road the upper control arms, if as advertised, should take the the front travel from the stock 9 inches to about 12. It the heim joints at the body and the Icon Delta joint allow for a bit more up travel, but mostly more...

To condensed it short, I travel for work all over the country including Alaska, ridiculous miles. I could have gone for a TRX and done nothing but this is also a labor of love to make the vehicle mine, some bits practical others for fun. LSD for offroading and snow traction, the truck had the...

I might be able to get it in next week for the exhaust I will.

Rust has fused the front passenger axle to the carrier. Luckily i have a new carrier, unlucky I will probably lose out on the core charge.

The wheels are 18in. I bought the truck in Florida, 4 months there for work then back west to Las Vegas palms in the Valley pines in the mountains. The LSD comes down to use and money. In a standard axle the carrier can be replaced from an open diff to an LSD which improves traction. To have a...

I got the 3.92 in the rear with the LSD instantly better traction and the lower gear really helps with the elevation changes. Front I have to wait for shop availability. Next up my stainless works long tube headers and X pipe exhaust should be here later this week!

Rear, the front is is a riveted assembly. I picked one up in the 3.92 from US powertrain.
