Yup. It's a big difference between this truck and my 24v. I can do well over 100mph no problem with it.

Have a gov spring kit coming. Hard to believe that this thing is bone stock. I'm gonna pop it's cherry hahaha!

3.55

Was thinking of putting a set in, though with all the irons I have in the fire, that may never happen. A US Gear Overdrive would be awesome too, but they sell for more than I paid for the truck, so that's not going to happen!

An 8spd would be awesome, but I'm not going to go about doing all that. Maybe if the truck CAME with it though

you might pick up three mpgs if you did intake exaust and bumped the timing

Changed the oil and fuel filter, was hoping it was just a dirty fuel filter that was causing the rough running when cold, but no still doing it.

Got it to backfire/pop a few times even while reving it. I don't know if the timing is off or something else? I'm going to try and do an overhead on it tomorrow, waiting on the tools to come in for the timing.


Is the dealer the best place to get oil for the NV4500?

wow. 140hp for just a fuel plate? apparently im missing something

Nate, go with Amsoil. Its quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol Syntorque.

if its running rough mabey your low on fuel pressure, if you got tools and the time bump your timing
