So I have the dps kit sitting on my bench ready to go on. The only thing I am afraid of is screaming turbo noise when I am pulling a car trailer up the pass. I hope this kit is as good to me as yours has been to you!
The turbo whistle is definitely noticeable, always there when you modulate the throttle, but not annoyingly loud. I always listen to an audiobook using a bluetooth/aux integration to the truck radio during long hauls and have no problem hearing the radio over road/truck noise. to be honest, I actually like hearing the low 2-tone turbo noises. Not annoying at all (at least to me)

When you do the swap, take the passenger wheel and inner fender liner off - I was able to stand in the fender opening, makes the job 10x easier.

Thank you for the tip. I hope to get started on it in the next couple weeks. I've had it for a few months now but couldn't put it on due to it being my plow truck also. I will update on how it goes. I have 60hp injectors, an airdog lift pump and MM3 tuning so it will be interesting to see the results.
