School Me On 3rd Gens
#11
Well I drove the 3rd gen last night. It was OK. I don't know how big a fan I am of the interior and I decided that I will never own a bright red truck. Just ain't for me.
Here's an odd question. This thing was an 06 Q/C, auto, 4x4. It supposedly has never had a box, programmer, etc on it but they guy did put gauges on it. He had it all hooked up correctly. But heading down an entrance ramp I got after it and that thing hit 1200* REALLY fast and climbed a little past. There wasn't any smoke out of the pipe to speak of. Is this normal?

Ya know, when I was driving home last night I was thinking the exact same thing.

yeah thats normal. I've seen as high as 1550 while towing in total stock trim except gauges on my 06. The best fix I found for this is a quadzilla boost fooler. It fools the ecm to keep the waste gate closed. With this on there I can stand in it all day long and rarely see over 1350 at about 40-41psi versus the 1550 at 27-30psi. It seems to me the 04.5+ run hotter than the 03-04.5's I've driven one stock 03 before with guages and I never saw anything over 1100. I've driven three 04.5+325hp/610tq engines and they all run about the same 1400+.
as the wheel bearings I've got a little over 118k and no problems yet(one will go out tomorrow for me making this statement) U-joints are a different story, but I have towed some things
