Wow, lots to learn, going to look into the water meth, but want to upgrade clutch first. Its amazing how addictive these trucks become, first i just wanted a set of gauges and exhaust, now its airdog, clutch water meth....list goes on.. One thing i can say is that my 12valve made lots of power for CHEAP MONEY. but thats ok, its an adventure.

 

yeah i remember my 12v i modded it for under 400. and was very happy with it! These take thousands and then you break and start all over! Like you said it's an adventure! So far so good except I'm really going thru the fuel???! 10 gallons with only 170 miles! =17mpg that sucks wonder what is different still mystified by the rail pressure running around 8k haven't figured that out yet! Think it's hooked up wrong but don't know for sure! Anybody know where to hook up the sensor wire? At the sensor or after the MP-8 plug??

 

Cant help you there, still learing myself. 17mpg!!!!! Im happy to get 15, what gears do you have? im running 4:10s wish i had 3:54s or something lower. im hopeing with the water meth i will gain some millage. I think i would trade my new truck for a 98.5 12valve with the 5speed. but then i do like the low miles and tight ride...

 

Minus the piston, how much did you spend on parts??

 

Yeah i got the 3.54 gears and 19.5 tires they really help! As far as what it cost I spent
around 300. in parts and fluids and another 50. on a hone then about 15 hrs in my labor.
If you had someone do it I'd guess around 2000.! Glad I'm a mechanic!
