Thanks Ian. I got that off eBay back in 03. It's a metal one. If I could find it I'd send it to you. Current truck is red and it just doesn't look right on there. I like my Stihl equipment better than my Cummins stuff.

I've got an old "028V Super" that I don't think will ever die. Best saw I've ever had.

MAN!!!! and I just noticed you've got a Kubota one on your other truck!! I love my MX5000 4x4 almost as much as my Stihl's!! LOL. I like your taste in equipment dude!

Megan i have my juice set at 36psi with the alert set at 42psi i got tired of it going off all the time but since i set it at 42psi I've only made it go off once or twice and that was with it on 5x5 WOT and really on it hard once and the other time was pulling a trailer with it on 4x2 and dropped to 5th gear at 60mph and WOT so you should be fine if you'll just raise the alert

when ya decide that the juice is not enough any more, you might consider stacking a TS Performance MP-8 with it for some added pressure

i stacked mine 2 weeks ago big difference in power and even seeing about 1.5mpg increase on the overhead but i haven't checked it yet to confirm

with the juice on 5x5 and the mp-8 on 100%......SMOKE! but now i need a fuel system that will keep up and rail pressure and fuel pressure gauges so i can keep an eye on every thing, until then I'm playing it safe i run the juice on 1x1 or 2x1 and the mp8 on about 60%-70%

sorry for the hijack.....back to megan's truck

Yup. I let njmaier drive my truck yesterday and he bumped up the alarm to 42 I think... Thanks for the future advice!!! I'm not ready to go there yet, but if/when I do, I'll take that into consideration!!! Thank you!!

I wanna plug TS Performance here. Dennis Perry is a great great guy to deal with. He's about an hour north of me. I had a Ramifier in my 03, and those guys spent a GOOD LONG 4 hours custom tuning that box for me. Dennis climbed in and out of my engine compartment probably 30 times. We'ed tweak the box with his software, then re-install and go drive. I was thoroughly impressed with TS.

i been playing with mine and it seems like i make more peak hp if i put mine on 5x1 and te mp8 on 100%....if i run it on 5x5 and 100% i can dry the rail...makes alot of smoke like that but i can actually feel it loose power because its dumping so much fuel at once

I have my juice on five most of the time, boost at 38, egt alarm at 1380, slip defuel on, smoke levels all the way up. My boost rarely sees over 33-34, I have had my egts up to 1290 but thats with about 7-8 tons behind it, ac on, and juice on level 3 in 90 degree heat. I run around town and on highway at level 5, other day went to look at a 51 chevy and averaged 19.0 mpg over 180 miles. Sittin at 17.1 now with a little racing and running at 70mph at times. With 167,000 on the odometer, I am lovin every mile, knock on wood.
