Default My new 6.5

I got a new truck about 3 months ago. It's a 1998 Chevy 2500 Ext. Cab Long bed 4x4. The trans. is a 4L80E, which is okay I suppose. I'd rather have a manual again. With the 6.5 fans i've talked to, it caused a stir... It has a 3in body lift. From what I understand that is a cooling no no. But it has never been close to overheating. All cooling lines were extended when it was done. I also had a custom (under bed) dual exhaust made. It's a 3in from the downpipe back to two 4in tips. Sounds good except for the exhaust leak at the beggining of the downpipe.. The turbo is not stock from what im told. A slightly larger BorgWarner was installed when it was reflashed for higher fuel rate. It has okay power, but it deffinetly could be better. (Ran 19's on the 1/4 mile). Electronic shift transfercase, which I would like to change. Fierce Attitude M/T's being the great tires it has. Oh, and 154,xxx miles. Just looking at what I might be able to do for better 1/4 mile times and pulling..
