Default Hi all! It's good to be here...

Well Here are some pictures of my truck, a 1989 Super Duty 7.3, ZF 5 speed, with 5:13 rear end gears. I bought this truck as a rust bucket, with 120,000 miles on it. I did all the work my self but for the rebuild on the transmission. I set it up to haul my fifth wheel toy hauler. My former toy hauler camper was 35' long and loaded weighed about 11500 pounds. I bought a new 5th wheel toy hauler in November. Its a 38' long Coachman Adrenaline Toy Hauler triple axle camper. The new camper weighs 12200 pounds empty, loaded I'm guessing it will be about 15000 to 16000 pounds. My wife and I both ride, I have a 2000 Hayabusa, a 2008 B-King and my wife has a 2000 Bandit 1200S.
So thats how I came to finding this place. I needed to find power for my 7.3 IDI non turbo truck. I ended up buying an ATS turbo system called the Aurora 2000 for my truck. I will soon be putting it on my truck when I take it out of storage. I put so much work into my truck I put it away for the winter to keep the New York salt off it.
I'm here to learn and make some new friends along the way. I think Im going to be happy here. By the way my name is Jay.

Thanks guys.... an yes you can get the weight up there with two cycles a 5500 watt generator and two 35gal fuel tanks one for the generator and one a fuel station for the cycles. Also 200 gal of fresh water.... I will look for the link to my on line picture page of the camper and post it up in here.

I have been asked that before about an intercooler, I have not looked into that yet but I know the colder air will help a bunch... Right now Im a little light in the wallet after buying the ATS system and the new camper.... Im sure it will be in the future and will help keep the EGT down

For less money, you can get water/meth injection ???? That would lower your EGT.
