well it will be lifted. going with a basic spring over with 35 inch tire. going to do air bags helpers in the rear. Just trying to find a smoking deal on a doner truck in my area now. So how about some videos of your Titan with a sled behind it!! I cant wait any longer

I still need to get the wheels and tires on it! SLED, I don't know it would look sweet though. I don't kknow if I have enough weight for a good sled pull! I am goig to take it to the dyno next week if I can get it timed and it passes the first test ride!

Sounds like an awesome build. I really like everything about the truck. Looking forward to seeing it all finished and rolling down the street!

Wow! What a cool project! I've always liked the way the Titans looked. You turned that thing into a beast.

As far as the timing with those injectors, I generally set them up at 16.5° and they tend to run a little cooler. 370's are pretty hot since the spray pattern doesn't match the bowl of the piston on the pickup engines. Have you checked with the local parts stores, Napa, O'Rilleys, Auto Zone? Our Napa here has the Dial Indicator tool that they rent out.

Might be worth a shot!

chalk it up to my geezerhood, but, it looks like your tires are wearing a Nissan bobblehead. (running and hiding now)

I'm gonna suggest 16,5° timing... unless you've done something to hold your top down and lower your CR...

ok guys,
I drove the truck yesterday and it ran fine except when you punch it you sitting still it puffs a little white smoke and pops a little. First thing that comes to mind is slipped timing, but the fuel pressure is 15 PSI at idol and if you bring it up slow it goes to 23-25. If you stab it it goes from 15 down to 10 then slowly back up. I have not wired the pump in the fuel tank yet could this be the problem, starving it for fuel? Thanks fof the help in advance!

Taken together, white smoke and low pressure are absolute signs of fuel starvation. Remove the Nissan in-tank pump entirely, in favor of a "shower-head" style pickup fitting. Let the engine's lift pump do all the fuel movement. Diesel doesn't have the vaporlock characteristic of gasoline, so engine-powered suction is OK
