yessir. GearVendors! This should help during normal driving conditions. Final drive ratio should be 2.8 or so.

Quick update:
Truck goes under the knife this morning for the Deaver Springs. I actually had them rebuilt for some extra capacity.

Tomorrow morning; Johnson valley for a day of offroading.

ok, new leaf springs are in. Rubs now which is a drag. I see what adjustments I can make to the fenders.

On the bright side, spartan diesel programmer and dpf delete came in!

Ok, Got the Dashdaq and the delete pipe in. Got the tunes on to the card, 275 and all. Still waiting on the afe intake. Hopefully I can get the dpf delete on tonight or tomorrow.

I had to modify the rear fenders after putting the new springs. It lowered the rear a couple inches. Though, the rear rides much much more smoothly than the fabtech leaf springs.

--Added to the to do list: get the speedo corrected. Hopefully I can find a application the DashDaq can use to correct it. Anyone know of one?

Ok, I got about a quarter of the way through the dpf delete install and decided to button it back up because it was getting late and I could not really see anyway. I will do it at lunch today. This thing hauls. I have never had one simple upgrade make so much more power as this reflash.
