    No thats PLUS an 80 series LC. See answer to question 5. With the gas prices going up you may find yourself a good deal on a nice 80 for cheap though.

    Your all welcome! Yeah some people dont like to post $$ amounts for some reason, but how can a thread be interesting and helpful at the same time, if you only give half the information!? No I didnt get to go on any steep hills while I was there, but im planning on attending the GSMTR in Sparta...

    Thanks everyone for the kind words, it seems there are more diesel nuts on here than I thought! Detslider, those are some "how long is a piece of string" questions, however I will do my best to answer them for you. Others have PM'd me similar questions, so here goes ... 1) Can you give us a...

    OK im back and to continue from the post above, here are the pictures and video as promised .... ENJOY! Driving out to their facility, I couldnt help but capture a shot of the scenery going down the road - you dont get views like that in Nashville!! Arrived at the Miller Motorsports location...

    My Proffitts 1HD-FT 80 series conversion *UPDATED WITH PICS AND VIDEO*

    Yeah everything I read says these engine were tuned for tighter emissions, but a tweak here and a turn there supposedly makes a world of difference! I will report back on this when it gets home

    My Proffitts 1HD-FT 80 series conversion *UPDATED WITH PICS AND VIDEO*

    That's good info to have. I was thinking 285 or 295s also. What are your RPM's across the board with those tires? Yes BEB's were done and they saved the old ones for me to see. Some light wear but nothing to write home about. Also I had the injectors done, water pump, timing belt, thermostat...

    They had a couple of diesel swaps going in while I was there. Is yours the other 1hdft? So here I sit at salt lake city airport waiting for my flight to Nashville via Denver, and I must say coming out here to see the facility was an awesome experience! I pulled up to the shop with the cruiser...

    Hey P, Your right that would be pretty hot if in Celsius, but over here everything is in Fahrenheit. 800F converts to about 425C, so Gifu truck is running pretty darn cool! I have heard of Safari, they are pretty pricey, but Ive heard nothing but good things from them. Im also in the middle...

    Thank you for pointing this out - I was not aware the ACSD could cause such problems. I will definitely look into this. Your cruiser sounds awesome, and those are some impressive numbers. 800EGT pre turbo is where I would like mine at ideally. What intercooler setup do you have? Im currently...

    Thats a great idea! Love those drawers - are they the African Outback ones or ARB? What kind of extra weight did that add?
