Oh very nice :)

Then sir, you want an EGR cooler delete (I like the Sinister kit), and a programmer to shut down the EGR valve (DP-Tuner)

The 6.0 turbo gets clogged up easily with carbon and sometimes rust. The variable vanes are easily stuck when this happens. When the EGR mods are being installed, the turbo must come out so it's the perfect time to have the turbo disassembled & cleaned. With the EGR system working, I would do this at least every 50K. Without it can go much longer.

Throw an EGT gauge on it too.

Had the SMB out & about for some shakedown miles, and everything is great!

The SMB is still at the engine shop, so it's been axle time. This Stage 1 D60 w/RSC just left for Canada. Monster brakes!!!

And another D60 is on the cart. This is another RSC axle packing 4.56 gears & an E Locker, headed to California next week. It's only half built because the pass side knuckle had no hole for a tie rod!

I spy a bolt on hi steer arm on the passengerside knuckle and holes in the driverside knuckle of the canada bound axle.
What knuckle is that?

On a completely unrelated note just wanted to say I saw Vanaconda cruising down I-40 this afternoon looking totally Bad Azz. All I can say is one day, one day I will have the time and finances to build one of your kits. Cheers

Thanks man! I was on an axle run. If you're in the area, stop by the shop any time.


Looks like you're plenty busy Mr. Chris. Shop looks good!
