TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Well its the motorad. Works awesome except in the extreme temps. I dont know what other thermostat I would try

And the regear is coming

 

Nothing stock. Just something I had done till I figured something out with the liners or going snorkel

 

if you blame your bumper to the point of selling I'll give it a home.

 

118 is insane. I'd move.

 

Its up on the list of favorite mods. Im moving soon but only temporarily

 

may I suggest water wetter from redline? this stuff works. you're in the situation to get some real data from it. even if you got half of what they quote that would be a huge impact

 

And here I am trying to get coolant temps higher because they get surprisingly close to when my thermostat opens and closes

 

Most likely. On my way back home this year, going up the 40 just past needles. I want to say it was around 116 degrees, maybe hotter out. Truck was loaded down, and I was hauling ASS up the hills. I want to say the engine was around 208, but it didn't go much higher if at all. The transmission on the other hand went up to 250-260. I dropped it into 4th at a lil over 3k rpms and that dropped the trans down to 210. I am also pretty sure that trans temp is coming from the converter not the pan. Only issue I had was a P015b code being thrown, but it seems to have disappeared now so I am just going to pretend it was a fluke and act surprised when it pops up again.

 

Yeah, the converter is a known heat source. You can get lock up switch kits from WAT that go with their valve bodies. You can manually lock up the converter to reduce slippage and reduce temperatures. You can also eek out another 10% fuel economy. Maybe the HPtuners group can get close to this these days.

 

wear that bag with pride sir. you are not boiling your fluids.

 

realistically I am going to have to wait on something like that. I don't mind dropping it into 4th. I am on 34" tires on stock gearing, and trying to go up at steep grade at 95 MPH (IN MEXICO) when it's 115+ is kind of assholeish in 5th gear.
But my current mod list is looking like new tensioner, lightweight pullies, hp tuners, and maybe cams depending on how people like theirs when they get them.

 

very respectable choice of mods my man.

 

@Murphinator are you running 295's or 285 75 17's?
asking for a friend.....

 

Probably 295’s from a standard manufacturer or 315’s from BFG (still only a 34”)

295’s from BFG we’re ok for me on stock gearing. 315’s from toyo and I was NOT happy with stock gears.

 

Second option

 

putting 410 in this coming weekend. I very excite.

 

all new suspension with a trutrac and lower gears is going to be a party. need a go pro now for some documentation in Mexico.

 

LFP bearing is back in stock. Messaged him and he just finished a run of them for anyone looking for it.

 

im running 315's and did regear to 4.56 wish I went 4.88. It would be horrible on stock gearing can't wait to see what the SC does to it.

 

you're in for a surprise with the hp.
what's your goal with your truck?
I'm asking as I've learned so much so fast, like you.
