TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I always aim high and miss. it could be an 18 month goal?

 

maybe a door lock actuator to close when truck shuts off or doors lock?

 

Or a speed sensor like Porsche uses for the spoiler to raise up and down.

 

that would work but I'd want it open at idle when in stop and go traffic. but if it was connected to the door lock actuator or s/c pump cycles that may be best for me.

 

I'm pretty sure my shopping addictions counselor wouldn't be on board with more group buys for a while.

 

same here. but I've only spent 75 bucks today. good deal on a poly carrier bearing. @Athlaos, trutracs are sweeeet!

 

Ya. Best money I’ve ever spent on a differential. Well actually the only money I’ve spent on one. I do have a Torsen to go in the front as well but want new gears at the same time so it’s sort of on hold.

 

what gears do you have? I got 410s because i do like highway balance.

 

Still the stock gears. I’m thinking 4.3 will be the upgrade, because 4.10 would only compensate for the increased tire size and bring it back to stock equivalent.

 

that's true in my case. as I understand 410s and 285s are stock. it's a very slight change. I'm very happy it's done. I'm very proud I did it myself.

 

Well I have the supercharger main assembly and radiator. Still missing the second box for the supercharger install.

 

that radiator will keep you busy for a couple hours. put that in first?

 

the tracking number shows that it has not even been picked up. so i get to call tomorrow about that. i am using a couple of vacation day to make an extended weekend.
can i run it without an iintercooler lmao!!!! just kidding

 

it will be worth the wait. study the instructions. get questions answered, organize tools and help to make it efficient.

 

My reservoir tank leaks and it leaked enough coolant out that the intercooler was basically doing nothing and then the truck just bogged down hard.
I would not run it w/o the intercooler.

 

I’m finally done breaking in my gears and did the differential oil change today. Wow, with 4.56s on the truck and 295s it feels so different. Way better power band, feels like it probably should with the blower.

 

do you need another one? or are you going to buy a shiney one?

 

Damn. I chickened out on 4.56 in favor of 4.30 for highway and in case I want to still go 100+

 

Shiny one is on the list of wants but low on the priority list.

Its a slow leak from where the hoses attach so I am just monitoring it and adding coolant if needed.

 

I win the chicken out contest, I'm selling the 35s and 4.56 and have 4.1 diffs on the way and a stack of 285s in the garage


PS Anyone want some 315/75/16 ST MAXX and 2 4.56 diffs with ARB lockers never used. Would say you should get them some new gears since they wore in poorly.
