    PSA:
    I regret to inform you all that Scalded_Dawg Garage is now closed until further notice.

    The Expo Dawg will undergo some much needed maintenance and repairs before the Big Dogs TW Event. We will re-open upon completion of this current project.

    Thanks,
    The Management

    Actually (no BS) my Uncle in Houston is working on a CNG project for long haul trucks (semi's); cleaner emissions, higher MPGs and power increase. AND CNG is a LOT cheaper per gallon compared to propane and diesel.
    Once big rigs start using it and it shows up at your local Pilot station, it'll take off.

    MIG welding wrought iron is possible but sketchy / hit or miss. It's a process to get it to take right.

    EDIT: JB weld that shit!

    And thanks for the motivational speach from the Lingod.

    You need to find a mountain and climb to the top and sit there so anyone who needs truck advise can climb the sumitt and ask the Dali "Tacoma" Lama.

    But seriously, I have no idea why you are being a complete ass hat about what I do to my truck, but Im going to turbo the shit out of it regardless.

    Couldnt say :notsure: but it dogs in 4th. I planning some 4.88's later next year which should help.

    In all honestly, I originally saved $3000 for the SC. I found a thread that broke down the SC vs Turbo and it was a no brainer. The 1st gen is a three lobe screw (vs four lobe the 2nd gen has) and doesnt have an intercooler. Its almost gareunteed to ping in 4th gear which would kill an engine much faster than a turbo and is a power suck at the crank.
