Nice. How much you pay for this gem? Truck looks great...fully beast mode. You going to do 7th Injector? I honestly would say its mandatory if your going to run this. Pinging is so bad otherwise that you can't really do much with it.

 

Thanks. If you don't count the misc. stuff I had to buy for the install, like vacuum hoses and fittings, then I got it for free. My buddy had it on a 96 and he couldn't afford the newer ecu and urd injector kit, so he told me if I help him take the blower off and put a factory intake back on, then he would just let me have it. I'm planning on doing the 7th injector soon but money is tight right now so in the mean time I'm gonna do the pcr mod to get me by.

 

Sick truck, congrats.

 

Thanks man.

 

I got the timing belt stuff done and the e-fans put on today. Wasn't near as bad as i was expecting. The e-fans are pretty awesome, I'm just not a fan of how often they cycle on and off, but I'll get use to it. They definitely pull some air though.

 

Here are a couple pictures of my e-fans installed.

 

how many miles do you have on your kumhos? i think ive got about 30k on them right now

nice truck man it looks really good!

 

Thanks. I think I wound up putting around 45-50k on them. They were pretty slick when I took them off though.

 

ahh sweet...i might get that out of them, got my fingers crossed

thats a v6 right?

 

Yep

 

Got that sc installed yet?

 

If everything goes right, it's going on this weekend. My starter is going out, so now I have to add that to the list of things to do.

 

Keep us updated on how you like, or don't like, those e fans. I've been back and forth on getting them but can't decide for sure one way or the other.

 

Ok I will. So far they seem to work real good but I haven't put them to any extreme test yet.

 

Thanks man. Once again, great looking truck!

 

Thanks.

I put a new starter on today and I also picked up another much needed upgrade. I plan to put it on this weekend after the supercharger goes on.

 

Bigger alternator? Did you get dual batteries to go with it? Lol.

 

Yep and nope. I went back and forth trying to decide if I want dual batteries and decided against them. I've read a bunch of articles on them and from what I've gathered, the only thing dual batteries are good for is running accessories with the key off and not having to worry about not being able to start your truck afterwards. I rarely run anything with high amp draw with the truck not running and when I do, it is usually for only a few seconds. I will probably step up to a bigger battery but that's the most I'll do.

 

^yep, that's all well said. and even that i could see going out of "style" since some of the newer batteries have a backup cell which will still start your vehicle even when the battery is fully dead.

 

X2 this is exactly how I want my truck to look one day!
