Thought I was out of the woods but putting the gauge cluster back in caused a leak near the fitting at the gauge. Not much room behind that cluster. Luckily I had some -4an ptfe line with fittings. Can support more pressure and larger diameter. I moved the location of the line and I'm going...

Got the gauge installed. Put a T fitting at the block so I can run a fass down the road. Used a 24v led green bulb like other gauges so it works with high/low function. Purged the air from the gauge. Gauge reads 85psi old. Old gauge was 60psi cold. Overall pleased with results. I am...

Got the old oil pressure gauge out. That was not easy. Got the new copper line run and the fitting to the gauge. Tomorrow I'll test it to make sure it works and hook the electric up.

Thanks Superthermal, permanent rapid weightloss. Haha

Got the spare tire up in position. So much more room for activities! I kept the spacers I used for the 16r20s in place. Fits well. I'm guessing I lost about 1000lbs of weight switching from 16r20s to 395s.

Oil pressure gauge came in today. Plans to get it installed tomorrow.

https://youtube.com/shorts/QAQ6-WXuQmQ?si=X7BcXNW_n1H538HE Here's a drive by at 60mph. Next one is coming back to the shop after a 15 miles test drive. https://youtube.com/shorts/5fBE0uQ1zyM?si=EjWC46WuEcqPGNA1 Ill get some video in the cab and record a longer trip in near future.

I agree. For my application I won't be using it anymore. Maybe with 16r20s but not these. I only give it what it will take.

Thanks hethead. I'm guessing it's probably around there. The methanol kit at this point is not worth the investment unless you just want it because. Im going to remove it and save it for a future project. It might be better to have methanol if you don't run an intercooler to help with the...

I took the truck out today for first test drive. Lots of data collected. 1) Truck feels so much lighter. The steering, the ride quality and tire noise dropped dramatically. The brand new tires was a huge bonus. Highly recommend anyone with these trucks to get new tires. Having them...

I have 8-16r20s for sale. In good shape. 7 are mounted on hemtt wheels with beadlocks and comes with hemtt lug nuts to bolt to your 5 ton rockwell axles. Extra spare looks brand new. Selling complete set. Will not break up the set. Pick up only. Will not ship. $2500 cash.

Bolted the filter to the side of the C channel. Clears with no issues. Plan is if weather holds out ill test drive Thursday.

Got all the clamps installed. Just need to finish a bracket to mount the power steering fluid filter to the side of the c channel now that the intercooler piping takes up the original location. Here's better photos of the n14 intake on the truck.

Just got 6 of the 395s on. A comparison of 16r20s to 395s. Lot easier to move around that's for sure. Hopefully will test on Monday or Tuesday to see performance gains.

I'm running a #27 button built by premco and the injectors to match at 10% overs. Warren from Premco said with my goals that this will keep the engine well within the safe zone. Im running 750 to 800 degrees egt in #6 cylinder. Going to smaller tires and the intercooler will drop temps even...

Nice build hethead! I know the intercooler can't hurt anything, only help. I took a more conservative approach on fuel but the larger injectors will help some, that's on the list soon.

Ordered 7 new 395s. All balanced with beadlocks. Going to be adding to the truck tomorrow. Should make a big difference with power, egts, less weight, and less wear and tear. Once project is done I'll post some videos of truck running and see what the performance gains are.

Installed the n14 intake with new hardware. Much lighter and easier to manuever, hooked the boost gauge back up. I also decided to hook the air compressor back up to the intake. Instead of pipe thread, Cummins changed it to -14ORB and then I got a 3/4" npt adapter to 1" barbed fitting. Ran a...
