Had fun at the parade this weekend, there were over 100 entries and I was first in line (after the VFW and main parade sponsor of course, both of which are always first).

After driving it a bit with the exhaust wrap, I swear my EGT's (which are probably due to lower intake temps) are cooler with the same driving. So I doubled down a bit and we'll see what they do now.

Added some heat control under the hood. Figure less heat under the hood means less heat into the cab from the firewall.

Finally got my DVR/camera system installed. Had to make my own metal mount for the screen since the plastic on that came with it did not seem sturdy. Only had to drill holes for the rear camera, the front and sides either use existing holes or magnetic mounts. Rear camera. Side cameras. Use...

Added a breather to the crank case vs just having the hose go down the back of the motor. Also ran the axle vent tubes up to the top of the firewall to a manifold, also connected to the breather tank. I have some ideas on how to pressurize the axle breathers for a home made simple fording kit...

This is what I was hoping for. Plus, my speedo always read about 2 to 3 mph slow, so it should help a little with that as well.

Thanks for the tip. Heat was something I was concerned about. The more I drive it, the more inclined I am to just leave it alone. No need to hot rod around in a truck like this. I have yet to drive it with the 395s, will be doing that tomorrow, hopefully it will just reinforce me not wanting to...

Got some new tires put on today. The front had some decent weather cracking and the front right seemed to bounce quite bad around 40mph. Found a shop locally that came to my house to install, and also found some XZL's locally in 395/85/20. Will need to get used to the smaller look, but I think...

Getting ready for parade season, I got an inverter set up to run off the slave port so I can power lights etc. I got the slave cable from eBay cheap since one end had a broken slave connector. I was planning to remove it anyway for an Anderson connector so I can hook up the inverter or...

Got most of my lighting upgrades finished. 4 more led pods on the front bumper and some new led headlights. A rear facing/backup led light bars and a couple pods. As well as some wheel and side facing led pods. All together, they provide some good area light at night. Also, the 4 pods in...

Been slow going lately with the weather, but have made some progress. Got a new light bar for Christmas and got it wired into one of my switches previously installed. It is quite bright, 42k lux measured at 12 inches. I have some more LEDs on the way and already have the wiring in place for...

Tested out the gauges and they work great. I'm only seeing about 23 to 24psi max, and touching juts over 1000 degrees on a full throttle acceleration to about 45mph. Seems like lower boost pressure then I have seen others running. I have a GSK to install and was thinking of turning up the fuel a...

Got my gauges installed from TMG. Have not tested them yet while truck is running. The three switches go to the previously installed relays in the battery compartment. They will toggle some LED lights I have planned to install at some point. I did fully test out my seat heaters and they work...

Got a few more things done on the truck. Installed heated seats. Put the switches in my center console and put a 24v to 12v converter on the lower shelf. The kit was from Amazon and it was just the elements that you have to put under the seat fabric. Not too hard to install but holy crap these...

Figured I would start a thread for the mods I am doing to my truck. Doing basic stuff so far to fix a few things and get it aligned with my style. Here is a photo of it being delivered plus my first time sitting in it. Finally home. Tested out the cargo cover. First thing I did was fix...
