andddddd plot twist....no one wants my 6.4 so i guess i'm stuck with it for now, and it's getting a single turbo. s467.7 fmw race cover .90 housing probably put the wastegate kit i still have on it, and do hd push rods and valve springs when the turbo goes on, might do hd up pipes as well even tho i sold the ones i had. will get the turbo housing powder coated trans copper which is the same color as my intercooler piping, and if it does spool to my liking i'll drop a higher stall converter in it along with a billet flex plate even though it's staying on stock fuel still

Same here. I haven't used my SCT for 3 or 4 years but I am afraid to get rid of it in case my MM ever fails.

About 60,000 including the truck/ plow and everything to make it look how it does now. Doesn't include any maintenance stuff like brakes, or alternator or tensioner or any of that stuff

Well i sold the bmfs almost a year ago so i need wheels still and i didn't count any labor i paid for egr ******. The cab has been up yet, truck had been good, but it's still a tune only truck until the end of the month when the new rocker arms and s467.7 fmw with race cover and .90 housing goes on. The trans rebuild was 3500 i think from a local trans shop and that included gpz clutches. Margaring input shaft and other things. The harley grille i bought used off instagram for the same price i sold my lariat chrome grille for, the turbo that's going on it i bought used with 2000 miles, the no limit piping was used so i save over 1000 right there between those few items. The plow was 5000 i bought it in the middle of summer brand new..so i got a discount on that. The intercooler was presale from alradco so i waited to find deals. I decided to wait to build the motor once it breaks if it does. Having the single will eliminate back pressure issues, egt's should be cool with that much air going through the motor. So the plan is to add some american forces and just work the truck and drive it as much as possible...

Also i do plan on racing the truck at rudys like i have done every time i've gone. Should be trailering it down this time tho. Not because it will be fast with the s467 but because i have a tow rig now and now have the means to reliably transport a truck or two to NC safely...

Well the truck wasn't done in time for rudys and their is oil in the exhaust so i'm 99% sure the turbo needs seals so i'm taking that out and sending it to james at barder turbo to have it rebuilt.
