Picked up my truck from Danville on the 18th. It's been a long project, but the truck is absolutely beautiful. Big thanks to Nathan for the twin kit and Mark and Larry at Danville for getting everything else together. Also big thanks to Rick at ProFab.
We couldn't get it to stick at anything above 1000 rwhp, so that's what I'm calling it for now. This setup should lay down a couple/few more hundred on fuel only. I'll have it back on another dyno down here in Texas soon.
Professional photo shoot coming soon so I'll wait until then to post pics of the whole setup. Btw, this is my daily driver.
It's always been my daily driver. I commuted in Dallas in it with the last setup that was around 800 rwhp. I'll also use it to tow my WS6 and SS camaro to the drag strip. So I'll probably run it down the 1/4 too.
i have always loved that truck. Almost bought one similar but with 230xxx miles i stayed away from it. Anytime you post pics i check it out. Congrats on the build. If you ever wanna sell that thing shoot me a pm :drink
I put a lot of miles on it today. It's funny to look in the mirrors and see people taking pictures of the stacks with their cell phone. I'm sure the statement made when they send that pic to their friends is "Look at this *******."
Sweet I love a built truck that gets daily driven, my buddies Scheid twined dodge 948hp at rear wheels just sits in his shop. Diesels are ment to be on the road!!! Congrats and what a bad asssssss truck. PS.. Texans rule, I'm orginally from Galveston TX.
Congrats on that awsome built, I have been waiting to see that motor out of Danvilles floor and your truck. Larry and Mark are first class !!!!!! :rockin
That is an awesome ride, I like the fact that you drive it. Never did understand why people fix up vehicles and then let them sit. Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chase, I'll be in Victoria on Saturday getting my WS6 tuned, but I'm towing it down there with the dually.
I was anxious to get this build done, but at least the engine had a nice place to sleep in Danville's front room. I've driven it almost every day since I got it home. Using it for runs to the parts store and running other errands.
Still trying to talk my wife into letting me swap the drivetrain into her ECSB, but she says I'm not allowed to touch her truck anymore.
Two degrees in accounting, worked full time while getting the masters in taxation. No steady girlfriend or wife during that time and split bills with a lot of roommates. Trust me, paying out the final bill on this truck sucked up the rest of my savings. If anything breaks, the truck will be sitting until I'm out of school for the 3rd time around.
nice. I was good at accounting in high school but i cant stand a desk job. I wasnt implying that you were handed everything, just really curious what you did as i am trying to find a career path
damn nice truck. I thought twins with 650hp would be nice. lol
