That's one thing I miss about the Army was coming back from deployment and getting to use that years savings on some cool builds for my truck.

 

I saved money before coming out here knowing that I would spend it when i got back. I didnt wanna buy a bunch of stuff then not be able to use it!

 

Yeah that's true. After turning in my sensitive iteams and getting my 72 hour pass signed I always got a to my storage unit opened it up and take the truck for a spin. How much is having the goerned done by a trans shop gonna run you? I have read the goerend is a good setup and I don't feel like spending a ton on an crate ATS built transmission. Also good choice with the EFI live.

 

All of the internals are Goerends. But since they arent shipping full units right now or even taking orders I had someone build it for me. He just happens to be a buddy of mine and is local. Goerend uses him to build transmissions in this area when they cannot get them out. It comes with the same converter warranty and all just not the 3 yr/100,000 warranty.

It ran me right around 5700 for him to remove, build, and install it. Oh and the sweet paint jobarty018:

 

May I ask who the Builder is? You can pm me if you don't want to say here.

 

Wilson tire in Rising Sun.

I cant say a bad thing about him or his shop.

 

Awesome, had my truck there this summer. Some of my friends take their trucks to him and have nothin but good things to say about him, and I also agree with that. Wouldn't hesitate to go there again.

 

Yeah there are a lot of nice trucks that go in and out of there. My last truck was almost a twin to his.

 

Should be a fun exciting build buddy... :thumbsup:
What have you heard or why are you going with the sump? I haven't heard much about it...

Thanks for you service... I got back in May from my 2nd tour in afghan and got out in July.

 

I am going with the sump because I had a heck of a time with the drawstraw on my last truck. This way I dont have to worry about 1/4 tank issues or it loosing suction. Plus its easier on the Air Dog since fuel is being sucked from the bottom and not pulled from the top.

 

Crazy... Im in the same hole and get home around the same time too. We have very similar builds. Except I think I'm going manual pump and Vulcan drawstraw since I off road a lot. Didn't know that goerend wasn't building trannies...I was going to order one next week.. Nice build!! I'll be watching your progress!!

 

Here's a picture I was sent. Wilson dropped these studs in me for a great deal! I had these installed to save me some time when I get home. I've got an appt. To get on the dyno and don't want to miss it!

if you make it to a place called Fob Fenty let me know and you can come over and check out my compound. Good luck and stay safe. I got 6 months left in this suckhole.

 

Ball valve? You lost me.

Sent from your moms house

 

I have never had that problem changing filters.

 

With a sump you'll prob need one unless there are some check valves in the AD set up? When you pull the filters your tank will drain with a sump AFAIK unless you put a ball valve on the outlet of the sump headed to your pump. Sorry DODGE74 had to give him a heads up, he might give me a heads up one of these days.

 

Yeah that's very true. I can see that happening. Maybe I will add one when I install it all. I haven't worked all that out yet. I need to lay it out and decide exactly what I am doing.

What are you expecting on the dyno?

 

I would like 500. But its going to be a stock turbo so I will take it to whatever I can and still keep it safe to drive with everyday.

 

Did you ever hear anymore information about the 66? Do you think it will do 500?

 

AGP led me to believe that they wanted me to run one of their chargers and do a review and right up on it so that they could have some solid data. That was a few days ago and I have not heard anything back from them since then. So if I dont hear anyhitng I will keep my stocker.

Guess I missed that apparently my reading comprehension isnt so great. How long do you plan to run a stock charger?

I plan on running my stock charger for the winter and possibly the spring. Then I would like to step it up to something larger. I like what I hear on the s467.7 with some 15-hp injectors. I def dont want to go as large as Jim because I want to be able to detune the truck to arounf 600 for daily then crank it up when I hit the track. But thats all in the air.

The 67 will do you good with the 150's plenty of air for what you want to do.:thumbsup:

 

As long as it will go low 11s, make at least 800, and still have decent driving manors.

 

Did you see this video.... Just to give you an idea of how it drives...

 

Yea, I saw that one. I have spent enough money on this thing lately. I need to take a break before I start getting into turbo and injectors and manifold. Plus valve train lol.

When I got here the truck had a stock trans and nothing more then a intake and exhaust and 3 gauges.

 

.... Tell me about it... I bought my truck in January and it was pretty much all stock besides 2 gauges that got removed, 4 inch mbrp exhaust and a intake... Talk about going over board.

 

Yeah well I sold a truck that was modded to where I thought I was done. I decided I wanted a laramie 3rd den so I found this one. And started over.

I have been thinkibng about adding a water/meth kit but Idk if I will be pulling at all and cant have that pulling.

 

^ that's me... I'm scared if I let this one ever go, ill just get another and start all over..

 

Not me... After everything I put into this truck... I will be buried in it... I promise... No loans all cash and a angry wife... So trust me... If it goes... So do I... The wife would kill me.Im surprised she's put up with everything she has this year...:S:

 

My girlfriend loved my last truck. She loved the stack and the smoke. Everything that started to annoy me. She calls this truck the old grandpa truck because its leather and no cab lights no stack and is slow haha
