Lastly, got one more mod planned for next week and then a Juggernaut skid plate going on after the surgery date.

Any issues with that and the Carli setup? I want to add the Juggernaut to mine next but had heard it may have a fitment issue...

I don't think there will be an issue at all. I already installed the transfer case cover and will know for sure next weekend after DPF is removed

 

[Legmar]

Thank you my friend. I saw you revive your thread so I figured I better catch up too

Hey, that’s what friends are for!

 

[TellurideTremor]

Decided to paint the silver bracket in the driver's side wheel well to blend in better with the Carli shocks

So those are the interlocking blocks you were talking about for the mat.... that is freaking cool for cargo transport.

also that exhaust tube is suspiciously long

Man, it is very handy and the whole mat slides out when not needed. I love it.

Haha, yeah we will cut it back a tad

Was able to complete some exhaust work during a quick spring break trip, truck runs and sounds SO MUCH BETTER with 80hp tune and straight pipe. Went from 17.3 mpg to a high of 22.5 mpg on a 300 mile trip to visit a good friend. Mind you, that is running on 37x13.5s.

Added a little body armor and now I can join @Optimus🤖 in saying I am finally done.

Truck looks great, my wallet is upset with you

@Rodd187, whose tune did you end up going with? I have no doubt you did your research.

Haha, thanks man, I appreciate it. Unfortunately, that is the one question I don't have an answer for as it is a custom tune. Sorry about that

Decided to install the PPE Intercooler after seeing @Tugboat's post.

[Tugboat]

Outstanding install - like to know if you feel improvement to throttle response like I did. It seems the PPE inner cooler is keeping cold air temps to +30° ->34° above IAT.

Thanks buddy, so it is hard to say, I took the truck out tonight but had my family with me so I didn't really get on it. It does feel slightly more spirited but I should know more once I can get it out and really open it up. Thanks for suggesting this upgrade, it really wasn't bad as I had already replaced all the hoses and pipes in the past so was pretty familiar with the process.

It's all good, please keep us posted. My Pedal Monster is set pretty low City -4 and it'll break rear tires loose-
Somehow thinking you'll really enjoy putting pedal to the metal
