Cabs everywhere! LOL, looking good man, ready for some video after all the installs :cheers:

Nice build jake! I'll be dropping off mine at PSE this saturday.

sweet. Dorians a great guy to have running that place and him, jorge and AB do great work.

if only you were gonna drop it off friday haha

That awesome!... Really wish I didnt have to do mine cab on, but oh well! Be nice to have a reputable shop nearby, but unfortunatly I dont so its just me, my buddies and some pizza and drinks usually!

Cant wait to see how you like it!......bet you cant either!

Lol.. Maybe go out for a beer.. Test that 6.0. :driver:

Damn skippy. Might be back round Houston Saturday and I'll be driving the hell outta the truck forsure

awesome man! cant wait ti hear about how it drives when its done.

sounds like a good build. ill probably start gathering parts for mine here soon.

So I went and dropped off my truck, dam jake thats a sweet ass ride you got there!

thanks man. ill get to creep on your ride when mines running right again :(

so its still not done yet :(

got a bum aeromotive regulator so another one was to be sent overnight friday evening. should be here tomorrow and hopefully done before tuesday so i can get it back and drive it..

it was such a tease to hear it fire and lope until it lost fuel pressure and died. makes me want a shift on the fly lope tune haha jk

:facepalm:

Welp.

Getting one of these...

Well hurry up jake, so they can start on mine. :jester: jk

haha. he got it running enough to pull it out of the shop atleast. the lift mine was on already has a cab up on it.

Yea Dorian told me about your truck.. Hope you get it running soon. I bet yout anxious to take it for a spin.

that i am. were going to try and bypass the cat filter to see if its causing too much restriction and go from there. may have to move it to post pump if it is otherwise ill be waiting on the A1000

This build is going on FOREVER! I'm startin to think you're yanking our chain. Do you even have a truck? :jester:

your telling me haha

I want a whistley turbo...

bwahahahahaha

So do you need the A1000 to fget it running or just the regulator? Or is it just a while were doing it might as well add the A1000....that's usually how I end up spending my money!

Bet you really can't wait now!!!!

Were pretty sure that removing the secondary fuel filter killed me using the stock pump.

The new lines etc a1000 and regulator are at PSE and it should be up and running tomorrow for sure. I'll go get it sat am before the show that's right by the shop unless I get antsy and go get it tomorrow. Very ready to drive the crap out of it.

O and don't be like that guy blowing through a gallon of coolant every other week and think studs will fix it. Haha

My money says you get antsy! I couldnt wait I know!

Hope it runs awesome for ya, and cant wait to hear how it runs!

Ya.....when hw said he was going through a gallon every 2 weeks I about crapped! I have maybe puked a tablespoon of coolant, just had a tiny trail running down the resivoir, and that was right after I had it in for service and they topped everthing off. I was wondering if they overfilled it maybe???? Although I know it builds pressure slowly so I know it has a minor issue. Up till then I thought it was ok since it had never puked, so I was thinking about the 1 at a time approch.

That was 4 months and 10 thousand miles ago, never puked again, coolant level stays good and temps are normal according to insight cts. So I am torn, cause when though its not puking, I know it builds up to 16 psi in the coolant system while towing after about an hour or so.

Thats why I asked him if he had checked psi before this....it would be interesting to know if there was any difference. Do I think its going to fix his problem, no. But I was thinking if it helps his problem at all, I would feel better about that approach to mine, since honestly if I hadn't checked the pressure I wouldn't have a clue that anything is wrong since it doesn't go through coolant and doesn't puke anymore.

But....i also already have the gasket set sitting in the garage, and I hate doing things halfa$$ed I will end up tearing it all down I know.

Anywho...i hope you get a nice weekend in your truck!!!

Any news on your truck yet?

There was an event that came up. Progress stopped monday and didn't resume till today due to a family emergency at the shop.

Hoping soon but not expecting anything just yet.

I know your pain jake.. Still waiting on my sh** from elite. Hope yours gets done soon. anxious to know how it rides.

i should just tell dorian to give me your keys since your truck still runs until mines done haha

Haha.. I think I need a new inspection sticker tho.

It's only 15 bucks. I could handle that. Need to borrow my uncles truck tonight to move some furniture for company coming in tomorrow

Plus this just reminded me that the inspection is out last month on the tahoe

Well then get me one. Lol.
Plates are almost due also.. Hope it gets done by then.

Get me dem keys and if you got an insurance card in there ill hook it up while putting it through its paces this weekend. haha might be a bad idea though since then ill really want a newer truck

Well if you can find a place that'll pass my truck.. With the dark tint and all. Lol.

Hoping they both get done soon for ya guys! Wish I could get th rest of my $$$$ saved up o I could start on mine! Seems something else always takes it first! :)

picked up my new loaner truck last night and its my uncles 6.4 eclb xl "farm" truck. i should have never done this. its stock so power is meh but dammit those mirrors are the TITS.

So Jake, we know what the next mod is now huh

I have access to a pair but at 600 plus the switches and wiring etc plus getting a company truck and not driving the 250 near as much starting next month it might wait a while.
