Kind of off topic guys, but bear with me for a moment. On Wednesday I Reenlisted into the Marine Corps for another 4 years. Upon reenlistment I was entitled to a few incentives, including, 21 days off, 60 promotion points, choice a duty station, and a nice little chunk of change in one lump sum.

With my bonus check, I am going to be paying off the truck and the couple other small debts I have (credit card, and boat), then I am going to be putting a nice amount into savings/investments, and lastly, some long overdue mods to the truck.

There are a TON of things I want to do, but Ive narrowed it down to 3 to start off with, and that I feel are most important. these are things that will be happening soon. #1 is gears, #2 is torque converter, #3 is lift spindles to replace the spacers that i hate. and Ill prolly throw an e-fan in there somewhere too, its cheap and easy.

so yeah, just a heads up to you guys.

 

Thank you for your service!

And nice truck, too. Good luck with the mods!

 

ditto, thank you!

but damn, that's a big fat check to be doing ALL that. with the gears and the torque converter, you better save some money for tires

 

Good choices IMO. A cam wont cost much either BTW.

 

thats also up pretty high on my list. i actually might go for that instead of the spindles, because i just remembered i have to get new wheels to run the spindles. and wheel spacers arent an option imo

 

Great choices on mods. They will certainly wake the truck up thats for damn sure

 

i know im going with 4.56s for sure. why go anything else right? i could go 4.88 being 2wd, but im never going over 35" tires, so thats out of the question. now, i gotta start doing research on tq converters, and possibly cams. im looking for low end tq mostly, i tow at least once a week. and if i do go with a cam, i need something that doesnt require long tube headers(illegal in ca) i can go shorties though. maybe something i can get running on a dsp canned tune? can you guys point me in the right direction?

 

im pretty sure the comp 260 is a good low end cam that will run on a canned tune

also, thanks for your service.

 

krc 206, comparable to the comp 260. ask hammer, or maybe he'll chime in. he was on a quest for exactly the same thing you are, low end torque. he went a little extreme and got the 206 with a custom grind to get even more low end, but I think the 206 can run on a canned tune.

 

thanks for the info, i will definitely look into both the krc and the comp. i will probably also call up the guys over at inertia, and see what they have to offer. maybe hammer can chime in as well.
