My truck wasn't a daily driver. It sits in my shop during the week and usually onlycomes out

I'm working on that now. I figure by the time I'm done I'll be well into 10K. I'll for sure being doing some internal work. Don't know about twins... maybe down the road. It's going to be costly enough just getting back on the road.
I'm hoping by at least the end of the month I'll be cruizin'

wow that sucks! any idea what the built motor is going to run you? I'd assume your going to be installing cams & larger turbo or twins?

Hey here's another thought... you swapped in a bigger innercooler which caused a lag in spool up?? (not 100% sure if I remember that right or not), could the bigger cooler have played a role in intake air velocity (slowing it down a tad) contributing to the problem? not an expert, just tossing it out there.

that's a good theory Steve but, I don't think that play in the cause. The spool up was good. The cooler didn't make a lot of difference. I see what you're saying though. I'm pretty sure it was the stock turbo. She just couldn't handle it any more captain !
What happen is my foot shoved the fuel to the floor and I thought it was hitting the brake....
yeah... that's what happen.

warranties also do not state that you may not test the vehicle for performance, nor mod it. each dealer can choose to refuse service based on a particular mod or problem but it had better be ON COMPANY LETTER HEAD IN WRITTING AND SIGNED BY THE HIGHEST MAGAER ON DUTY!
Doesnt Dodge advertise that the trucks will out perform the competition? you were testing their credibility!
