Nick,
I drove it to work tody finally, and I have to say that the turbo is much louder. If I roll up the windows to get rid of some of the exhaust noise I can really hear it!! I think other people can hear it too
!! ahaha.

RE: NEW CUMMINGS 5.9 OWNER
about the filter. . .I'm useing the NAPA 2790 BHAF. I have gone about 25,000 on this filter and it is just starting to look like the stock filter did at only 8K. the 2790 may be a bit more expensive, however the filter has already lasted more than 2x the life of the stocker.

That was pretty funny you mentioning the "G". I noticed right now when I clicked on the header and said to myself why in the hell did I put a G in there??? Thanks for going easy on me ;o)
I am in love with this truck already and not sure I wanna get started doing all of the mods but most definitely exhaust, filter & synthetic (a buddy of mine runs Chevrons Delo and he likes it any thoughts?

Cummins and everyone I talked to on line says to wait 30K miles before going to synthetic oil. I would wait on that. I have only replaced my muffler with a MBRP and just installed a Quadzilla XZT. She's got enough power for me.
I would still like to do stacks, but it's so impracticle, (read I still haven't convinced myself yet) 
. Good luck with your new ride, and......[sm=ttiwwp.gif]

I will have pictures starting tomorrow ;o)
I was planning on switching over at 10k miles but will wait longer if that's what is best for my new ride. My daughter (10 years old) named my new truck "Optimus Prime" because it is king of all trucks she says. I just took her to see Transformers The Movies which she loved and well you know the rest of the story which I thought was pretty funny.
