Lol, that dyno has been "around".

Reece, what happened? I didn't see that you were coming down until just now. But I was at the track tonight, and didn't see you there. Just wondering what's up. :confused:

Just made it back to Fairbanks. Would of been really happy to go to the track. Pretty bent about that Dyno and I will leave it at that....My trans has to come out again not due to my trucks fault or my own.If you have a diesel I probably would stay away from there.
I will get the trans out tomorrow parts ordered monday and hopefully back to the track Sunday.
Only pull that was sort of worth a shit was 713HP only making 45psi when on the street it made 70psi on the way down. This was on a very mild tune.
I am pretty sick of pulling my trans this year LOL

Awesome. I let a couple of guys I work with know you had it. But no one was looking for a trailer or bed. Glad you got rid of it though. :thumb:

Found a cold front a while back. Got it put on, and relocated my ambient air temp sensor to behind the front bumper opening. Works perfectly, I'm very happy.

Yesterday I finished up installing my high idle switch. At the same time, I decided I'd install a switch for future off-road lighting. The red led switch for high idle, the blue led switch for lights(that will trigger a relay).

Well, I've spent a little bit of time on her recently, and a few bucks too. She now has a full sound system and Escalade handles (inside & outside), compliments of my 1500.

I also added an Edge CTS Insight, Pyrometer, and EFI Live DSP5 controlled by the Insight. After a few dollars at the car wash yesterday, I was able to scrub off a couple layers of Alaskan winter.

Here's what she looks like today. :angel:

Next on the agenda is installing my airbag compressor & gauge/switch setup, and installing a 5th gear lockout switch. After all that, I'll pick up a set of extending tow mirrors. I remember telling myself that this one was gonna stay stock....

Nice truck :thumb: Got any pics of the inside Escalade handles? They're the chrome ones right?

Yeah, they are. I'll get a pic for you and post it up. :D

Here you go. Sorry for the crappy phone pics, the sun is blaring this afternoon.
