Sounds like a oiling issue?

Anyhow, I've been real happy with the 5000. The 42 is probably the way to go for real big numbers, but it may be a tad harder to lite. If I was buying a new charger, It would be the 42. It probably has lower drive pressure.
The 5000 has good street manners. On a heavy truck you might not be so happy. A loose converter would make the 5000 a lot friendlier on the street.
As far as power, it will get your attention. Diesel Pilot is coming down tommorow and we are taking Freighttrain to the dyno. He's gonna have some seat time on the street as well. I'm sure he'll give you his opinion after he drives it.:D

off topic, steve, do you have a moates roadrunner ecm in your truck? Just wondering as I imagine it would be really handy tuning on a dyno.
