I finally got to take the Kodiak out after doing all the work to it. 45% injectors, y bridge, updated turbo mouthpiece, new seats, additional trans cooler and goosebox on the trailer. To say it was a pleasurable tow would be an understatement. My 5th wheel isn’t heavy. In fact, the truck weighs more haha. Still grossing about 20k. Took the drive in the heat 5 hours north of Vegas. Highest coolant temps were 230* and just touching 1400* egts on this particular hill. I need to take some fueling out of these injectors for sure. I took a little out for the drive home and it helped. But finally headed in the right direction with this truck. Wifey enjoyed the trip too. She enjoys all the room in the cab.

Picked up a Fitbit on the 7th.. my arm generally rides likes this in the semi. By 4pm I had ~23,000 steps with only 2-3 hours of actual walking, up at 415, left the yard at 6am.. driving an air ride semi truck, and rough roads, Michigan the steps counted faster than Ohio 🤦🏻‍♂️
Step counter jumps 5-10 counts at a time

Yeah, those work when they shouldnt. Vibrations while driving throw them off. The kids bought me one and I found out the same thing.

And one boost leak check later, I need an intercooler. It’s got a crack at one of the mounts by the hot side. Wish me luck.

That happens to us to even in my Dmax. Then when my wife was pushing a stroller or at the grocery store pushing the cart it doesn't count them....lol
