So I'm just sitting on the couch bored as hell because there isn't much to do in Texas when there's ice and snow on the ground, and realized I haven't updated this post in a while....oooppss! My bad! This is gonna be a bit long, but here's where everything is today. Got the wideband sensor and guage as well as the boost controller wired up and working, even got the boost controller mounted in a little cubby so it's hidden when I want, but still visible and easily accessible as desired. Also got the exhaust cutouts on. And they're amazing. Hit the switch on the dash (behind the turn signal lever) and instant noise, flip the switch again and nice and quiet. They're surprisingly fast too. Added another switch on the dash for a traction control/stabilitrac disabler. Same setup as the harness from Shane Hinds, I just made my own and placed it behind the shift lever. Once I started to play with the boost controller I realized 2 things, 1) that it was really hard to build boost standing still on the footbrake. And 2) I was starting to lose low side fuel pressure when I started turning up the boost. Sooo.... I added a 535lph in tank pump. Easy drop in setup by Jose Zambrano. Got fuel for days now. Next up I got a ZL1 converter. I wanted slightly looser, but nothing wild since my engine is still 100% stock internally and I like to drive this truck around. This converter is perfect...slightly looser than the truck converter, and quite a bit stronger. Then just for good measure, I also added an 5" aluminum driveshaft. Major overkill, but now I no longer have to wonder if my ds is gonna be one of the ones to let go. I think they calculated the ratings on this shaft to be something like 5k ftlbs of torque, and over 380mph on the critical speed lol. Pretty sure it's gonna hold up in my truck. Truck goes back on the dyno sometime this week to get turned up and see what kind of power we can make. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

No sir no camber kit, just spindles and springs. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Doh! I meant caster, not camber. And I've seen no negative effects on my truck so far. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

There was no kit lower than 2/4 for 4x4 trucks when I lowered mine, so I used mcgaughys spindles and what I was told was a 1" spring. I ended up at 4" up front and liked it. Camber is how far forward or backwards the "hinge" that your wheels turn left or right leans....I hope that makes sense. And I'm not real sure what effect it has on handling.

I've got 4/6 on a 2016 4x4 rcsb, the alignment is close, but they couldn't get the caster within spec. Truck still drives grest, and I honestly can't tell that anything is off. Also maxtrac told me my spring was a 1" spring. Definitely a 2" because along with spindles I'm at exactly 4" in the front. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

None at all. Just cranked the front end up 1". My truck is a dually, but you should be fine as long as you keep the stock wheels, or at least don't run a ton of offset on aftermarket wheels. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

I'm running 295/60/20s with the front 1 inch higher than stock. Sorry I'm not more help with that exact size but I would bet they'll fit fine Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

As far as ride quality, just run the tires at 32-35 psi cold, and you'll never be able to tell the difference. Having something as critical as a tire being stronger than it needs to be is, in my humble opinion, a good thing. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

You wouldn't be able to use android auto or carplay, the USB jack won't handle the data bandwidth required. Everything else would work fine. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Looks great! On my 2016 5.3 I had to empty my elite catch can every 2500 miles, and yours looks about the same size. I was amazed how much oil it caught. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Dang that sucks. What a bummer. At least his pain is over. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Some day came real quick, because that info is useful to me right now! Lol I appreciate you taking the time to post. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Hopefully they do fit, but if those are the wrong ones they should let you know and show you the right ones. If you get the feeling they're just telling you anything to make the sale, go to a different distributor that you trust, and they'll set you up right. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

It may be a typo on the website. If possible I would contact the company and ask for clarification. Thats the only way to know 100% for sure. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

I have a roll n lock on my truck too. I haven't had any issues with it and love that it locks. Between that and my locking tailgate stuff stays safe and even going through a car wash, I've almost always had zero water get in the bed, and very little when some did get in.

Check out this website, I'm halfway thinking about switching over to a air/water intercooler setup just so I can do this...imagine having iat's in the 50 degree range in the middle of summer. https://fiinterchillers.com/ There are so many adjustable parameters available on these trucks that I'm almost afraid to edit anything myself. Not only vve, spark, and all that, but you've got the pita torque management crap too. Im glad I have a good tuner near me, so he can do the heavy lifting, then show me what I can adjust to make little tweaks and such for track days. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Dang, yeah you definitely gotta get a grip on those Temps. You ever considered an interchiller? Uses your ac system to cool the coolant in a air/water system. I need to spend some time with my laptop and get my scanner set up right. I've been a little lazy with all this heat lately Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

You know, im not 100% sure if there is a pid for the low side. I remember my tuner showing me the fuel pressure holding steady, and I thought he said low side, but i had a touch of dyno fever so I could be mistaken lol. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

If you have an mpvi2 you can run your own data logs and keep an eye on stuff with the hp tuners scanner. If you wanted to start trying ethanol, just start with 5 gallons with a full tank of 93 then data log it and watch the low side pressure. If the pressure holds, add another 5 gal and repeat until you have a full tank of e85. If the logs show good pressure, you're good, if it drops at any point, then go back to straight 93. Otherwise enjoy the extra power and crappy mileage with the e85 lol. I'd run a wideband sensor too just to be safe if your tuner hasn't touched the ethanol tables.

You should be fine with the intank pump for now, im running e85 on 7psi with no drop in low side pressure. Waiting to install my wideband and boost controller before I turn it up any farther. But to be honest, ive got a low side pump upgrade on my to do list also. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Looks awesome, can't wait to hear what you think after you get the tuning wrapped up. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

I haven't yet. At 7psi of boost I'm not seeing any loss of pressure on the low side. Its definitely on the to do list down the road, but for now its not necessary. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Thats probably a smart move. Second set of hands to at least get it set on there. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Also to whoever sensored my post, thank you. Im getting too used to fb and ig and forget to keep things family friendly on here sometimes. Sorry about that. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Couple toys came in the mail. Got the wideband guage mounted, no wiring yet. Im waiting on my new ypipe and cutouts so I can do all the wiring at once. I'm not looking forward to that part at all. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk
