I would do either a N/A lq9 souped up or twin turbo a mild built lq9 :D

 

But all that is expensive lol

What gear ratio gears you looking at? If you plan on going with bigger tires in the future gear for those cause regearing is $$$

I do a good bit of driving too and on my 35's currently with 4.88's it sits at 2k rpm at 60 mph. Not that bad and it's really snappy. It would be equivalent to a stock truck with 4.10's

This is the difference I'm going from deep 12s to shallow 10s

Here's how they fit

Overall they aren't anything special I'll just have to deal with it if I don't want a giant box in my back seat anymore.. I'll miss the deep sound but I'll enjoy the space.

I did the same thing as you except I had to go deep into specs to get the most out of my old shallow mounts. Your subs are probably going to rub and hit against those flap things that fold down with your seats. Mine did and I actually removed those two flaps and that grey trim piece to save even more room. Not sure if you did this also but I used the jacks screw down point and drilled a hole to accommodate it inside and then bolted it down to get it added to insurance incase it was ever stolen. My system consisted of two Kicker 10in compVT's, new model is Comp RT, with a kenwood KAC-9105D. Those things hit HARD and never quit. Was the best set up I had achieved, by myself, and I miss it. Never tried the pioneers so I cannot give you any pointers of the reliability or performance. Hope all goes well!

They suck I can't hear them and when I do they sound hollow and bad. I'm not at all impressed. And the reviews were good.

How are they wired?

This ^^^ and what are the final dimensions of the box internally? What is the amp pushing as well? In case you didn't know, there is a 7 day break in period for the subs, at least, that is what some manufacturers recommend, some even longer. Pushing them hard too soon could cause a sub to kick the bucket. Moderate level should work. You will notice change and if not, send them back and grab the newest Kicker shallow mounts.

I usually order from sonic electronix, best place to get stuff IMO, they honor their 30 day warranty then they will actually honor the manufacturers warranty by allowing you to send them the defective speakers then they ship you a new set so you don't have to wait. Just have to contact and request a return or swap out. Box isn't ported anywhere is it?

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
