thanks guys for some reason my signature isnt showing up. The truck has a 5" lift with 37" toyos, , 4" Diamond Eye TBE to a 6" tip, Denny T II pin, Amsoil Bypass, BHAF, Kelderman air ride, 75 gal aux. tank in the bed. I just ordered a Borgeson steering shaft and a 3200 spring as well.

If you haven't already done it, you might try removing the high idle screw and switching places with the throttle return spring and pump linkage, so you can get a lot of extra travel. When I did that, it was worth nearly 500rpm of extra fuel for me, or about as much as a 3200 spring, but I didn't have to take the pump apart!

What kind of trans is in it?

Lets get some pics of your house and the scenery behind it!!

 

[firstgenW250]

I might try that JQ, i am a bit intimidated about taking my pump apart. Craig that is my shop. my house is next door

 

[firstgenW250]

oh and it has the 727. Sometime down the road when it goes out it'll get a NV4500

I love your truck

PM me if you need advice on anything....I've seen non-lockup transmissions survive 500-700rwhp, so if you don't want to get rid of the 727, let me know, they're cheap (comparatively) to build. If you are stuck on wanting to switch to a manual, I understand that as well.

I can also help on power too, I created a thread a while back on our website for that purpose....
