ARCHIVE Wits' End- If turbo isn't for you, what about going diesel?

[NLXTACY]

After a whole lot of reconsidering, more than I should have for this, I’ve decided on just going Cummins red. It’s anodize so it won’t be exact but it’s red. It could be “redder” if I polished it first but I’m not going to do that. It’s just going to be sandwiched and disappear for a few 100k miles under the truck.

The modified input shafts have started arriving. The shafts were packaged like crap but luckily no damage. I’ll be redoing all of the packaging to make there are no potential issues.

The entire kit should be ready in about a week or so.

after having my lc in the sierras, in the snow, I found out that the stock 1fz DOES NOT do well for a 6500 pound tank.

How many more puzzle pieces are you going to make for the 6BT/NV4500 swap?

Just curious, why not use the stock box? Stock diesel box is very similar to the gasser.
