My truck is the last of the old 7.3's, it doesnt' have an air-to-air(intercooler) When things sort out around here I gotta get one. I have a stout 4-step chip, ATS fast-spool exhaust side turbo, big downpipe, ATS triple lock converter, TYMAR intake, etc etc etc. Up on Donner, @ 5000 ft., loaded down I have lots more throttle than I have room on the Pyrometer. I would be willing to loose some manifold pressure to gain some EGT room, the net effect of a cooler charge at lower boost would probably be nil, and I could push the go pedal down more. Cindy wants me to quit screwing with it....but where is the fun in that?

Yes, we pulled the trans at about 50k and went thru it. The stock converter, with it's single lockup disc, was dying, and I didn't want to chance it. Best buddy owns a Tranny shop up here, 30 years in the bizz. It has all the good stuff, billet ATS triple-lock converter, HD clutches, big cooler, Mag-hytec deep sump pan, Hy-Torque ATF, etc, etc, etc. At max weight and pulling Donner, it gets to about 190, that is it. Around town never over 150. it is 10 years old and only has 81k on it, if I ever wear out the PSD, it'll get a 12-valve Cummins. I plan on keeping this truck forever. It is the only brand new vehicle I have ever purchased.
