Just a little info for you guys on how the old girl performed on out first trip since installing Beans St. I injectors and the exhaust air guide from Diesel Power Products .
I was towing our 26 foot TT and had a bike in the bed and traveling across the northern tier of Wyoming, elevations are in the 4000 to 5000 foot range and some of the grades along the route are 7%+ for a mile or so. Ambient temps were +100°F and my foot was feeling heavy. I only took the tranny our of OD once or twice, and only clicked off cruise once or twice as well. This thing pulled like there was no tomorrow guys, I was dumb founded at what I had under the hood. My most memorable moment of towing was when I was going up a helluva steep grade coming out of Inyan Kara Creek (get yer maps out) up towards Sundance (yes, its name is where Billy the Kid's partner got his name from) Wyo, my guages said---- 1350-1400 EGT temp, 25+ psi boost, and tranny temps of 210 (thanks to Richter for the upgrades) and I was passing a SD at the time doing 75 mph . He was looking at me when I went by like WTF??????? and I was just ......
Driving like a complete maniac I averaged 10 mpg on the way over and while I havent yet topped off since returning I did better on the way home as I stuck to 65 mph all the way.
This all was with my old SCMT set to the tow perf. setting, I cant imagine how well this thing can and will run with a multi pos chip tuned for a set of Beans can perform!!! I Guess what I am trying to say here guys is that I couldnt be happier if I had a brand spankin new 05 in the driveway. This old gal got'r dun and it only cost me a grand total of $1500 in performance parts (thats about 2 1/2 payments on a new one) and I was smiling all the way to the bank!
