Dominator 66 on the way!!

[Tail_Gunner]

I finally gathered the bucks I needed, and called Bean's this morning.

I'm also getting a new pedestal w/o the EBPV actuator.

Now I just have to sit tight and see how long it all takes to arrive on a little brown truck.

FWIW: I plan on taking some pics comparing the early 99 stock turbo along side of the D66. I've never seen any pics posted. To this point, a D66 is kinda like Bigfoot, everybody's heard of it, but nobody's seen one.

Let us know Kent.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures and hearing how it runs.
Marry Christmas to you, Kent

Be sure to show us

I am kicking around the idea of a new set of squirter's, D66 and a intercooler. My truck has had all the power I needed until I added the camper and now at 16,000# + I am needing a little more getup and go. Let us know how it performs

Update:

I heard from Bean. Apparently, the 1.0 wastegated exhaust housings for the D66 are back ordered right now. I need the wastegated housing so I can retain my exhaust brake. It's a good thing I'm on lay-cation right now, being down to 1 vehicle in the house could otherwise be tough.

So for now, it looks like I have to wait. -popcorn

When they coming in? Hell just use your old housing.

TG- i didn't jinx you, i swear!

Don't know, he didn't say. Being on Bean's side of the counter as a RV parts guy, I can understand how the dealer is often caught in the middle between the supplier and an impatient customer.

Hell just use your old housing.

The stock turbine/exhaust housing is .84 or.87, I don't recall which number exactly. But the important point is that a D66 has a 1.0 housing which has less restriction and less EGT. It also spins the turbo slower. From what I understand, the D66 has a bigger compressor wheel which moves more air & builds more boost all while turning more slowly. If you try spining a D66 at a faster speed with a .84/.87 housing, I suspect you'll just end up breaking a shaft.

It's only been 3 days since I ordered it. I'm on lay-off until spring and it's gettin' friggin' chilly outside. I can wait a bit. My neighbor helped me get my new snowblower for my tractor home today so I'm no longer in a big hurry. I can wait a bit to get the right stuff.

I see, I was just curious. I have never really heard the specs on the 66 so I wasn't for sure.

Let it know how things go.
