Thanks for all the info guys!! Right now I don't think I want any more money into the engine other than the religious maintaining of it👍 I don't wheel or tow anything major! I already have two electric fans and a spal control unit(might replace that unit) but other than that it has more than enough power for me and the electric fans keep everything nice and cool for my needs!


Has anyone installed a rack directing onto the roof? Or do most of you run a Yakima or Thule rack instead of drilling the roof?

I like that idea and will probably do that. But I also want some on the roof due to me camping during the spring and summer and would love to have a higher light to have on while setting up, and taking down camp.

With my rack and spare tire, my truck is 7'10" so I am limited on where I can drive and park. Hope this helped a little.
I like that idea with the duallys up top but I prob would run those on the sides or back and run a nice 48-50" up front! Basically I want to be able to light up the entire area around me!!

Well the reasoning for my suggestions isn't for more power. It's for safer power, increase efficiency and increased longevity of the setup. The bonus of it is added power thou. Cooler IAT2 and cooler tranny temps help over all performance and efficiency more than anything.

My old truck that was blown I had the tranny lines bypassing the radiator and routes into its own cooler with a fan. Temps never got over 185 even while towing a full weight mustang on a steel car hauler in bumper to bumper traffic on August. Because of that mod and that mod allow I feel is the reason it's still going strong after 120K hard miles!
