It's probably going to need to be stripped down to a bare chassis and put on a frame machine. There is no way possible to see slight bends with the naked eye.

A frame jig or table I've seen, yes.

It's going to be difficult to straighten a frame with everything attached lol
Since you said it was a front end crash I figured the very front of the frame would be problematic. Most shops would wanted a front stripped of the doghouse, core support, etc

****,they didn't mention that when I talked to them or the mechanic that noticed it.. the frame is bent from jumping it on accident,the whole hitting the ditch thing came later lol. I might pull the trans crossmember and beat it back into place for now,it hasn't effected the way the truck drives at all

Wastegates just busted my wallet. 580 for two 38mm wastegates.

Will have to wait until next paycheck to get stainless pipe.

Add in a bov and coolant lines. Another 580. My FI regulator had a coolant line, so those fittings cost a bit more.

-10 drain. -3 feed.

Yeah project boost is put on the back burners. Had to drop the 03 off at the trans shop this morning. It shifted from 1 to second and there was nothing there.. Doing a complete over haul with a new billet converter and larger trans cooler.. Hoping for another 190K from it..
