Project Diesel Tuk (Updated 5/2)
Just put in a bunch of orders for some stuff I needed and tons of stuff I didn't need


Had Jon from JVG Motorsports order me some 20x10" American Racing Thug wheels. They're teflon coated, and I got them with a -25 offset. He also ordered me some 35x12.50 Mud Grapplers to go on there






Also I needed brakes so I ordered Powerslot Cryo-treated rotors and Hawk pads.

The guy gave me a great deal on a 4" MBRP straight-pipe exhaust, so I couldn't pass that up. He also had some Warn Manual Hubs on sale, and mine are pretty bad, so I picked those up as well.

In order to fit the tires, I'm going to order a Tuff Country 5" lift kit, and some Tuff country Swaybars. The truck should handle much much better overall, and I'm pretty excited to put it all together!

Yeah I'm pretty excited also... I'm trying to find out about needing the lift kit or not on the powerstroke forums... apparently they think I already have some kind of load helpers in the back...

There goes your 15 mpg. Should look cool though.

See that's the thing with diesels... I shouldn't lose much at all. I will gain some with the exhaust, and gain even more once I get the programmer. I should be up in the 15-18mpg range all said and done...

The tires will make you lose some mileage, I guarantee it. (Unless you already have mud tires or all-terrains now) But maybe the programmer will make up for any lost mileage)
