May you never have to work on it... That looks packed in there tighter than the diesel engines. Nice truck! I'm excited to hear how you like it.
Awwww heck'n yes!

It actually doesn't look that bad in person. The air box and intake tube full up a lot of space. Once you pull that off, you have a ton more room.

So talk to me about the dual alternators? Redundancy? What on earth are you going to do with all those spare amps? Save them and sell them back to dead Optima owners?

I have no idea, but a man I trusted said I should get them because it's cool so I got them. That's literally how I decided that option. 😂So talk to me about the dual alternators? Redundancy?

Because I got the factory gooseneck package, I also have 7way and 4 way plugs in the bed. I'll sometimes use those for actual RV stuff, but it also means I can easily run accessories like a fridge or a massive Tesla Coil in the bed.

Question is, how many ARB fridges could you fit in the bed?So talk to me about the dual alternators? Redundancy? What on earth are you going to do with all those spare amps? Save them and sell them back to dead Optima owners?
A lot more if he would make it a flatbed!

Good point. There’s also the 12v to AC110v options… you could fab the flatbed for your truck, WITH your truck. 😂

Went for a drive to Delta and back today. The Burger Barn there is pretty fantastic.
Averaged 16.4 MPG for the day. We stayed on the back roads and kept it under 70, mostly.

If he doesn't have anything that weighs that, it could be easily arranged to haul that
Interested to hear about that myself.

I'm assuming that headers, cam, heads etc. will be added as they become available?

Those are all available, but I probably won't mess with this motor.I'm assuming that headers, cam, heads etc. will be added as they become available?
The dump trailer with tractor and attachments is about 9,500. I towed that back and forth from Eagle Mountain to Grantsville last weekend via 5 Mile Pass. Lots of medium grades on that route and it had no problem maintaining 67 mph. I averaged 9.8 mpg for that part of the tank.
I also have 38' 5th wheel that weighs 15k. I only tow that a few times a year, just back and forth from our recreation property at the beginning and end of the season. It's about 130 miles each way.
