WOW, you are making amazing progress on the WJ, buggy, and the truck, all at the same time. Do you ever go home?

 

[skippy]

I dont go home near often enough it feels like, haha but I have a very understanding wife that supports me more than she should and when I get motivated to work on stuff she toughs it out cause she knows it doesnt last long

I installed my new intake this weekend and you can definately tells that it breathes better, It spools up alot faster and harder than it ever did with the factory intake. It is kind of noisy and hopefully it doesnt get annoying on long drives. Now I need to get to hooked up to my heavy trailer and see if it helped my EGTs like I am hoping for.

I ran that same intake on my 5.9 when I had it. It definitely helps it breath better, but I don't remember it making big difference on my EGT's when I was under load.

I didnt expect it to honestly but I was hoping for it, and I knew I couldnt install a larger turbo without an intake of some sort. I have the turbo already I really just wanted to do the intake by itself and see the individual gains of each modification

WooHoo my driver seat cushion that has been on back order for 3 weeks finally showed up so that means the leather is getting installed this coming tuesday

Congrats, you will love them.

While they are fixing your seats, I might have them look pretty hard at some of the plastic adjuster thingies. My trucks' broke on me (I'm a big guy but I didn't think I was that big) while driving one day and I just about killed me/someone else due to the cheap assed seat recliner mechanism. Replacement part was like $75 or something? Good insurance for at least the drivers seat if I ever had another Dodge of that era (not likely)

Well I got my new Leather seats installed yesterday along with the seat heaters and new driver seat cushion. I am so stoked on how well the katskin turned out. There are couple places where it doesnt really fit the cushion 100% but the installer assured me thats normal due to the new covers fitting so tight, after a week or so of it sitting in the sun and my ass working them into place they will settle in and look even better. the seat heaters also work better than any factory units I have used. All in all I would recommend Katzkins to anybody looking to spruce up there vehicle. I also didnt realize how bad my driver seat cushion really was. I bet I sit about 2 inches higher in the truck now.

I will post pictures later today

So now you can lower your booster chair and feel like a big boy!
