    This was the first time out with the new set up.

    Trip from Seattle, WA to Yakima, Wa- 3passes
    (2 @ 6%)

    Towing a 30' Mallard 5ver with dual slides and stand up bedroom (10K+)

    Last year stock truck over passes was 45mph with the pedal close to the floor.

    This year with the addition of 275's VA, PS and DTT's VB & TC (91%)


    All passes were a pleasure to pull 60-65mph @2/3 throttle egts 1000 @ 30lbs boost

    I would have gone faster but the wife was looking at me kinda of funny when I started to laugh and had the big grin on my face. [​IMG]#ad


    It is unbelievable how well these trucks can tow with a couple simple modifications [​IMG]#ad


    I believe to have found the ultimate towing combination for my needs that are safe and reliable.

    Once you have the transmission modification that can transfer the power of the Cummins to the ground and add a couple of fuel enhancers to the package its a whole new truck. [​IMG]#ad


    I would like to thank the NW BOMBers for all of there help adding the fuel enhancers and gauges and to Bill K and his crew at DTT for the transmission modifications.

    Thanks,
    Bob Wagner

    PS forgive my terrible grammar [​IMG]#ad


    PSS The HY35 turbo is plenty big for these modifications

    My mods are listed in my sig - my NEXT pull with our 24 foot fiver will reveal what the addition of a Power Shot 2000 propane injection setup will do... [​IMG]#ad

    Bob,

    Thank you for your reply and welcome in another post! I see why you think that I have made good choices. I also pull a King of the Road which tops out at 14,700 lbs. I finally have sufficient power to climb long grades with out saying, "I think I can, I think I can. " I know why you are smiling. It is a good feeling.

    Good traveling!

    regards,

    Ed

    1000F was at 30 PSI. outside temp 65

    This "tiny" turbo spools up very quick and cool the temps nicely [​IMG]#ad


    I am very happy with the HY35 [​IMG]#ad


    And that is with the stock exhaust [​IMG]#ad

    And The T/C is Pre Turbo [​IMG]#ad
    and yes I sell
    T/c"s so the T/C is good [​IMG]#ad
