This is my 2006 Dodge truck, bought it new. It has a straight 6, 5.9 cu. in. diesel and weighs in at a svelte 8500lbs! The truck is capable of 20 mpg but I'm not! It comes stock with 325hp and 600ft lbs torque stock. It has a built billet transmission, triple disc billet torque converter, Fleece aftermarket turbo, intake, exhaust, Kore offroad suspension and most important is the "Smarty" tuner. The tuner can add 400+ hp plus and an amazing amount of torque, that's what necessitated the billet transmission. The truck is close to 500hp and at least 800ftlbs torque. A quick shout out to Mike at Inglewood transmissions in California, great job Mike, truck runs like a champ!! This is a small burnout after Transmission install This is a photo of my stock turbo after a lttle 4 wheelin! Can you see the nut that is supposed to hold the turbine to the shaft? I found pieces of the impeller blown into my air filter. A normal 20 minute drive took me 2 hrs and at the last incline before my place I happened to look at my exhaust, holy shit!!!!! I had flames pouring out of the exhaust tip due to raw diesel fuel pooling in the exhaust system. A diesel designed for a turbo is more than gutless if it loses the turbo so it takes far more throttle hence more heat then you get a fire in your pipes!! After installing the new turbo, i had to be very light on the throttle till all of the fuel dissipated. This is my new turbo sitting on my seat, I was so anxious to open it!! So I've tried my best to save the rear tires after the new turbo installation but the acceleration just puts this big dumb ass grin on my face! People think I'm always in a good mood because I'm smiling so much when in fact it's because this truck gives me wood! When these tires are almost gone I'll video a really nice, long burnout
