Um..Speak for yourself. I'm not putting Lockers, heavier axles, huge tires, etc on my tow rig. Either way, I don't care. I love my sami, not my tow rig. And besides, I never said it was the best ever, you're the one that just started critizing the liberty.

your add lib not mine , most of us just want a clean , safe, comfortable, dependable rig to get there and back in.


some day we will let you play with the tonka toys.

Is the Duramax intercooler larger ? If so how much gain did you see from it ? Nice truck too .
Thanks. I installed the intercooler at the same time I did the Cummins conversion so I have nothing to compare it to. I got the I/C cheap on eBay. Below is an older link to the conversion.

X2 as long as it's safe and gets him there. I have to admit that mine is becoming more of toy than a tow rig.

That is a cool truck. what kind of mileage do you get with it? What kind of power is it makin?
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Thanks. It has never been on a dyno because my stock clutch won't hold and it needs more turbo or water injection to control EGTs on the top end. It got 20mpg before with the stock Cummins. Now after mods it is around 17. This is on my 120 mile round trip to work with both HWY and stop and go miles.

I usually don't have to tow mine, but when I do, I put it up on the back of my 79 F350 dually with a 12' 6" flat bed.
They're right! It IS a jeep thing....I sure feel sorry for them!
