Billy has done some tuning with the big injectors in the Hemi cars. But, it remains to be seen if he can do 20psi boost tuning in the Hemi trucks. Mark is listening and following his engine builder advice. :thumb:
We shall see.

Wait a minute. Didn't you set up a tune for Mark's truck Keith?

Just an update..... All back together, up and running, with a soft tune & data logging. Currently trying to finish my break in. I'm moving into my new house next weekend then we'll be getting the ATS valve body swapped out with the new co-pilot so testing can begin. Since I have to go to the transmission shop to do the relearn, I'll see how much they'll charge me to swap out the valve body.... I'll keep you posted as things progress.
Sorry Keith for the misunderstanding, my fault. You would be doing the tuning if Billy did not fulfill as promised! I'm glad to know someone has my back in this build. Thank you!!

Sounds like you are close to testing. Looking foreward to a datalog showing boost.
Almost lost it all today....... Spent 2 hours in a mud ditch on the side of I-95 and 4 hours in the driveway cleaning off all the mud that got squashed into every crevice of this truck.... Unfortunately this truck has put me in a bad positions twice now since I have owned it and has wore out its welcome I think it's time to move on.... I will be pulling it apart putting in a stock motor and transmission and putting it for sale..... Unless someone wants to make me a nice offer.....

I was trying to get on that short Entrance Ramp from 210 on to I-95 had a tractor trailer on my left cars in front of me and behind me try to give it just a little bit of gas and the *** end started to swing around and I had all I can do to steer away from the tractor-trailer and the light pole I drove it down in the grass and slid a good hundred feet.... Scared my wife to death she will probably never get in this truck again..... It has put me in a bad predicament twice now and it won't happen a third time...

I'm sure you had to listen to it all the way home... :hide::hide::hide:
Actually she never said a word she was very thankful I was able to keep us out of the side of the tractor-trailer and not into a light pole..... I had it flat bedded back to the house did not want to take a chance with it on the road not knowing if I tore any of the oil lines brake lines or turbo off I had no idea what had happened underneath.....

Respect the power of these trucks when they have modded engines and more so when their turbocharged. That's the main reasons why I'm turning down and bleeding off the boost on the turbo system for safe street driving.
Went to go around a slower moving rig in the rain. The truck jumped into boost when I didn't want it too. The back of the truck kicked out while doing 75mph. Was able to get it straight again by letting off the gas. All the traffic around me slowed way down. It got my attention to say the least.

Sounds like a good save. Slick road is a no winner with a soupped up pickup.... take her to a open parking lot and let her play...

You could put the engine and trans in the 03. That way you have the weight to help hold the truck to the ground. Use the engine and trans from the 03 to put the 05 back to stock.

Been there before never in a ditch but sliding and spinning around on the roads yes! Glad you didn't wreck it ditch is safe and your pretty straight in there so that's good to! Don't sell it or demod it to much into that truck just gotta watch how you drive it is all! That wot part throttle is what likely got you and in the rain it can be a real fun time trying to steer for sure.
