    I dyno'd my 2001.5 years ago(like 2003 or so) at Dynomite Diesel Products - Monroe, WA. That day Lenny the owner put down in the high 800's and 1400 +, with a 12V.


    Chris, what did your 2001.5 dyno at?

    Many of the previous years contestants returned year after year without touching the internals and were daily driven. These diesels can last a lot of miles at high power levels with proper tuning and supporting mods just as long as you don't tow with them at those higher power levels which a lot ignorant people did back in the day. Luckily, most modern tuners shift on the fly fuel mapping and you can go from tow to go with a flip of a switch.
