@burningman, your sig says it all.
Don’t see you hauling the TC on the GMC and your “newer” diesel has, wait, what?
Tuned, injectors (guaranteed, or at least it should), built trans to overcome that weak chit, gear vendors? Lol, thought 86 was the pinnacle of trucks and you added more gears to your ‘99 and exhaust brake.
So in all, you’ve added an easy 10grand givertake just in parts to get your truck closer to performing like a newer diesel does right off the car lot….and you do your own work.
Someone who doesn’t could put a 30% down payment on a new diesel just with parts and labor for your “mods.” And would still have a old floppy, ill handling truck with little brakes, drums in back, loud and with a VP pump. The CP4 of the 90s, lol!
Just sayin…..
To be fair, I understand cars, I like trucks and modding both. But I don’t get lost in the past!
