I let my truck sit since Thursday without starting it and now my battery was totally dead this morning when I went to start it. The battery has been goin dead quite fast lately, I noticed it went dead when I was installing my fog lights and had the door open and interior lights on for maybe 2 hours at most. I thought that was a bit odd that it died so fast and now dying this fast just from sitting, I think its time for a new battery. I'll be starting a new thread to get some opinions.

Thats all you did.... noob. :jester:

Nice work! So can the SOTP feel any difference?

Yea, it's nice... I spent so much time & planning to make this engine a high RPM screamer to take advantage of the 3200rpm stall & 4.1 rear gears that I really wasn't paying any attention to the sub-2000rpm torque. And when I'm around town cruising with the TCC locked occasionally the engine would want to buck or surge.

Now that I lowered the peak power RPM and really juiced up lower end torque, no more problem

A little compound and wax should do it. That looks really good!
