Apparently we are not both exactly on the same page, some differences in what we are perceiving as the normal work load vs what a particular tune/modification can produce when pushed to the max.
That truck went more years and miles with the engine mods than it did stock!
It spent most of its life hooked to a trailer with a load on it, never once did it give an issue besides a water pump. The transmission was salvaged and now resides in some local kids truck and is still going strong unlike many of them that came apart with just stock power.
By the way I don’t go to the truck shows to run my truck. I like to stop in see friends, have a beer and sometimes watch the happenings going on. My truck saw a dyno for tuning purposes only at a shop with just 3 people watching. I think my previous post is the first time I ever told anyone outside those 3 people what kind of HP it made at max. But remember we don’t all run around at max output and even bone stock I wouldn’t recomend it unless maybe your running something like my Detroit, Cat or a Cummins in a big truck but even they have limits in the tuning so they don’t self destruct with a bad driver.
