New from central Tx area

Well I've been on the site a short time and it has tons of good info. I'm always so busy I don't get much time to read and comment on threads but maybe eventually ill end up with more time.

Little about myself : I'm married with a 5yr old son and a girl due in Oct. I work for Peterbilt in parts sales for the last 5yrs and previous to that I was at John Deere for 5yrs. I'm not new to drag racing or racing in general but I am somewhat green to the high performance diesel world.

The truck: 2007 5.9 4x4 4d short bed 991hp /1801TQ on rear tires
Mods off the top of my head :
Dual cp3 II
AirDog II 200gph
F1 4.5 injectors
Full 5" single exhaust
62mm silver bullet over a S478
MPI piping etc
Arp 625 studs
Stock bottom end
Billet trans other than the output and I'm trying to decide wether or not to put a ATS shaft or leave a weak leak . It's easy and cheap to fix myself , I'm just wondering what else ill tear up if the output shaft don't give up??
Hamilton valve springs and valves
Wilson intake horn & intake
Bilstein 5200's
Fleece flush shock towers
EFI live tune and 5 position switch
Mayhem 20x9 black chrome wheels
35x12.50-20 Amp MT tires
N-fab stainless nerf bars
Phantom II pillar gauges
Under bed mount 31-PC2150 Odessey
Maybe other items I'm forgetting

I fully redid the interior with leather , new carpet, new headliner, new overhead console, new radio bezel, new cushions where needed, etc.

Also built custom brackets to clean up under the good to mount the ABS and fuse box . Moved the battery under the bed and built my own driveshaft loop for the rear. Front loop coming soon. The loop is large since I'm getting a 5" aluminum shaft with 1480 joints soon and beefed up front shaft as well.

Anyways here's some before and after pics , as well and the battery being moved and driveshaft loop.

Anyone in my area hit me up, maybe we can get together and drink a few .

What part of central TX?

I'm 20 miles southeast down hwy 6 near Hallsburg /Riesel area.

Secret to posting pics??? Normally use the bottom link on photobucket but not having any luck tonight.

Figured pics out finally , so here comes some more.

All the brackets under the hood will be painted etc, just waiting to get my Fleece fuel filter delete done and all my new braided lines/AN fittings done.

May change the brackets under the hood to countersink screws so they look better.











I've been busy in my shop the last few 4 months. It takes a lot of Budlight to build a truck .

Looks good man!

Wow! Nice job and welcome to the forum. If u don't mind me asking, where did you source the interior parts? Mainly carpet, radio bezel and seats? Or did it have the leather seats already?

Everything seems smoothly done, good job!

Thanks guys, truck came with cloth that was nasty as hell. I work for Peterbilt so we have a account with a dodge dealer . All my parts replaced are original. Bezel can be found way cheaper used and that's what I should have done myself.

Cushion on the drivers side was only bad one and replace with a oem cushion.

Seat covers are from Leatherseats.com. They fit and look better than the oem stuff IMO . Kit was like $875 delivered and only took me 4-6 hours to install them myself. The jump seat takes the longest but if your mechanically inclined you should be able to install them on a 2007 model I know .


Post a few more pics shortly since I got all my lines etc done under the hood and inner fenders back in.

As you can tell there is alot more room under the hood now.
