i daily drive mine with a 13mm pump and mach7s. to tell you the truth the 13mm drives nicer than my quick rate 12mm pump did.
Espar eliminate the needs for the high idle 99% of the time.
IMO your gonna sacrifice fuel mileage with a 13mm pump if your gonna DD the truck.
If i had to drive 15k per month I wouldn't have any mods at all. That's about 3 years worth of driving for me.

You don't need all the power you can get for mud. Need the right combination of traction and power to get around. To a point power is useless unless you can get traction. With an 800 hp truck in the mud your gonna have to worry about spinning and then getting traction all the sudden. Then you'll break something and really be stuck. The hp level your wanting to reach will make your truck useless as a dependable work truck.
X2. 12v trucks are cheap and reliable. Throw that pump on there, and its neither cheap or reliable anymore. You know what a good 13mm pump goes for these days?
Me thinks you may be disregarding what a lot of very experienced folks are telling you just because you want a 13mm pump. The only person who has said it is possible (Seth) is one of the best pump builders around. Even he said it would take a lot of work.
I will ask my original question again. Do you need/want more power in a work truck than a maxed 215 pump can provide?

I have to omit I drive my accountant crazy, but sure beats driving a stock truck. The trick with the trailer is to get it muddy as possible and have all the tool dumped out. After that they stop asking you to haul stuff.LOL
Worst case you slam in a stock/near stock 12mm pump if the 13mm is too much and is too big. I've drove enough 180 and 215 pump trucks to know I need more.
