check my LB7 build thread. I pretty much had all the basic bolt on fuel economy and safe mods. Downpipe, LML driver's side manifold, boost valve, 5'' exhaust, turbo horn, intake, lift pump, and a 70hp EFI tune. It ran and sounded great, I loved the setup.

Yeah you're truck was sweet man! Sounds pretty much like the same ideas I have for mine. The only thing I couldn't find in your thread (or completely missed) was about the LML manifold. What's the reason for that swap?

lb7 manifold is necked down a ton near the steering shaft. the lml is full bore throughout and is only like $70 at the dealer.

Looks good, I hated my moldings on my nbs(they were gone before I got my plates too), I do like it when guys leave the dmax badge tho, not to much but is something to catch your eye

Thanks dude. It's staying for now, might remove it later. Truck looks so much cleaner with everything removed!

Yup, handles/rear plastics/front bumper pad/whole grille (preferably 06/07 grille/hood swap too but current grille too) all should go white :imo: Truck looks great dude!

Got an offer to go steelhead fishing Saturday and the Hawks played yesterday (sorry if you're a Vikings fan lol) so haven't got a chance to polish it up yet. I did snap a pic of it on the bank though. Still need to remove the "4x4" decals.

Still haven't done much to it since I cranked the keys and demolded. I have switched over to the Stanadyne additives and have been able to notice a difference in power, economy and it helps quiet the injectors down a bit.

Been trying to figure out what this humming noise is and I'm really starting to think it might just be the tires. I bought a new hub assembly for it and have swapped it to either side with the noise still being there. I did notice that when I cranked the front that the noise changed slightly. It used to be really noticeable from 35-60 mph and now it's more in the 40-55 range. It also seems to get quieter when I turn right (which is why I thought it was bearings). The way the tires on the rear are worn leads me to believe the tires were rotated and the wear is so uneven that it's humming. Back tires show wear on the inside shoulder, so I think they were originally on the front. This shit is driving me nuts cause it doesn't effect how the truck drives it's just really fucking annoying.

Any suggestions?
