I have parts to build up about ten of the prototype units. But, they are only designed for this one application. i.e. I don't have the necessary dimensions to make the adapters for other applications.

If you'd like to be an 'early adopter', and are technically handy, we can work something out. But, I will need some measurements.
Let me know what you need, I dont drive my truck much(have a company truck and a wife-mobile) and am an engineering too so I might be of some use

I have a 2001 half ton 4wd

As far as I know, there is no strain-gage inside any trans. At least the ones that I have taken apart. HPtuners is probably using the VSS ( drive-shaft speed ) sensor and the vehicle weight to estimate the torque.

@1slow01Z71

Which transfer case do you have ?

And.... we are back on the road

Less the blower, for the moment. I sent the head out to have the bearings changed and the impeller re-clearanced. I should have it back in a couple of days.

And I must say "WOW! That blower makes a big difference. Even in just normal driving."

Sorry. That posting seems to have expired.

Here is a link to the product page. It is still kinda "under construction"; with everyone scrambling for SEMA.
