just wanted to add that denatured alcohol is simply e85. alcohol is denatured by adding gasoline to it.

im not really lookin to race the truck, i just want some more kick down low.
do you tow, or have plans to tow? if so, how much? i think cicle d reccomends not going above 3000 for towing combined with a trans cooler. i dont see any reason why you shouldnt get the 2800, even a completely stock truck can benefit from that tc

Look on the passenger side of the radiator, you should see two hardlines going into the rad, so a total of 5 hoses going to that side.

update on the stepside...
ordered the cam and ls2 springs from scoggin dickey. they're with the truck waiting for me.
can anybody who has installed a converter in a 4wd truck chime in on how they did it, im debating whether or not to get a converter because i dont want to go at this uneducated and end up ruining my transmission/tcase
