That spool up for the little burnout seemed insanely quick. I know im at 5k elevation but even my little 369 wont come up that quick at all. A video of how the turbo spools in various scenarios would be cool. Spooling for a burnout/launch, getting on the freeway, chillin locked in overdrive then tryna go somewhere, stop light to stop light etc etc. Doesn't sound like you use it for a daily like I do but I also dont have any towing plans. It's just here for my enjoyment over and above being the only vehicle I own so I can run a more hopped up set up/want too run it in a daily driver application that way.
Yeah it does surprisingly well for a s400 on a vp rig! I'll try to make a video soon covering how the truck drives and spools in different situations. I don't daily it, but I could if I had to. Although I would put compounds on it if it were my daily driver. The fmvb really helps, but it still takes some throttle control to drive it efficiently. Always loved your truck and content man!
Haha! I thought I had to be the only person that had to push my truck back so the tail pipe stuck out the garage door so It wouldn’t blow black soot particles all over the nice epoxy garage floor coating when I cold started it up in the garage! It makes a mess. It was staining the dry wall black to! So the truck was to release the parking brake (6 speed HO truck) and roll it back a few feet and then jump in and start it so the 5” straight exhaust and 10” octagon tip was pointed a few feet out the garage door! I thought I was prolly the only person in the world that was OCD enough to do that haha! You make me feel normal… Dude I love my ‘02 secound gen. I couldn’t have asked to find a better more perfect mint inside and out HO 6 speed low mile truck. I had an ‘06 mega cab, black on black on black, blacked out everything. Lifted, built to the hilt, stage 5 billet nuke proof trans, all the goodies, and sold it. I’ve had prolly 6 first gen’s over the years, most 2wd’s, and a 4wd that I flat beded and lifted and a really low mile ‘93 club cab 2wd dually 5 speed getrag with only 138k miles I found sitting in a hay barn in Colorado. All Of em rust free and very straight! Colorado don’t use salt so it’s a god state to find rust free trucks online any state east of Kansas and up north, north east! I wish I’d of kept one of the first gen’s as a keeper truck, but my ‘02 secound gen is a keeper for sure. To perfect, to nice, I just turned 100k miles. I bought it with only 79k miles 9 yrs ago from the org owner in Denver co. I’m on the western slope in grand junction, warmer over here, desert. Only Took me 9 yrs to put 20k on it! Now that it’s hit 100k on the odometer I’m going to p pump swap it. The vp44’s defiantly have their own sound that’s unique to them, as well as common rail. But a true ‘street tractor’ is a p7100 pump! Vp’s are aren’t all that bad as a wrap as they get. Just as long as you have a FASS on it from the very start. That was the first thing I did when I got it home was put on a FASS 165 and a bean machine dual port sump. I wanna use that 2nd port on the sump as a fuel line in from an in bed aux tank, and have a 30-35 gal aux tank in the corner of the bed gravity feed the main tank. I’ve got the p pump swap all planned out, I’ve been amassing parts and everything I need the last 8 years or so. All the cool billet parts! Billet oringed timing case cover, billet oringed tappet cover, billet valve cover, billet water pump, studs, heavier valve springs and keepers and heavy duty push rods since I’m in there.
You're not the only one! I hate getting soot on the ground/wall when I start it. Man you've had a lot of nice rigs! I'd love to own a clean first gen some day... Missouri is very generous with putting salt on the road so it's hard to find rust free stuff here. It sounds like that 2nd gen you have is a gem! Definitely hold onto that one. P pump cummins are for sure the epitome of a street tractor... can't go wrong with a healthy p pump truck. I agree, I think vps get a bad wrap bc people overlook maintenance or don't put a lift pump on it. Get that p pump swap done and post some content so I can follow along! I'd like to see it 👍
Oh wow yours was a factory 6 speed and you auto swaped it?! After my black ‘06 mega cab and the $9500 trans I had built for that thing I’ll never have another automatic diesel. Never again. Manuals only. I drive my ‘02 second gen more now than I did back when I first bought it, and kept it in the garage and just never took it out. I think one year it sat in the garage for over a year and I never even started it. I had other trucks and a jeep and a little $300 beater car to buzz around town in. There was no reason to get second gen out of its cozy nice garage and get it dirty. But yeah indefinitely drive it more now and enjoy it more now. Hitting 100k miles was kind of a Bitter sweet Moment and took a picture of it at 99,999 and at 100,000 haha.
Yeah I decided to auto swap it because I went through a few clutches from doing burnouts and launches... and then I broke 6th gear! It made more sense for my build to go with a built auto. I'd like to get another 6 speed cummins one day, bc I do miss the manual sometimes! I don't blame you for wanting to keep the 2nd gen nice and drive a beater around! That's what I do. Dang your truck has low miles!
Sorry about the loud intro... forgot to lower the volume!!

Amazing truck man
Thank you man!!
Sick truck, you should do a vid on the battery delete and wiring you got going on.
Thanks!! I can do that, it was pretty straight forward. I’ll take some time to cover that soon 👍🏽
