    Only thing im not crazy about with the spec is that it has some noise on engagement from a stop. Its not as bad when it warms up but still a little annoying. I ended up making a clock with the pressure plate from the old URD clutch lol

    Thanks dude! I wish the paint and body work was a little better but unless you look really close, it does present pretty well

    Last week I braved the 20* temps and installed my old Doug Thorley long tubes on the red truck. Not sure how I got lucky enough to get all the original 241k mile manifold nuts off in one piece

    Got the Spec U headers installed on the black truck today. So it now has the full spec u system and it sounds great! Ill install my old Doug Thorley long tubes on the red truck another day.

    Saw URD had the spec U headers back in stock and had to grab them. These will be going onto the black truck so that will have full spec U exhaust. The old doug thorley long tubes that are currently on it, will most likely find their way onto the red truck

    Changing from 2.55 back to 2.7 pulley

    I gotcha. Yeah i kinda wish Gadget would release a quick change pulley that came in black so it didnt stand out as much.

    Changing from 2.55 back to 2.7 pulley

    You should probly switch to a URD quick change pulley if you are gonna replace the pulley anyway. Generally you cant re-use the stealth pulleys because they usually get bent when using a puller to remove them. But I wonder if your tensioner is a little worn out and not holding enough tension...

    What Did You Do To Your X-Runner TODAY?

    So far it feels really smooth and like stock. Only have about 70 miles on it so far so havnt beaten on it yet. Only issue is im having some noise when releasing the clutch from a stop. Saw some other people had the same issue with spec clutches. Hoping it goes away as it breaks in.

    Engine problem first drive of the year [FIXED]

    Yeah so my issue happened after the truck sat for a month or so. Took it out for a drive. Let it warm up for a while then started driving and it drove great. After a mile or 2 it started missing hard under load with the flashing CEL. Pushed the clutch in and revved it and it would rev smooth...

    Engine problem first drive of the year [FIXED]

    My guess is a bad plug or maybe a coil. I recently had a similar thing happen and it was a bad plug eventho it was visually fine. Scan it and see what cylinder the missfire is on

    What Did You Do To Your X-Runner TODAY?

    After waiting on a backordered competition clutch, I talked to Gadget and switched my order to a Spec stage 2+ . Wasnt expecting to install it today but UPS came early this morning and delivered it, so I decided to bite the bullet and get it put in and get the truck back together. Time to start...
