RELIABILITY,Me No Wants a Blow Up I am going to put together a 5.3 on a heavy dually truck that tows a couple times a week,with a NV4500 and full time E85.500 ft/lbs will get things done.No need to ever rev over 5500,and don't see myself in the boost a lot except when I need it.Truck puts on 30k miles a year. It shouldn't be long before I get a call to come get a low mileage 5.3 running truck engine locally.I resisted as long as a human could,but they learned me into going turbo. What would your advice be,equipment-wise as far as keeping things reliable over the long haul? |
Hit up kingtal0n on here. He knows the ins and outs of the reliability aspect of the turbo charging world. |

Subbed for the impending 12 page novel. |
Lose the idea of going turbo to tow unless you're putting in a diesel. If you want 500 ft lbs and be reliable and affordable put on an LSA supercharger. |

While I did grow tired of the long cryptic novels he was known for writing, I'm surprised that got him banned. I've seen people talking wild reckless around here, but nothing. |
He started getting pretty bad at the end and claiming the site wanted to make him a mod. You can basically say what you want in the SRK and Dyno sections but you can't derail LITERALLY every thread you post in. It gets noticed at some point. |

Agreed, I've seen some crazy shot on here (usually text it to you lol). He didn't bother me a bit, always good for a laugh and somewhere in his absolute crazy mind was some truth. |

I guess I'm in the camp that if you're arrogant and your delivery sucks then it doesn't really matter how smart you are. |

Do you see it as not reliable? or not affordable? Or just not practical to get the low end grunt needed? look over on performancetrucks.net there are a couple gasser guys with turbos they tow with. it's a different beast than a diesel, but they seem plenty happy with it |

R.I.P Kingtalon. It is you that I credit for increasing my reading stamina, I can now read for hours on end. You will be missed. |
