He also had a problem with a heat issue and we replaced the fan with one of mine. That is the last I have heard about the truck. Mind you this truck has been tuned by others and was built back in April of 2004.
BTW: Matt's (in MO) is a high compression motor that he chose when specd out and had someone else tune it. After he first put it together he told me how quiet the motor was until a few weeks later. It had a piston slap noise. This is also the last I heard about this truck. From the video he sent me I believe the tuner ran too agressive or lean and shrunk the pistons. I would like to hear any problems found that were fault of mine as they are saying.
My email is Tommylightning@outrageousperf.com
Scott, Matt talked highly of you so if you want to fill me in or discuss anything get in contact with me.

Ok dudes.. seriously... Thats like asking JL whats the specs on his heads and cams. EVERY Tuner does things a little different. JL wont give SPECS on anything. Why should I give my tuners secrets out? I can point anyone that has the same problem in his direction. Enough already.. Jeff I emailed you, earlier.

Dude, that's not cool!
If you aren't willing to help us out, why come to this site? Poke fun, make allegations and then run and hide, reading the responses.
Grow the hell up!
