Progress of building and delivering the Eco-Diesel

[Karnaj]

Thank you @Karnaj! That helps us all quite a bit, I’m sure.
I noticed you are in orange county I am in Los Angeles county. And I ordered mine on 9/15 one day off from your order date. And mine appears to be lost in inspection somewhere :/ But it’s nice to know you have yours on the way. Hopefully mine is close as well.

Good luck. It's so close and the wait is killing me. Keep busy buying things to do to it when you get her.

Ordered mid August, built 9/14, took delivery tonight! Man was the EcoDiesel worth the wait!! Couldnt stop doing 60 to 90 pulls on the highway, endless torque!!

For those interested in the underside..

Sorry for the weird angle, was only a few feet off the ground on the lift.

Picked mine up last night. It had been in the dealer's onsite 4X4 shop for installing a winch, trailer brake controller, leveling kit and onboard air. Can't wait to get "acquainted" with it.

Where Did you mount the on air?

Ok, she's on a truck FOR REAL this time. Should have it by today or tomorrow!

Under the rear driver side seat.

Just got the call!!!! Picking her up tonight.

The report is: the torque is strong with this one! (Tim "the tool man" Taylor laugh): Rah-har-har-harrr!

Tightened the fuses and relays first thing. 150 miles down so far and no CEL issues!

Hauled the wife, kids, car seats, Halloween candy, 3 bags of clover seed in the bed, and managed not to get pulled over by the country mountie for exceeding my payload sticker number!

Will post pics when I get the bed topper installed.

The torque in this beast is addicting. I'm actually asking the wife for errands to run.....

So it’s official, you have it in hand. Is the Diesel worth the wait? I am coming from an SS Camaro so the fear is there will be no power in comparison :/ If I had purchased the gas version - was already looking at turbos - or an engine swap (too expensive). So the hopes are that the diesel will at the very least mimic a small part of the Camaros V8 . And the pull is my favorite part of that engine. Question: does the engine get up to speed limits relatively quick?

I think my Tazer will clock a zero to 60, but with 600ish miles so far, I have not wanted to push it to the redline. That said, it seems plenty quick to me. I doubt it would beat a V8 Camaro off the line, but it would beat it up a rocky hillside.

Quick isn't the right word for it. What I will say is that I'm at (or above) speed limits before I know it. Little turbo lag is noticable. First diesel I've owned so this is a brand new experience for me. I will say I love it!!

Sounds exactly like what I am hoping for, thanks
