sickpuppy you dont know of any shops in the SAC town area or anywhere in the north bay there has to be something i would think because they have everything else in that area check the phone books and call around but you could get them cheaper from here more than likely

sickpup- Give us a call when you get a chance. We have very low prices and free shipping. Since you are out of state, you wont have to pay sales tax either.

I'm not here with my hand out. No price matching, special discounts, secret handhakes etc. I will tell you simply and honestly that in regards to the '06 Dmax the best is yet to come. I probably lose a lot of sales by putting guys on the fence, but I'd rather do this than become a "yes man" just to make a sale.


Rome wasn't built in a day.

The LB7 stuff took several years and is STIL being refined.

The 04.5-05 LLY stuff was never really perfrcted and MOST have orphaned it and moved on...


If you have to have something RIGHT NOW then go for it, but look around and you'll see a lot of this "awesome new stuff" for sale in the classifieds in short order...


:rant: mode off


P.S. I do have access to the Bully Dog tuners so it's not like I don't have anything available.

Look what is hot in LB7 and LLY stuff would be the first place I'd start. The Bosch ECU is entirely new for the Dmax, and the "key players" haven't released their products yet so only time will tell...

Trivia question that very FEW will get: Who had the first LB7 fueling mod to market?

I think it was one of the injector pressure boosting products. I'm guessing either Bully Dog or Van Aaken? I'll go with Van Aaken. Final answer.

Extra credit: If I recall correctly, SoCalDmax was one of the first to buy one.

No, PPE was a later entry. It WAS a pressure box though.

Close, that's what BD Brake called their version of VA pressure box wasn't it?

I still have 3 or 4 of those laying around here...

Complete with the telephone cord/plug and homemade plastic and superglue connector for the pressure sensor. Audible rasp at idle too.

Once the VA came out they quit making it AND quit honoring warranty leaving some SOL...
