Do it ASAP. The TN is a dog!!!! The 38r is one of the best mods you can do for your rig.

there's one in my truck. not sure when it was installed but there are 231k on the truck now. I've owned the truck for 5000 miles and haven't had any problems with the garrett. It doesn't seem to create the power they suggest but it seems solid and is a good replacement.

I just did the gtp38r last night, its pretty nice. Spools up quicker than stock. I did beans stage 2 injectors at the same time so its hard to tell what did what.

How does it sound? Does it whistle like a early 99?

the 38r with an open intake sounds like a jet! Awesome sound in my opinion
