Made a first pass up in ABQ, NM over the weekend...
Track is tough... it was 5500' plus weather, pretty humid and that made the DA 9200'...

awesome build... I would love another single cab duramax. so I have to ask, this is a noob question about the glow plug deletes... I thought they were needed to combust? or do they only serve to heat up the diesel on startup?

Yep ^^ I live in AZ, so I don't need any cold climate aids. I mainly removed the glow plugs due to them having the possibility of breaking off at high horse engines with high EGT's. plus the little drop in compression also helps.
So far it has started as low as 55* outside without issue.
