Good luck with them finding the problem. I drove my truck to TST after 2 weeks of codes and trying different grounds and everything they told me to try after many phone calls. They messed with it for 5 hours trying new wiring harnesses changing ground location, different boxes, and whatever else. Then Mark finally told me they couldn't get to work and he would return it no problem, So I returned it but ****! I wanted that power! So I put my Edge Juice back on and then stacked it with an Edge EZ box after talking to Edge about the stack cause so many people on here had me believe that the juice for the 03 had pressure allready. Edge said that was not true and I got the EZ box, And that really livened my truck up. It was very slow to rev up with only the juice I thought but it really works well with the EZ. My thoughts on the TST is that the early models may work on the 03-04 trucks but they must have had to play with some circuits inside to make them compatible with the 05 and whatever they did screwed them up for the 03. I wish I could get a "early" design box that works.

I loved my tst/bully dog stack. Before I loaded the Smarty I had no timing rattle issues and it ran like a raped ape.

I love my R49 also. The Cool Down Timer feature is great along with pretty much unlimited power options.

I mounted mine with a Universal Profit International mount. I have used this mount for many things on and around the dash before.

That mount looks good! Easy to read while your driving.

I had some problems...or so i thought...with my TST. I took my TS MP8 out of the mix and problem solved!! but HOT on a stock turbo

I was running the TST on 1/1 and the Crazy Larry program....it was awesome...til the stock flex plate shattered when the tranny hit 3rd. just unscrewing the bell housing, metal flakes were already falling out!

A buddy of mine had problems with his first attempt with the TST.....wouldnt even idle. We put my TST on his last night and it was working well...very welll...until...we had a mishap

i swears its like my TST is cursed or something...but man its FUN!

My remote is/was/will be mounted in the ash tray. COMPLETELY out of sight until you flip open the ashtray. Very sneaky in my opinion...i like it.

I love my TST and it makes quite a bit power and lots of smoke when stacked with my PPE. I need a clutch to hold the power and a turbo upgrade to help burn off all the extra fuel. As for spending 900 bucks, if you've got it that's great, but if you take some time and search around for a few weeks a used box which is just as good as new will pop up for 6-700 bucks, maybe less. I paid 560 for mine and picked it up locally after the auction ended.
