Newbie Climbing Aboard

[M151]

Brought the 2019 home yesterday. Had to have it. The diesel option is killer. First mods will start today. Planning on gutting the cat and a muffler delete. Got to hear the turbo whistle. Warn Hubs on the way. The turning radius seems iffy? Wasn't real pleased. Removed the stops and the tires rub. Plan on adjusting to get maximum range. The EGR delete is a must. Also plan on mounting the radiator with dense rubber idolators. Anyway, these rigs seem to have lots of potential. Very old school. Should be fun.

Sounds exciting.and if you block off the egr do you have to do anything else for it to run normal?

 

[M151]

Do a search. Lots of information on that topic here. EGR basically reduces NOX which is pretty much smog. Comes at the cost of gumming up an engine with gunk. On positive note no SCR or DEF.

Congratulations, M151!
They must have reset the PIN/VIN numbers back to 0 when they started 2019 production.

Not certain? I updated the vin to reflect the last four.

They must have reset the PIN/VIN numbers back to 0 when they started 2019 production.

I think serial number three thousand something is just right. The CEO of MANA said in an interview a couple weeks ago that they'd produced 3,000 to date, starting spring 2018. That seems like the best evidence possible that serial numbers haven't reset yet, although they might eventually have to.
