Is Timbren The Solution To Stop Towing Squat?

Is the Timbren SES the solution to stopping your truck from sagging while towing? We recently upgraded to a 5th wheel toy hauler and after our first trip towing it, we realized the bed was sagging more than we'd like so Tony started researching options. We first thought air bags were the only option but found out about Timbrens from an online search and they seemed like the perfect budget-frien...

Great video. Thanks!
Hope the video helped. I appreciate you watching!
hey man i was just about to get started on this project but i remembered you have to unplug the EGR, what plugs do you have to unplug. you did not mention anything about the EGR in the video so im a little confused
I forgot to mention that the tune turns off the EGR so if you run the equipment I used, you can leave all EGR intact and it will be non-functional
If you're changing the filter anyway, take a small chisel and knock a hole in the bottom of the filter housing and drain it first. ;)
good point. that waterfall of oil is pretty damn annoying. I'm punching a hole in the filter next time
Isn't your problem more associated with your lift kit? You took the engineered rake off the truck. Without the lift kit you would still have the same amount of sag except your truck would end up sitting level.....as designed.
The stock bump stops are smaller and softer than the Timbrens I replaced them with and that is what lessened the squat the truck saw after install. I wasn't concerned with it being level with the front, this amount of weight would have sagged the rear regardless. It is much happier towing with these compared to stock at this weight
@@tonysprojectgarage Yes with the original bump stops you still would've had the same amount of sag with and without the lift kit. The problem with the lift kit is you negatively affected the engineered design of the weight distribution of the truck. The weight of the trailer will still sag the rear end however the rake of the front end still allows for weight to be distributed to your front axle. Because of the lifted front end, the rear axle is now holding more weight while the front axle is seeing less weight than designed therefore the negative towing feedback. By adding the Timbren and inhibiting the sag you're now forcing weight to the front axle much like a weight distribution hitch does.
Can you add the link where the kit came from.
I can't share where I got the parts, those companies don't want to be advertised. However, a quick online search will give you "farm exhaust" options and you could email some retailers to see if they have any tuners. Good luck with your search, it's so worth it!
Thats a nice farm truck...
Waiting for the weight police 👮 to be all over your video😂
HAHA no joke! This RV is actually more than 1000lbs below this pickup's towing capacity but that won't stop them from saying something
The exhaust is very clean when starting, with no black smoke. How did you achieve this Tony?
The tuning from GDP is phenomenal. They get all the credit for this. No black smoke in any of the tunes I've ran from them on 3 different 6.7 Powerstrokes
@@tonysprojectgarage Thanks Tony

🔥
That is not a 1000hp vette😂
Is it still the stock rear differential?
Yes, stock diff on this car
Sweet. The good ole days.
Good times!
Pretty awesome you were apart of the OG cobra crew!!
It was a very fun time in the car world! I'm looking forward to buying another one soon
@@tonysprojectgarage Heck yeah!!
Great times back then when all the cobras were here in Lubbock. I’ve gone back to that video to show my sons my black cobra with all the other ones in Lubbock at the time. Looking forward to some more footage and what’s to come! 👍🏾
Good times and great memories! So cool that you have these videos to share with your kids. I have so many plans for this channel and I'm eyeing a certain stock terminator now so once I pull the trigger, expect A LOT of videos.
Share some links of your favorite older street racing videos!
Where did you find the parts
I don’t want to put that out because the companies could get in trouble but you can find the pipe with a quick google search and send some diesel parts retailers an email to see who will sell the tuner. Especially Canadian shops
With the new decision from the supreme cour they said the epa cannot enforce rules that were not legislated into law
That is promising!
What should the next mod be for my brother's CTSV? Give me some suggestions
Cam
Nice !! Great car and real fast !
It really is a quick, fun, and versatile car!
Love seeing a caddy with a rumble.
Can’t beat the sound of a big American V8!
Not your granddaddy’s caddy! 😍😍
You got that right!
Sounds nice.
Hey there, I'm new to diesel quick question? What brand of diesel additive would you recommend? If I go ahead amd reduce weight to my truck. Does the tuner that comes with kit have to stay connected to the obdIi plug?
Great question! I use this Lucas Oil Fuel Treatment and have been happy. There is a noticeable fuel mileage increase. The tuner does not have to stay plugged in after you install the tune but you can run the bluetooth app and display all of the temperatures/pressures on your phone if it is plugged in. Here is the fuel treatment link amzn.to/3zxdZbe
@@tonysprojectgarage wow you are great, thanks for the response.
I've had a good experience using Stanadyne - I see a gain of 1mpg, not much but anything helps. I also make sure I run Top Tier diesel, as recommended by the manufacturer.
Does it increase payload capacity?
Not necessarily, at least the manufacturer won't advertise that it will. However, I can tell you the pickup does so much better while towing the same weight
This is great but you can’t go to California Texas Oklahoma Missouri or 30 other states the fines are astronomical experience
Be the change you want to see in the world
Good thing Im a farmer..lol !
My sentiment exactly!
I’m pretty sure your old silver cobra when you had it was on Mexico racing leagues channel in the video cobra crowd. Awesome video. So cool that you got to buy that new and have the total experience.

Thanks Justin, that was mine. Drew, the founder of MRL, was a friend of mine at Texas Tech so we did a lot of filming together. Good times! Such great memories with these cars, especially being an original owner. I have been watching your channel and enjoy the content. Love your collection!
WOW! I forgot about this video. We did a lot of racing in Lubbock. Thanks for sharing the link, Justin!
@@tonysprojectgarage Thanks man. I love that cobra crowd video and I watch it often. Makes you want a terminator so bad. Cool history.
I’m not sure it will allow me to post links, but check out my playlists for terminator upgrades (supercharger, rear diff, RXT twin disk, 26 spline input shaft, return fuel system, etc).
Thanks Danny. I had all those on my silver '04 but it's been so long that your videos will be a good refresher for the installs. Been watching your channel for a while and enjoy the content.
Nice. Cool to see the OG videos
It feels like a time capsule video. Good times and great memories. Thanks for watching, Danny!
This is a 20-21 model? Need my 22 done but need a 21 ecm
This is an '18 so thankfully I didn't have to send off the ecm, that's annoying with the newer pickups
where did you get the equipment from?
Can’t say but a google search will get you in touch with companies that sell. Email them
I need my 2019 ranch truck done, let me go visit you, where you at?
I can’t do that but this video should make it a simple swap for ya!
I think with forscan you can calibrate for 37"tires
I’ve heard conflicting arguments but it’s worth me getting Forscan to mess with tire size and other settings for videos
I don't understand why people buy 3/4 ton trucks with a short bed. 8 foot bed gives you a longer wheel base that means less sag and better ride.
They look cooler. Long beds are for duallies
@@tonysprojectgarage I chose form over function for my 2024 F350 king ranch with a long bed. But I still will be putting a pair of timberend on it for our 42 fifth wheel Montana 3901 14k dry
Doesn’t mean less sag at all. It’s the same suspension. Just longer bed.
Love the video! Thanks for the review 👊
Thanks for watching!
badass runs. this find is a bit of hidden treasure as far as cobras racing go
Thanks man! It’s cool to see the resurgence of interest in the Terminators and people watching this 16yr old video is proof of it. Old cameras, simple editing software, and good times on the street. Thanks for watching
2022 7.3 srw tranny runs hot. Have a 2024 6.7 Cab & chassis drw getting shipped now. Tow a 9k lb bumper pull camper and a 14k dump. Any tips on longevity beyond the tranny pan?
The 7.3 gasser is good but you’re gonna love towing those trailers with the 6.7 diesel. Absolutely get the PPE pan, that will help tremendously from my experience. Next would be deleting/tuning if you’re willing & able (I have a how-to vid on the channel). But if not, the high capacity trans pan is a must
ThAnks for the response. I support the idea of deleting but for now, I don’t feel like dealing with the law/warranty void. The 7.3 does 95% of what I do- I’ve just always wanted a diesel since when I was a kid. I’m from the east coast- expensive diesel and mostly flat. When I towed west of the big river, cheap diesel & big elevation.
The tune is the “delete”
For the EGR, yes. But you still need to swap the pipe for everything to work properly
Sent you a DM on instagram. Got a few more I can send ya whenever you see the first message Apparently, terminators are being hunted in 2024. I got mine a few months ago and since then half the cars I saw were taken We’ll help find your dream car
I just got mine a few months back fearing prices were about to skyrocket. Black coupe, bone stock, I just hit 13k miles on it last weekend, etc I can find you one, I see them now and then I’ll keep an eye out for ya man. Good luck
Hell of a find! Congrats on that purchase. If you do, please send them my way. Thanks, Justin.
i commented here yesterday but it looks like my comment was deleted by youtube, and I don't have Instagram
That’s odd, I never saw the comment. My business email is in the channel profile. Please let me know what you found. Thanks Mike!
Same
Oh you don't have it. I might know where one is. Black though
Open to all colors except redfire & zinc yellow.
My favorite track! That cobra is beautiful! You still have it?
Good times at HMP! No, I sold it but would love to buy it back if I can find it
@@tonysprojectgarage I mentioned in another comment I may know where one is I will get back to you I gotta go check
Wouldn’t these limit articulation way to much and when truck is loaded and resting on them don’t they jar the rear
Not in my experience since installing them. We’ve pulled our momentum you hauler and it’s incredibly stable at speeds, up & down mountain roads, and no jarring when braking.
Love that sound!!!
How's the truck ride without the trailer? Does the axle often hit those bump stops?
Just like stock. Without a trailer, the Timbrens don’t make contact
@@tonysprojectgarage thanks!
I’d like to see a review video after you tow and then general daily driving as well. That would be some good content! Looks great.
Great idea! I’ll do some filming on our next trip showing it under load and the differences we notice with the Timbrens. As for daily driving, it’s exactly like stock because the suspension is unloaded and the Timbrens don’t “go to work” until the bed comes down and contacts them when towing. Thanks for watching
I have a check engine light for the "reluctant def fuel line heater" will that code disappear after I delete and run easy link tune?
Yes, you’ll clear codes with the EZLynk and the non-emissions present tune will turn off anything related to the DPF/EGR
I tell my customers to do this as soon as their warranty is up. As long as you aren’t in a epa gestapo state.
Yessir! Let it breathe
So what’s the deal on Emissions? I’m looking at 2014 Ram 3500, that has been deleted, I live in Colorado, and some areas (mainly the city’s) but in Weld county, it’s not got emissions, which I have a map of the emissions areas, If I were to purchase the truck, What kind of inspection should I expect?
@@jonellwanger7258 that’s different state to state, county by county sometimes. Here in SC they don’t inspect it at all. Only DOT regulated trucks have to be inspected for that here. (Businesses) In CA and NV where I lived for years, even in non smog counties bringing a vehicle from out of state required a one time smog. But if you bought a truck already registered in that state and lived in a non-smog county you had no worries.
