My new hero lol

 

Yup Morande retired. Acura across the street and Lincoln in Manchester is sold/gone too.

 

Tom I have one you can borrow, if you'd like.

 

That would be fantastic if you wouldn't mind.

 

I believe my torque wrench is only upto 150ftlb...I seem to remember that because it's not good for much

 

Sure thing Tom, not a problem. The boss asked me to be on call this weekend, so I can't go too far away but I can meet you some where in the middle maybe on Saturday. During the week is tough, I get off at 8pm.

 

Whatever you do, folks, don't think any turbo work on an LB7 Duramax is at all comparable to turbo work on a Powerstroke. Takes longer to strip all the crap off from above an LB7 turbo than it does to have a 7.3 turbo out, rebuilt, and back in.

 

I won't ask how you know that.

Good morning everybody.

 

Friend of mine has an LB7 and somehow I got conned into helping/doing most of the work to put on new manifolds, up pipes, and a new charger.

So far we've gotten the charger and up pipes out which is supposedly nigh impossible with the trans in and cab on. We'll see how many studs I can't break off when removing the exhaust manifolds tomorrow night.

At least he's not trying to b@stardize Chevy parts onto a Ford like another individual we both know.

 

I'm not supposed to laugh that loud at work. Either way the job is finally getting done so I am happy.

 

It helps him that he has the tech school to do most of the actual work and I've been unemployed and able to spend quite a bit of time there to "assist" aka: keep the ADD in check

 

Which is good cause I would normally be down there every other weekend, but I just haven't had the weekends to spare ever since we moved.

 

Slow in here, everyone must be frozen. Happy friggin Thursday!

 

Frozen people, frozen pipes, its just plain fun all around.

 

Such an atrocity!!! Chebby parts on a Ford!!! oh wait, I umm......Nice bright sun shining day! lol
