by the way, thanks for posting that video.
I just placed it in the 48-60 section as well.
No problem at all.
To give an idea of how bad I have the I-6 bug, I spent the entire day, literally, trying to put together a corrupt file, finally Col Flashman resent the files and bam, it worked great. Needless to say, the wife was not happy.

That's not bad at all. I was looking at $6000 for a rebuilt stock 7.3 IDI. Just came back from huntin, and the more I drive this truck, the more I like it. Thanks for sharing a great truck with us Col.
