He's in the not always so sunny part of CA. Remember - our state is like 3 or 4 states back east. Or 3 or 4 countries for you old worlders

Even down here in the "always sunny & warm" part of the state it's been 40-50 degrees and raining for 2 days straight.

Awww....a whole freezy 40-50o ........poor baby, besides he has this truck in his Garage, what would the weather bother him for?????

maybe because his truck takes up the ENTIRE garage - so he has no room to walk around it. And up where he is it gets much colder than down here.

That's just incredible!!

How many second mortgages do you have out to be able to afford this stuff? I mean seriously, lol. . .maybe I'm just cheap but I'm having a hard time forking the cash out to "overdrive" my F250 in any number of ways which is only going to cost a few grand vs whats seems like 10's of thousands here

Nice job though, seriously jealous over hear

I wish my wife would allow me to spend like you too ......I just may have to get a 'y' pipe and put duals on her 2006 Mercedes A-180 4 cyl diesel....I lost my truck due to circumstances beyond my control..........

ChaseTruck754 · #**177** (**permalink**) 01-12-2009, 12:50 PM

Received the cylinder head.... crate was busted and taped back up, but I'm not sure about the valve springs. I have 12 tall springs and I think that those are the heavy ones that I need. There were only four medium height and 2 short ones... here's what they look like.

And the new head....
