I hope that weather stays! Will start buying parts on the 15th, so they will be waiting for me when I get back.

went to the swap meet Sat. I found a few dust collectors, but the thing I am most proud of is Del found a Cruise Control for my truck! I am anxious to put that in!

Totally forgot that was last weekend! Can't catch them all I suppose

I ended up cutting the bolts from my rear hitch to get it off so I could install the new tube bumpers. Took me much longer than I thought AND it knicked my thumb with the angle grinder so I'm missing some meat from my finger now. Bumper looks good though! lol

Was going to move POJ yesterday after airing up a couple of low tires, but when I started it up it sprayed gas from a fuel hose where the darn rat had chewed a pin hole. I even had left the hood open. I didn't have time to fix that before we had to leave.

Glad to hear that! I've been watching the weather. It's up in the 80's today, so it'll still be a shock going back, but at least spring is right around the corner!

Well gents, big list of parts for the 'ol girl.
S366 .91AR twin scroll snail, Upgraded billet wheel for said snail, 360* thrust bearing upgrade for said snail. So with just that, I'm looking at what I would like to generously call a stage 3, even though it's more like 2.5 because there isn't a wastegate yet.

Also bought a 6.0 IC, but still need the boots and pipes, which I might have to weld up the pipes.. Also ordered parts for a water pump upgrade with built in coolant filter, and parts for a dual tensioner upgrade as well.

Just the start of the tip of the iceberg, more parts will follow in the next few days!

This better be one happy 7.3 when I get done with her!

What he wrote Justin is he got a new set of guts for a turbocharger and a 6.0 liter intercooler to put on his truck. Clear as mud right?
