Well not much going on with the cummins build.. taught my truck how to roller-skate this morning and tore up the bed...
But on a positive note.. I found a guy to cut me a billet aluminum oil cap. It will have the King Ranch "W" on top.
Who wants a 6061 machined billet oil cap?
Pretty cheap and he can make any design you can dream up!
Enjoy!

That would be cool.. Get what makes you happy. I am getting trash talk from a few of my 7.3 buddies about my cummins convo.. I could care less.. but then again my nickname somehow became "pretty pretty princess".. maybe i'm just unique haha

Great point bro. I had heard that was your nickname?! Lmao. I think the Cummins convo is a cool build personally I wouldn't even consider putting another 6 leaker in that beautiful truck. I'm gonna call Newly in the morning. Have a good nite Andrew. I'm headed to bed.

Which truck did you hurt? Hopefully not the big dually? If it's the old, tired, wore out '02, I know a place you can get ride of it...

Just anything with 4 doors and 4x4. You can keep your 6.4L, I'm not a fan of training wheels. My son will need them someday...
Hopefully you can find a bed and get it fixed up. I haven't had time to work on mine since the front end got rearranged. I hate driving around with things all bent up.

Got some more parts in over the holidays... Traded a 66mm turbo for these..
Helix 2 Cam
F1 Valve Springs
And I got a wiring diagram from Autoworld. The wiring of the engine is not really that bad..
Enjoy!
Once work picks up I will get my convo parts and my compound turbos ready. Then save for the BTS.. I hope to have the engine pulled apart this spring and pretty much rebuilt.

Slow day at work. Skid steer is broken. Waiting on the new year to get cranking. So I get time to play with my truck.
Cleaned and ground smooth
Painted
Paint I used.
Also. If the paint can appears upside down it is not my picture taking abilities. Your monitor is upside down.
Enjoy!!

So when are you gonna pull the cab and box to finish painting the frame?
I hate it when I do things like that, clean and paint a part up, and then it makes the rest of the truck look bad so I gotta go through and paint the rest of it up.
