I thought 4:30AM was reasonable. Dddn't you. Nothing like an all nighter to test your limits.
How is the EX running?

Great event as usual.
Special thanks to Fat Diesel / Andy for being such a gracious host.
Unlike the last 2 events, I didn't do much to my truck. I was hanging out for a bit to see if I could help anyone and eventually jumped in and installed my aftermarket 2008 style tow mirrors, the Riff Raff Diesel intercooler boots/couplers and bled the nasty, original, 9 year old brake fluid.
For those of you who wanted more info on the mirrors, check this thread:

Thanks to Andy and Peter/pjwoolw and Robin for the help working on my truck.
Too bad we didn't get around to working on Vegas' truck. Those two guys were busy helping install a trans cooler and IC in the red truck at the expense of their own truck.
I bought a used camper shell today off craigslist. I'll end this post by sharing a pic of my truck with the mirrors and the camper cap I bought.

The Ex is running fantastic. I changed the oil this morning and tightened up a few things we missed. Thanks again to everyone. Whether you turned wrenches or gave moral support, it all made a difference.

Can't imagine how somethig could get missed.
But maybe it was because you all looked like
when you got finished. I was like
when I got back to the hotel.

Clay, Nick, and Pete. Wonder if they know it'll be another 16 hours before Pete's driving away....Hmmmmm
Clay working on Pete's Ex, with Joey (Terminator Engineering) looking on. Gotta love the John Wood Automotive hat Joey's wearing.
Joey, Joey's daughter, Kristen (Mrs. Clay) and Nick
Nick under Pete's rig, looking thru the wheel well
Pat (MXFireCaptain), sorry, didn't get introduced to the man in the middle, and Andy (Fat Diesel) Andy is the proprietor of Man Town, AKA Andy's place.
Pete pulling Pat's 15* HPOP, getting it ready for a Terminator Engineering T500...if Joey would ever show up!
Robin and Pat looking over the AE data after taking Pat's truck for a spin with his new T500 HPOP installed.

This one needs it's own post.
Here's something new Clay has come up with. Show up with your truck at an official Riffraff Diesel Tech Day and maybe you'll get one too!
