I remember... I was in denial for some time after my dually's engine broke, but I am in the 'club' now.

Al, my plan was to throw, studs, springs, 250/200's and a GTX 4294 on this motor and rock it until it broke, so in a way it was a blessing it failed first. If nothing else, we can't blame 200% nozzles on this failure!

Oh, and Joe, your success with the big nozzles helped encourage me to run them. Its sad you've lost the passion, but if ya decide you need to get rid of some gauges - I'll send you my address!! Lol.
