I was afraid you'd put me to work, so I couldn't stop by. Plus, you are clear out in bung-foo, would have taken another hour to get to that side of Omaha.

Decking the block and heads
install ARP head studs and new gaskets
Probably going to need valve guides
Remove the EGR cooler, and shut off the EGR system
Blue spring upgrade on the fuel pressure regulator
test all injectors
tear down and inspect the turbo
install coolant filter system
install tuner, with 2 custom tunes
You have a new truck after all that gets done and a rocket ship to boot!

I tried to kill myself on Saturday, mowed the lawn, weeded the beds, cleaned out the shed, cleaned the pool and crashed by mid afternoon!

Ugh... don't remind me Steve, I need to do weed patrol too. I'm really mad at how crappy the yard looks. Home ownership is highly overrated!

I tried to start early in the morning hoping to be cooler, that lasted a few hours, then sweating started to commence!
