After 2.5 months, I finally got a head gasket for the 'lil Daihatsu Rocky as well (it came from Japan - apparently on a rowboat...). As soon as the X is out of the garage, the Rocky will come in!I do sorely miss driving the X though... Soon, I will miss the dually just as much - its like trying to pick a favorite child!!

Topping it off with some ELC after flushing with distilled water a few times:
We've put about 500mi on it so far and no problems. I did have the engine wire harness power on the wrong side of the relay at first and was not charging and throwing GP codes - but that was easily rectified.
Still haven't gotten my chip back yet, so running stock tunes with single-shots... It runs fine, but hazes at idle and lopes on return to idle. MPG sucks too, but at least my fuel is cheeeeeeep!!
