Saturday #5 for me....

 

Nobody needed to know that you're having time off while we all gotta work.. although I get over 3 weeks off in less than 2 weeks!

Happy Friday y'all.

 

Someday I will get a whole weekend off. I'm hoping that I haul and then spread at least 3 tons of rock before noon tomorrow. Tonight I spread 2 tons of road gravel.

 

Last night starting at 11 until 330 this morning I was installing my HPOP with new lines on my truck. Very satisfying results!

 

What hpop did you go With? Was yours just tired

The Chevy is all painted and back together. I got the front clip as good as I cared to. I need to change up some stuff in the front of it. Hopefully I'll have my trailer all legal Thursday and well be taking it out for our first bog next Saturday as long as all goes to plan. Should be a blast! I'd share a picture of it all done but I don't have one lol

 

Definitely need a pic John......

Looks as though there may be a Fiat in our future this fall......

 

As soon as I get a chance or remember I'll snap a picture and show you guys. I also busted the radiator the first time we took it out. I got my hands on a super duty radiator and mounted it in the bed. It's about 3x bigger than the one that was in it so hopefully it'll never over heat

 

John I went with a T500 and I just upgraded in preparation for larger injectors down the road. Doing all of my supporting mods (trans cooler, beefier trans, intercooler) before I actually put the go fast parts on (injectors, turbo, etc.).

Taking it to a truck show today with a local diesel club along with my Fiat in hopes to get it sold.

John if you're on book face you should look for a group called "Budget Boggers" lots of guys with mud toys always looking for the next event.

 

I was going to go with the T500 when I had my 7.3 but it wasn't big enough to support the 250/200s I was planning on running. What size are you planning on running? I hope you have the forged rods if you're going for what I call decent power.

I'm not on book face, don't plan to be. I'm in the know lol most of the guys I know are big mega truck guys with too much money!

 

Still some work to be done but she's almost ready for next Saturday. I'll get a better picture tomorrow if I remember for you guys



I hate photobucket!!!

 

Yep photo bucket eliminated their only useful purpose by not allowing 3rd party hosting.

 

You can post the pictures directly if you use the little photo upload button (little box with a mountain). I use that all the time.

I'm only going with 160/100 I think they are. Goal is low 400s. Anymore than that and everyone says I'll burn something down hauling a loaded 35' flatbed trailer. Better to play it safe. The 7.3 in the bronco though will get a little more pep (like around 600ish).

 

I never knew about the little mountain button! Hahaha!
160/100s seem to be a nice well rounded injector. 600 hp! In a 7.3!! That would be awesome! At the end of the day that's going to be one very expensive build

 

I managed to get just shy of 6 tons of gravel and crushed limestone spread on the driveway yesterday. I got started planting some grass seed, but today I am hoping to finish that.

 

Oh it's going to be very expensive just like my 6.7 PSD swap is gonna be very expensive!

Luckily though irate diesel has a whole build sheet of all engine components required for the power level so it's a matter of find the part, pay the toll.
