Too hot to go outside, so people stay home and...wait, that's not it. Hmm, no idea why it has been slow. Maybe everyone is packing up for their summer vacations.

We have finals next week so we've been finishing up projects and big assignments. Been swamped with that. Finals dont matter much for my grades so I'm about to be around more often.

Yeah, the kids around here only have 3 more weeks left of school, then off for another two months. Means it will be hotter too, bleah.

Not to hijack Tim but I just got the DC 185 amp and will be getting a FICM from Ed but am undecided between the 40 and 80 tune. Leaning towards the 80 but what do you think? You too Scott. If I tow with the EXC it will be 1k max because my workhorse is the 7.3

While we're talking about 6.0l's... Make sure you drain your water separator on time.



Believe it or not, that thing threaded right back in.

The atlas 40 is a great choise when I do go with Ed again that's what I'll be putting in, Not sure with the 80 give Ed a call and he will know more on that Becarefull about what and how much tune , not good for the Tranny.
