Not sure how I didn't see that one! That looks like it's in great shape. Not my favorite front end, but that can be changed if I really wanted. Sent an email over to him. Thanks for the heads up, Justin.

Looks way better than how mine turned out! The drill bits definitely went down into the boots of the ball joints, and I did over drill one of the holes so theres a bit of a cut into the I beam, but oh well, its out and it'll do for now!

Good Afternoon,
Definitely feels like fall is on the way. While visiting relatives in NJ, we went to the 38th US Diesel Nationals at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. Great event with Pickups and Big Rigs. Saw a 6.4L F-350 CC, LWB, SRW turn an 11.06 in the 1/4. Some pretty impressive Big Rig times, too.


Wade,
What time does the Dyno Day start? Wife and I are planning to come up. I want to get a baseline dyno before I replace injectors and turbo next spring.


Jim

Jim, Diesel Nationals is a GREAT event! I love Raceway Park! I get down there for the NHRA race and sometimes for some MotoX and have been to the Nationals a time or two. Great take!!!

Dyno Day starts at 9:00 and goes til 4:00

Good evening! Missed the mud runs in Ellington over the weekend. Only 3 miles from home and didn't even know they were going on.

Good morning everyone!

You can keep it Wade. There are two weather conditions I like: >75° and when it's snowing. This time of year deprives me of both.
