Yeah telling her "oh by the way I need another 2k for trans parts" may not go over that well. lol

Ah yes, the Boone county fair. That was the night my phone decided to take a dive from the top of the grand stand, it survived though. That was a great show, and yeah that meeting up afterward, that was interesting. We got to see a couple other obs trucks though. I still remember that guy that was talking about a DT466 swap. I think that may be kinda cool, but I wouldn't want to be fabing it to fit!! lol.

Nothing going on with the truck so to speak, but I will say with all 8 glow plugs working, its is starting much better. And since I've pretty much been driving it everyday, it seems to be overall running better. I guess letting it sit isn't the best for it.

There is this as well. This is the roof vent for my pop up. To all the rv gurus here, ananyone ever seen one like this? They really must not have wanted it to go anywhere. I just siliconed it shut for now. It hasn't leaked.

TBH I hate the tunes. I just didn't wanna post anything more regarding that subject. The tow and heavy tow just clunk up in the gears trying to stay at 500 hpm while the street, daily, and race tune dont shift until its above 3000 rpm (even when giving it little throttle).
I leave it in stock. Figured once I do a bunch of work ill send it out to TW.

Man that sucks Alex. And all that on top of your poor customer service experience. Sad that anyone would run a business like that. I know we would be out of business in a heartbeat if we were like that. I will say props to you for not blowing your stack on the forum about it, cause in my opinion, you would have had every right to.

No biggie guys! I am sure if I were more active as of late I couldn't help myself! But these last few semesters have been killer!

It dawned on me the other day that I have been enrolled full-time(12 or more credits) in classes for 5 straight semesters! UGH

So since you sold the big camper to Aaron are you bringing the pop-up again this year?
Orrrr do you wanna sell it?!
