Good morning everyone. No big plans today. I might start disassembling the truck so I can replace the up-pipes tomorrow.

Good morning Chris. Working on my truck today. Turbo removal doesn’t sound fun. Hoping it goes smoothly.

My repairs went pretty smooth. I didn’t break anything and didn’t need to make a pets run.

Good morning Chris. I got it all back together yesterday before I posted that. Worked on the truck from about 9:30 until 5 with a short lunch break, but had it all back together and ready to go. Test drive today.

Nice! I remember when installed a wicked wheel in my old 7.3. Took all day and was wondering what the heck I was thinking. It all went back together fine and ran great.

Truck is running good today after repairs. Definitely quieter with the exhaust leak fixed. More whistle with the new turbo wheel, but not sure if it helped performance much.
