Howdy all, couldn't find anyone to rebuild my turbo around here! Not even Left Coast Scott....so I just ordered KC turbo stage 1 and will swap this weekend. They will credit 10 blade hot side wheel and rebuild kit when I return core, unless anyone here wants?

Busy here, my guy just quit.....got a city job. Anyone know a good, reliable cabinet maker?

I might be able to introduce you to the shop we used during our bathroom remodel, but the only individual cabinet maker I ever knew left for the east coast about ten years ago... don't know how to find him now.

Happy Taco Tuesday Nor Cal. I bought 2 lbs of ground beef on Friday because the grand kids were supposed to come over for the weekend, well that fell through, so now I am eating tacos every day until the meat is finished, or i get sick of tacos and throw the remainder out. LOL

Freeze it and save the meat for making chili later.

I assume you're talking about a 6.0 diesel turbo, right? If so, there are detailed instructions on the 6.0 forum for doityourself'rs. Plus, you can always count on the guys on the forum to lend a hand if you find yourself with a problem.

I know a guy that builds cabinets in his garage in the town where I live. But that's up and over the other side of the Sierras. PM, if distance isn't an issue for you.

Happy Thirsty Thursday Nor Cal. Rained last night, but it was sunny and clear when I got up this morning. Which is good, because I don't like taking the electric wheelchair in the rain unless I absolutely have to, and I needed to go to the store today and get some vittles. The grand kids are going to be here this weekend, (hopefully) and I needed to get some food for them to eat.
