Long time no see

Well I've been gone a long time. I had a low ICP no start situation. I'm on my phone right now but when I get home I might look for the thread I started about it and link to it. Anyway, the problem was a blown STC fitting. Fortunately it didn't blow out and cause any damage as I have heard can happen. I tore it down and replaced it myself, rebuilt the turbo, replaced stand pipes and dummy plugs, deleted the EGR cooler, and I can't remember what all else. Then due to health problems I just couldn't do the work to get it back together. I finally had it towed to a shop to have put back together. It was down for about a year by the time I did that. It's been about 5000 miles now with no problems.

It's good to be back. I have to leave in a couple weeks, heading to Oregon to tow my sister-in-law's RV back here to Texas. It's about 2200 miles one way, and it will be my first time to tow anything that size. I'll probably be over on the Towing forum nosing around.
