nebie here

Just wanted to throw in my Merry Christmas greetings to all of the folks on the forum. I have an 87 xtracab 6.9 4x4 (2nd owner) with 154k. Original motor, c6 and 4.11 with a camper shell. Its a great truck and I love driving it. Thanks for all of the info on this forum, really good stuff. I'm picking up a used Banks turbo for it later this afternoon and will be getting it up and running during the holidays. I use the truck to tow a trailer full of dirtbikes, firewood and old Christmas trees for my son's Boy Scout troop fundraiser. I'm hoping the turbo install will make some more power going up the grade to Tahoe/Reno; it's a sorry sight right now (puffing black smoke, 2nd gear, 30mph). The truck goes to Baja once a year for our vacation and despite it's 70mph top speed, the ride is always a fun one. Look forward to meeting some of you guys soon. bob
