Did someone get confused with Sand in bed for better traction.
Thats winter Sand not Summer Sand in the bed.
This reminds me i have to go and remove the Summer air in my tires and replace it with the winter air.

If you need more sand I can get you plenty from NM. I can either get you fine silt from the Rio Grande, slightly grittier sand w/ obsidian (fine glass particles) from volcanoes, or really gritty sand from the open desert. But the best option is to go with sandstone blocks and rocks from the UT canyon country. Those are easier to ship. You break them up into individual sand particles yourself when you get them. They are really gritty but since they are red, they are stained with iron. Under the high heat and pressure of combustion, there is a chemical reaction where a microscopic coating of iron will leach off the sand particles, coating the cylinder walls and filling in all the scratches from cheaper sand. Also if you use the sandstone, you won't ever have to use coolant additive because it does the same thing but from the cylinder bore side. Let me know what you need!!

well that is a pretty screwed up situation you have on your hands there... i would suggest to put a brick on the accelerator... and point the truck towards a deep river/lake, and drive it into there... if your smarter than the sand in the intake you will get out before the truck hits the water, if not, owell... say it was stolen...
ps.... can we get this guy a "village idot" award?

that sounds like a really funny joke your tellin us. or somebody played a REALLY REALLY F@$*#% up prank on you. but yeah if you did do that you probably need to look into a new turbo and everything else the sand came in contact with.
