Brent: If you're going to be tearing the lawn all up you might want to tie the downspouts into a drain in order to keep the yard more water-free. Take pictures of everything you think I might be interested in seeing. Even if it's on the fence take it. You don't have to send them all, but having them would be good.
I'll let dad in on the project too. His 30+ years of experience can't hurt. I've really just got one or two years of experience actually planning and carrying out jobs start to finish.

Well that's interesting. My brother's 2002 got 10-12 mpg EMPTY. 310/425 at the flywheel (I looked it up) is nowhere near 320/700 I'm getting AT THE WHEELS. I know I have a few mods 
, but you'll better the HP at the wheels with a few simple mods, and blow the V10's tq out of the water. The stock 2001-2003 7.3 is 250/505, so you already have the V10 by almost 100 ft-lbs stock. You should be able to get to 310/660+ (at the wheels) easily with a few mods. Going beyond that gets expensive, which is where I'm at. It will take all the basic mods, then a turbo and injectors to get to 400/750+. Beyond that, you're tearing down the block and replacing/adding lots of parts to keep it together.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...

powerwise stock I sure didn't run off from them
I figure now I run about 250 hp towing and maybe 270hp in 80e and that is all it will ever be

1) 1980 Mack R model tandem truck tractor
1) 1987 Mack DM triaxle dump bought new in 87, sold in early 90s and recently bought again
1) 1992 Peterbilt 357 triaxle Rolloff
1) 198? International triaxle dump with VERY large box. Has since been rolled.
Those are all the trucks that have been registered/insured in the past year.
By the way: Nice Simpsons reference.

Gutters are all hooked up already, did it during construction and they are plumbed to the street. When I get to that point, I'll get you some pics of the overall layout, the grass, the sink holes, all of it..Thanks Pete!!!!!!!!!!
Better take a minute for yourself, or you'll get worse...trust me, I speak from experience...you know that.
On the picture there Jim, I think I'm good. I've seen enough nasty to last a lifetime...

Reason I ask, is my dad and I were looking at purchasing an 04 mack, with a 460, and were kinda looking at a 01 with a 427, and I was curious how the engines were in them. They are cheap (alot cheaper then a peterbilt) so that makes me wonder why!
