Hey Joe, you were involved with my turbo change out. Would love to have you come back down. Me and Dodge boy lit the smoke house yesterday, We got some good eating to do.

If you can remove a bolt, operate a camera and upload photos, and read English, there's nothing you can't do with the help of FTE. It really is about as simple as removing a bolt and putting a bolt back in once you understand what the proper steps are.

Rick's offer is very generous. You should consider taking a trip a few hour West and getting help rebuilding the turbo yourself.

Good point about the wheel. I don't want him to make matters worse by running it if it's that bad.
He could email on of us pics and we can post them for him.

He drinks Miller Lite out of those little baby cans. Either that, or he just fed me the baby cans when I went to see him.

Well, I guess there would be no danger of the beer getting warm, but then again, I don't have that problem.

It was cold when Rick changed his injectors, so warm beer wasn't an issue. Call me a wimp, but I'd rather drink warm beer than be cold.

Haha. I know what you mean. I swapped out my turbo and injectors last January. It was cold outside. I had snot going on. That limited my beer consumption big time. I didn't even want any, just wanted to get er done. Kinda took the fun out of the project if you ask me. I like to methodically work away with good tunes and not freeze my **** off. I did not particularly enjoy my swap. Really sucked the fun out of it, but results can bring you around.

Just how cold can it really get down there fellas?

Sometimes in the 20's. A couple of years ago it didn't get above freezing for almost a week. Of course to me, cold starts when it drops below 60, and the low 70's is still considered cool.
