Good morning Jim and all the rest.
Looks like some rain today and I need to cut my grass.

Aaron I saw Walt's truck in Clition yesterday.

Good morning Andy.

I'm supposed to go down to Stamford and do some trim this morning.
May be a delay in that gameplan if the rain doesn't stop.
(need to pick up material, moulding on truck rack + downpour = PO'd customer, and lots of sanding.)

Sadly, hard to find clear crown stocked in larger (7") sizes anymore.
Still better than the MDF I just finished ripping out of that spec house in Westport.
Customers don't want to pay for it and painters don't want to prime and sand it.

Might just call @ 8 (when i'm supposed to show) and tell them if it clears up I'll be there later.

Morning all, I think I see the sun peeking through the clouds. The rolling thunder seems to have stopped as well.

Aaron I think you'll be very happy with that 6.0 CAC. I've got one in place of my stocker and it appears to have dropped EGTs close to 100 degrees over my stock 7.3 CAC.

thats what i hear. anything is better than my OBS cooler (none at all). i need to get my hands on a set of boost pipes out of a 7.3 SD, they work perfectly for the install into an OBS.

I'd think your best bet would be trying to find a set out of a superduty that was totaled in a side-impact. That way the engine bay will be relatively ok.
