That... is not exciting! LOL!
What did you make of it having the turbo now? Did you get a better feel for it? Happier you got it in? Noticed any differences as compared to before?
You know we like details!!

I just caught that about your mishap with the DP mod.. Grr! Thankfully its not a huge issue!
I am still "not moving" fast! LOL! This coming week I am hoping for major advancements as it starts to cool down. This last week has still been between 108-111 degrees, so its unbearable in shop. I did get the rest of the heater assembly out of the cab, put in the new gas pedal with sensors, and working on the cab electrical a little here and there.
I dont expect mine to be up and going for a bit still. I am waiting on a break in the weather to cool down, and its also a $$ as I am putting lots of new parts in as I go. My shopping list is still a little long..
New Batteries are next, then hoses, oil, and finally exhaust! Pics real soon though!

LOL.. No worries there.. I am not keeping the same gears in my rear axle. I had posted pics of the rear gears and planitary unit that I took out of the donor truck. They are the 4.10LS and I am stuffing them in mine, so my truck will have the same gears up front and in the rear that the donor truck came with originally!

Looking sharp! Excited to see the pipes go on!
I figured with all the tear down and puting back together, I may as well bite the bullet and do it this way.. With the kinda luck I have, I have to go slow! LOL!
