You said there were mistakes which I didn't catch previously. It was something to do with your turbo though right?
I've been trying to keep up with things here and there but some of these threads escape me. You had a d66 as well right, but you purchased it from ebay if I recall correctly. I didn't see what the result was so hopefully it wasn't too expensive of a fix! |
This is build thread for another truck I'm building to sell my other thread for my dd is the one where I've replaced my engine to coolant and air in coolant issues probably head gasket issues but long story shot turbo is making a odd noise now but still seems perfect fine been running it for about 400 miles with noise without issues it has me fumbled but I'm just gonna keep running it for now and keep checking it just hauled two loads of scrap off with it as I had to or power was being shut off at our shop one load I grossed 24,460 pounds hauled about 60 miles that way no issues and no major egt issues either so I decided I'm just gonna run it and monitor it

Well instead of the pearl white I'm going with a Oxford white with metallic added to it think it'll look sharp what do you guys think
|
I think that should look great.
