Havent been up to much here guys with the economy I've been keeping the truck budget on pretty much lock down. I'll be opening it up pretty soon as I am quoting media blasting as we speak for the entire body/fenders/hood/doors etc. Updates to come soon enough as spring is near and the DEEP FREEZE of Wisconsin is almost over and I can actually get in my garage without burning through $20 / day in heating costs.


Sorry nothing fun to give you guys Been a cautious and money conscience winter...)

I sorta figured that you were into "winter mode" up there.. The truck will thaw out a lot easier than you would Looking forward to the additional posts from you as it warms up

Turbo got rebuilt this weekend.... video is uploading and wow does it sound sweeeeeet.


(Remember guys.... its not necessarily what you know..... its also who you know and how you can use that to your advantage.) I set up a guys racebike this past weekend.... which indeed takes a full weekend, 2 -12 hour days to do....... consequently his dad works at a peterbuilt shop.... and took my turbo in for free and rebuilt it...... (The cummins dealer is right next door so he said it was time he called in a favor too)......


The best price.... I value my labor in beer cans..... so I spent a weekend drinking and working on motorcycles (no not riding them) and got a free turbo out of it......)


Enjoy (once the link is posted)


Note: Will take time as the video is.... "pending"
