That was the truck I was talking about in DeLeon.. or Stephenville... Cody really had me thinking about buying it.. but I've got too many projects going now..
I'm interested to see how it is going to run....

We found 2 oil leaks.. one was just the return line off the turbo.. the other was broken timing case.. where the KDP fell out, and broke the housing. We got about 45min of work to get it buttoned back up...

Buck
I just don't know how hard they are going to be on the rules in Houston. Not interested in hauling the truck that far and not being able to pull. Its going to be a long weekend as it is.. without the truck.... We could have it there.. but I'll leave that one up to Cody....

I saw Buck run his dial-in from behind the burnout box - looked like the rears didn't hook up till the 330'... no tire smoke though.

no sir the clutch didn't hook up until the 330' then it was too hot and didn't want to shift too good, hence the reason for the slow time. oh well it was fun anyways. Hey mike did that guy bring back the tires??

That's what I call a slipper clutch!

- and still more fun than a human being should be allowed to have...

Thanks for tracking down the tire-dude... not sure Rowland wants them back though - those things are wasted!
