What do you all think is better, keeping my Ford and making a fummins or buiying a CR. I do want a dually, but i think the "aaww" of doing a engine swap would be cool.

So if you get a CR are you keeping the 95 or will it be for sale?

we've never had a problem. dads truck broke an injector, no questions asked and it was fixed. neighbor has had issues, they fixed them.

i bought my truck used, with mods done to it, and they warrantied the first vp44 because it was dying when i bought the truck

Ill bring that truck up on the 30th and see if we could fit it in, it shouldnt take long all the lines are run. it just came with a T fitting that wouldnt fit anywhere.

Scotte is referring to a "boost bolt" that replaces one of your intake bolts, you run the tubing directly from that bolt to the gauge and you are good to go.

Sounds like we'll have a few projects outside of the cave as well as inside, but bring it on, we'll get it done one way or another.
