I blew my head gasket thursday night and its the only truck I got out here, you got to haul it up to sats for me on saturday so I can get it back on the road. Tha workin at all?

 

A wrench day? I got to get a shop in order to have a wrench day first! But if I had a nice shop I sure woudl let ya'll come up to it and drink and wrench on some stuff. Hopefully I can get a shop here soon so I can get everything out here.

 

I "could" host one. But I don't have much room in my shop, standard garage door height, my truck fits but anybody with a lift wouldn't. Plus it would be one at a time. Total shop size is a 25' x 75' divided into thirds, back 1/3 is wife's dance studio, middle 1/3 is heated, but 8' ceilings and a 8ft sliding door to access from the front 1/3. Front 1/3 isn't heated at all. It's basically just enough for me, it works, but not much room to play.

 

TreeDR you could simply run away. right before you're fixing to leave put both your hands on your head and scream as loud as you can " i just can't take it anymore" and run out of the house tearing up the driveway and road and show back up that night and act like nothing happened. when they ask you waht was wrong simply say, what are you talkin about??? then blame it all on me and say i'm rubbing off on ya. it works for other people.
thanks satburn i'm just tickled to death i got to drive it home. but do like i said with th etubes and you'll never have a problem again. at least you won't if you're not making more than 53lbs of boost. that's all i ever made.

 

He's got more than 53psi boost.....

 

I'm screaming and crying like a baby, throwing a fit and it's still not working. I like the head gasket idea only they'd think it was "my head gasket". I guess I could simply disconect the IAT and go into limp mode and say I have to get it fixed or no workey. Money or lack of it will get me a long way sometimes. Of course they will say why not wait till Monday to fix it. I'm trying anyway.

 

say well cause monday is a work day not a fix stuff day. gotsta make the green backs honey.

GS you wanna hear something funny, i'm only makin 39lbs of boost. imagine if i opened up the wastegate a bit more.........

 

Ummm, do I hear more broken parts?

 

quite possiblly so. but at least it'll be makin more power. i'm not gonna go much more. maybe to 45lbs cause that's what they're supposed to be set at.

 

I need a boost gauge. I'm about to try some more of my engenering ideas. Who has a boost gauge they'd sell me?

 

Got a 30lbs gauge I'm not using anymore... throw me an offer.

 

I got a 40lb as well

 

40 would probably be more practical since I'm stock making 23psi so 30 only gives me 7psi. I'll get with you GS and see what we can work out. I probably shouldn't bother since I'm selling this truck anyway.

 

And a story only gets longer....LOL

 

That reminds me a new chapter of the Octo. Man is about ready to be releast.
I really shouldn't try to get back at you.
Maby I should put the sell thing on hold till I get the intake thing going and have doe to play with.
You know that maybe my best excuse yet tell her I'm working on getting something going and that's the best place to test it. Thanks Octo. for getting me thinking again. I'll take that gauge after all.
