It used to take us a year to organize a GTG.

and a schedule of 5 on, 4 off, 4 on, 5 off. All 12's. I imagine I would've been in millenium camp again as well. I need that like a hole in the head.Anywho, I'm all for another gtg. I can't commit to anything, have no idea where I'll be in a week or a month.

Ya i was thinkin about going with that turbo too, but i think im gonna go with the suber b special. Im sure it is an s400 with some funky pluming to get it on there. but i can get it cheaper that i though so i might go that route. So where did u get ur s300 from and for how much if u dont mind me asking and what year is ur truck again. thanks

My old tub, lets' see, where do I start?
Had a great Christmas work load that ended in me having a chunk of change left over so I bought the old girl some toys.....PDR35 w/14cm housing, Smarty and some F1 Mach 1.75's. I figured this would be a nice combo for towing, and I can keep my exhaust brake, so I went with it.
Bolted everything on one day and went for a drive, NO BOOST! Well, 15 to 20 lbs anyways. PDR35 is wastegated for 36 psi.
So start looking for leaks and find the intercooler is popped! Fine, order an intercooler for Mark down at PDR. Bolt it in, take it for a run and again, no boost.
Look some more and find an intercooler boot with a pin hole in it. So small that there is no way it is the leak but replace it anyways. Still no boost.
Talked to Mark again at PDR and he gave me some places to look and things to do, etc, etc, etc.
Adjusted valves, replaced IAT and MAP sensors, checked push rods, replaced various gaskets, etc, etc, etc. I'll admit I replaced more than I should. Still no boost.
Went out one very cold morning about 2 weeks ago and did a pressure test again on the motor and you can hear a leak as usual, just can't find it.
Well I found it!!! Pressure from the test is bubbling up thru the intake valve guides and pressurizing the valve cover and then going out the blow by tube!!!! Head is toast and needs to be replaced at 115,000 miles!!!
Truck runs awesome with the new toys on it. You wouldn't even guess that there is anything wrong with it unless you look at the boost and EGT gages.
Boost goes flat at 15-20 lbs and the EGT's rocket in to meltdown but the truck pulls like a freight train.
So hopefully, the old girl will head down to PDR sometime next month to have a Cummins Reman head dropped on it. Mark at PDR says they can have it out the door in less than 2 days for sure.
So after $3000 in new toys, $1000 in an new intercooler, another $1000 in misc replacement parts and another $3500 or so for a replacement head, she should be good to go for a few more miles.
It's still cheaper to keep her so that's why I'm doing it. Then we can see what kind of numbers it makes
