Kinda what I thought. After 200K I was not having any issues, just curious as much as anything.

Gear oil is cheap, NV-4500's aren't

I'll be there........ For Sat at least! It's a Dynojet...right?
Need another Dynojet reading.... Last saturday's was inconclusive due to wrong setup.

Great time at 'The Ranch' this weekend....Thanks Charlie!
Guys from OK brought a Camper and big Cooker.... and enough food to feed an army!! We haven't eaten that well since Fairfield!

Bully Dogs place is still under construction but they put on a great show and had probably 60 trucks there. Buck did not disappoint...blew another turbo shaft, when third stage NOS kicked in, but at lower rpm, so no major explosion this time. Just a good sized bang and lots of smoke!!

Hey guys, ya the turbo blew again, only had two stages but just got to barely tap one stage. But she sure sounded like it was going to do some thing...so 730 @ 3900rpm not too bad I guess..but ya'll can count on one thing I'll get her right one day soon....

Thanks fearless leader. As good as it can be I guess. Found out via second Ortho opinion that the physical injuries were not addressed properly. So, after spending 11 months in physical therapy in 07', I start again today with yet more PT. Back surgery may be looming over the horizon as well...

that sure sounds like a good time... but i get to be a responsible friend for my buddy's 21st birthday. i volunteered for DRIVER, so everyone else can have a good time. i figure my truck will hold (6) drunk ppl. HAHA. and (1) sober me.


ALSO: my common rail is leaking. i think it was the number (2) or (3) line. tightened them all up seems to have fixed it. but i have not driven it hard.

and i am not sure how to get a wrench on the number (6) line i guess when my tranny is out tonight or tomo morning i will try to get at it then.
