Wont be doing much off road in this one. But when it comes tire time mud or A/T tires will be put on the rear for sure.

Those Freightliners are cool. I want one with a 12v in it bad!!!

As near as I can figure they brought trailers just in case they bought any 2 year olds and they brought the little trailers so they aren't tempted to buy too many.

Don't know if you guys heard or not, but we lost a friend in the diesel performance industry yesterday. Jon Link of JL Machining died due to some undisclosed (At this time) accident on Sunday. I had the pleasure of working with him since 2005 with injectors and at FASS. I hung out with him and his wife at the 2 Scheid shows i went to. Always had a beer for me and good conversation. Heck of a nice guy and he will be missed.....Its a little known fact that he did most of the EDM injectors for the big boys like II and Bully Dog from what i understand. He just stayed comfortably in the background as other sold his re-branded sticks. RIP Jon....you will be missed......

Jon's absence is our latest reminder to be thankful for every day God gives us.

Thank you, thank you. I want to thank... (Kanye West takes over the microphone) Duallydog you did a good job, but no one can beat Big Blue for his negative comments.

Sorry guys I've got too much time on my hands this morning.

I lost a friend/ classmate last August and I think that is what has changed my life/ ways drastically.

Every day is a gift. Enjoy them.

Sorry to hear of the loss.

It looks like my injectors are supposed to arrive today, and install this week sometime. any tips? break in advice, if any break in period? run some TCw3 in the fuel to lube things?

After 212,901 miles, I decided to do an oil analysis during my last oil change. Everything came back good news. Plus my TBN was still high after 5700 miles, so I'm good for running long if I have to. But I'll probably keep the interval around 5K, especially since it took me almost 6 months to rack up those 5700 miles.

Max, all I can say is put paper towels in the holes around the push rods, you don't want little things falling in your engine.

My father in law runs his power strok 15,000 on royal purple and around 10,000 on the 12 valve. Changes the filter every 5 and tops it back off though. His analysis have all come back good though.

I only drive 2 miles to work and 2 miles home and the random trip up 35 to Lewisville or Denton so I change mine about every 6-8 months.

Matt, are you speaking of your valve lashing incident? I think I will pick up a roll or two of those good blue shop towels.. and tomorrow I plan to wash my motor.

Also, going to replace the VC gasket and the injector wiring harness gasket too.
