I need opinions. I'm growing tired of this car. Everything I do with it is one step forward and two steps back. Seemingly a Neverending performance of, "I need to buy this, to put this on, then buy this to but this on, etc." I literally tried putting the engine in it yesterday when swapping...

It's here! Another unnecessary purchase, but oh well.

I may. We shall see

Well. Got a pretty good deal on a SOS pillar pod. Buddy parts cars out and came across one in a kenne bell 2v he picked up. $275 to my door didn't seem unreasonable. Now I need an aeroforce interceptor and a fuel pressure gauge to put in it...

I need to proofread more. Lol! Thanks.

Updates! Matt's truck is running great. What an adventure that was! Always interesting being 10 hours away from your shop and tool box with all the stuff you're accustomed to using. Engine was wrapped up after a crash course on degreeing cams. It's a lot simpler than I anticipated it being...

All coworkers. All already employed together.

1. No. Not stuck nor do I have to make an Immediate decision. 2. Married. No kids, or plans for any. Mortgage on a beautiful 3 acre acreage. Student loans and a truck that'll be paid off in a few months. 3. I have no major goals. I just want to live a comfortable life and enjoy my cars. 4. I'm...

Why shouldn't they? A differing opinion, personal finance issues, and or other personal issues from one partner could cause issues for all involved. They have every right to bring this up. I do appreciate everyone's responses, personal messages, and suggestions. As for not wanting to start...

There's sketchy shit in all 3 options if you look at it. None are taken lightly. I don't disagree with the multi owner purchase concerns at all. Planning on finding the retiring tech and speaking with them. I love iowa. Just got back from Texas, and that was an eye opener too...

For starters. The basics. I'm the lead technician at a local diesel shop in my area. A LOT of people know me for my love of automobiles, and my abilities both in automotive and diesel. I'm turning 28 this year to put age to it. Paid 32/hr + 401k with 5% match, paid health insurance, $3k/year...

Well, two days of wrenching down, taking a day for my wife and I to go to DFW while we're waiting on some parts to show up. (Trans cooler lines were pretty rough.) I have a LOT more respect for engine builders and intake porters after seeing some of the stuff that they have to do for the...

Current builder is nearing completion of my engine! Told me he found some stuff he wasn't happy to see on an engine with the 250 miles I had before it let go. Not saying I got a bad engine build last go around, but there were some things that needed addressing that got looked over. T-time two...

Ironically, were placing an order on an outer banks here soon. Wife has been drooling since the bronco dropped. Now we are in the position to get one.

Well, some minor changes in the build plans. The fox lake heads are no longer happening. Guy that's putting things together for me had like 3 sets of 4 thread heads he fixed in a month and asked if I was offended by switching to a set of 9 threads. Noting there are A LOT of stock port 03+ C...

Seeing this gets me excited to get mine done... I need to get my 2.2 up to Jon Bond and have it fixed... Also, reading through all of this, I'm glad I've been afforded the luxury of owning the cars I do. Every one of your responses and inside thoughts on these makes me glad for not parting...

Got lucky and found em online.

any photos? if its the wire I'm thinking of, there should be a plug that runs to the fuse box for a ground. If needed, I can grab a photo from my wife's 99 to aid you.

The 6.7s are simple. The back 8 bolts below the cowl can suck, but otherwise not too horrid. Turbo jobs on those are not fun cab on.

Sitting here reading all these comments about shitty jobs. I'm sitting here going, "man these poor guys would die working on a Duramax." LML duramaxes are NOT fun to do turbos on. Or EGR bypass valves. I'm having flashbacks typing this...

They're here!

I'm beside myself at the moment. Been looking for the appropriate 95-98 (yes I said 95, not 94) gel SVT badge for some time now. I FINALLY came across one, not one of those incorrect Daniel Carpenter repros. Getting some bonus stuff with them too! Anyone need a Bullitt badge?

That is wild! The misfortune is just a part of it. Keep pushing or fail!

Block, crank, and rods are on their way to Texas as we speak. I'll be heading south last week of March. Excited to make a mini workcation out of it!

Really thinking it will be a memorable experience all around. :ROFLMAO:
