Made a trip to summit racing today, since local performance shops close as 5pm and not open on the weekend. 😕
Also picked up some heat reflective sheath for the transmission cooler return line to replace what on there now

Picked up headlights assemblies Monday, then yesterday ran across a used DPC triple disc on marketplace for $450🤦🏻‍♂️ new DPC 3BLS is ~1600. Phil says ~650.00 to clean, re-stall with billet stator, another 150 if it needs new clutches.
I really don't need to be spending money on stuff that doesn't actively move the need to get the truck further on the road

I saw that listed, funny because there was a guy in Kirkersville selling the same model brand new for 1k. A customer of mine ended up buying it, I thought it would suck to drive but he claims drives like stock

Think the smart thing currently is to pass on it. 450.00 goes decent way with getting neglected maintenance caught up and the truck closer on the road
