single battery, not used daily, small drain on battery (try to keep a tender on it), and like albert said, heat and cold. just kills it after 3 years. rarely do i let it go dead, its usually got enough juice if i forget the tender for a couple weeks to start up but it cranks slow. im sure that dont help.

Spent some time yesterday dailing in the tuning. Ran over to the mythical tuna mans house as well to see if he could knock the last little bit of “clatter” out of the tune. He found in about 2 min of driving :rofl:.

Took just a few revisions and you’d never know it’s built. Just got some maf limiting to play with, mpg tweaking and towing mpg tweaking.

Oh and i pulled out the sxe88 I got from Anthony. Was a brand new 72 he swapped wheels/covers with the 88s center section/turbine. I machined the backing cover so the 88 wheel fits in what was the 72s center section and put it back together. Wheel is dinged up so I’m going to pick up a new one and rebalance it. Little difference between a stock ihi and the 88 :rofl:

Honestly I got yelled at more for the fact her Canyon sat outside for 2 months while I built the new engine and the limo sat inside. I mean, I’ve tried to talk her into giving me the dining room as more garage space or enclosing the patio for it but got told sternly “no”. Can’t say I didn’t try to make sure the Canyon stayed inside!

I just need a bigger lot....

yes sir! its tight in there but we can get in and out of the trucks in the garage, just cant get in from the wall sides. ill take a pic when i get home. Garage door was raised 4", inset the wall at the back 4 ft (they has some weird ass nook in the dining room taking up precious garage space) and then set racking on one side of the garage for crap while my lathe, parts washer, welding table (<- that holds my plasma, jack stands, welding blanket, and chop saw) and press are on the other wall. Work bench, tool box, drill press, welder, vacuum, tool cart, and more storage is on the back wall.

there is 10lbs of shit in a 2 lbs bag in there but i refuse to park our trucks outside :roflmao:. im considering ditching a rack so i can put a mill in there too :D

Can’t wait to see this picture

My barn is a 24x34 and is at capacity imo.

I told my wife my next barn will be a 40x60 with 3 bays.
