Here are a couple of update pics. Rick Lance sent me some of his forward facing extreme headers, as well as a box of fab parts to finish the up pipes. Thanks again Rick everything worked out great. I will have some picks of the up pipes in a day or two when I am done welding.

Nice work Curtis!

Now this aint my truck at all here. but he pulls around here and what not. Can anybody help me out on what that almost squeeling noise is when this thing lights. i cant believe its turbo, it really stands out when your listening in real life you can hear it in the beggining in this video.

Some wastegates will do that. Could also be boost leak or exhaust leak.

yeah hopefully the cooler weather this week makes it a little nicer to work in the shop, yesterday was miserable!

Two words.

Air
Conditioning.


We kinda have it in our shop. Basically a big heat exchanger with a squirrel cage fan. It was a few thousand I think. We run well water through it. Works good. Keeps the humidity down more than anything. Keeps temps under 80. But I guess I don't know what you would do with the water. Ours just goes into Tanks which feed the waterers in the barns.

Thanks Dave! How are you making out with your ride?

Waiting on my turbo and I really havn't had much time to mess with it. We picked up quite a bit of extra land this year so the farm has taken up all my time. Hopefully will finish planting tomorrow and spraying corn later this week. So I'll have some time to spend on the truck.

Curtis, I've got a bellows strap I'd like you to run. It's a lot like a slip on collector clamp. I'll try to get some made up this week if you're interested.

Like when I brought my other truck down to you for body work? You were picking up the extra bolts off the trailer haha.

Truck sounds strong, hopefully the bad.luck bug passes.
