Hate to see it go, but I dont blame you for a second. I will say that life is stress free in the retired pullers club
son of a... man I wish I had a shop like that to work on my truck :thumb: my puller is buried under 2' of snow right now
What are the winter plans for it?
Unfortunately the truck is not mine, the shop is though and it is nice to have. Gonna redo the rear end, as we have bent the axle spindles, have dually rear end to put in and truss up, new trans cooler setup and a few small things. Gonna see how the season starts before we work to much under the hood, and hopefully we aren't to far behind the competition l.

You got that right!
What size is it? Should pick up some good hp without that restriction in there.
We didnt have our truck running till Labor day, hooked five times and parked it for winter. Already have it tore down! Goin w/a, bigger charger, electric fans, and 38spline axles. The list never ends.
It's a BMW98mm GT55/60 Hybrid, and should definitely pick up some power without the 3" S400 in the way!

I dont either, but im sure glad Riley does!:hug:
I thought it was a great start too!! Ive also got some ordering to do. Which is fun till I get the bill.
myself for this winter i've been trying to track down the stuff to do a zf-6 swap in the puller but everytime i find a trans and pedals i'm a day late or its half across the country and shipping is rediculous! other than that i'm going a/w changing gears and would like to go back to sts's if i can get the duratracs sold
Started working on the new puller. Got the engine pulled and started tearing it down, spun 2 of the main bearings. Plan is to use the good crank that came with it, get the stock bore block line honed, have it balanced, cut the stock pistons, and run it. I may try and find a different wheel and cover for the turbo too. If I can get that done before pulls start, and get my welder fixed, I may try and get the remote mount turbo setup to work and add a A2W if I can find a deal on one that will work, if not I'll run the turbo in the valley and get a feel for the truck. One think I learned is I could pay for all my parts by charging admission to "help" me work on it. The night I pulled the motor I had 12 people leaning on it watching 2-3 of us work.
