Started it for the first time in... well, since it got cold.

Just wanted to make a video to make fun of some Cummins buddies who's trucks don't like starting when you even mention the word "cold".

Still no heat (bad heater core), but I had to start it to see what was wrong with the steering. Two local shops looked at it and couldn't figure it out. Crawled around and had a friend running the wheel, and I found both tie rods (inner and outer on both sides) are trash. Or not installed properly? Which would be my fault :baby: The rest looks tight, but it feels really bad, even for trashed tie rods.

So, now I know what parts to order, and then I'll see how it drives. Hopefully that will get me to CA where I know of a competent steering shop to check the rest of it out. If anyone knows of one in the Treasure Valley (Idaho), shout it out!

Pulled the stock lly turbo, rebuilt it, installed an 03 Ford 10 blade turbine wheel and a wetzel compressor wheel and put it back together. That is a tough job by yourself in the garage. Runs really well.
