The only beatings the trucks going to see is at the track and the occasional why did I put so much money into this this reminder :driving: I still need a transmission cooler,wheel bearing,and some other odds and ends so it will still be a few weeks before it's on the road. I'm just glad it runs and so far is shifting good.

Thanks Devon it definetly feels good to hear it run again. We ran out of wood for the fire so I had to resort to burning tires lol.

Update: Kayla had been bugging me to let her run the truck since I finished it so we took it the track for some shake down runs last Wednesday night. After 2 runs and the truck holding horrible rail pressure it ran a best 12.5 at 110.98. After the second run I noticed oil under the truck and couldn't tell what it was coming from in the dark so that ended the evening. The oil leak turned out to be from the Tcase vent so no worries with that. However saturday I popped the hood to do a return rate test (after almost 3 days of sitting) and noticed the upper radiator hose was hard as a rock :( relieved the pressure started the truck drove it up to the garage and it was hard again already. The motor is coming out and the heads will be gone over and recieve some screw in cups.
