    and you thought working on IDI's was not fun...

    Really? Is that any different than a big rig with the flip-top hoods?

    and you thought working on IDI's was not fun...

    Probably most of it. For a while there I couldn't find the second battery. Thought it might have been in the glove box but I found it. Mechanics 10 years from now, if/when bio goes mainstream, will be filled with dread if a 6.4 rolls into the garage. If/when bio goes mainstream, all of...

    vans and intercoolers

    Is it a matter of having enough room to route the hoses from the turbo to the IC?

    Matco Leakdown tester

    Nevermind. Checked Matco's website.... It said that it's supposed to come with an M14 and an M18 adapter. I'll check it out tomorrow.

    Matco Leakdown tester

    There's a matco leakdown tester for $50 in a local pawn shop. Is there anything I need to look for to make sure it has everything I need? Adapters or anything else you can think of? Thanks.

    possible 6.9 transportation issue

    To officially close this thread, it doesn't look like my wife and I are going to be buying a house in Pensacola after all.

Are there ways to create more space or are we talking alot of work to accomodate an intercooler on to a...

    possible 6.9 transportation issue

    Where in Florida would we meet? It looks like Jacksonville or where I-10 meets I-75 would be the most likely places.

    possible 6.9 transportation issue

    I'm thinking sometime in October but this is just a guess. It largely depends on if we get a place of our own with a place to park it. We're temporarily living in my wife's cousin's house for free for the time being. The parent's of her cousin own the house, though, and plan on charging us...
