    Dumb things you have done truck wise!

    No problems with rust I just kept everything oiled up, and covered up all the parts, and kept the motor covered with towels and a extra tarp, the biggest problem was pine needles.

    Dumb things you have done truck wise!

    I rebuilt my motor in my backyard under a tarp over the winter. It has had a few leaks, since the rebuild, valve cover gaskets, front dampener, which I fixed, but it still had a leak from the oil cooler housing near the oil filter. And I had used the metal gasket, i did not know at the time...

    Classic Diesel Designs 61mm drop in replacement for a banks turbo.

    Its a garret turbo, made to work on a banks up pipe, ccd said it would make around 7lbs of boost with a turned up stock ip. So I'm in the ball park. I can rev it to 3k. It will go higher but doesn't seam to make a difference in boost.

The emergency brake pedal and mechanism need more them wd40 to break...
