Put some large chunks of firewood in my box trailer. It was real handy how the logs just rolled up the gate.;Really I didn't stand a chance of loading them in either the dump or the Logger's bed.:eek: Dropped them off at Mom's house for next winter's firewood.;Sweet

Installed a new exhaust tip...And deleted the muffler. Not sure that was such a good idea cookoo. I may add a small muffler/resonator before the end of the week.

2) primary fuel filter A/N #10 female hose end leaks from the XRP fitting
3) hydroboost leaks from I dont know where, keep searching

Towed a Dodge with a bad trans. OK, it was a rebuilt trans but on the way for a system flush so the shop will warranty it.
This was the first big pull I've done with it after adding an open exhaust and gauges. Last time was a '79 Rancho when it was N/A auto, much nicer now and hills aren't as much of a problem.
Still wondering where all the boost is, I can hear the turbo spooling but only seeing about 6-7# of boost with about 1100 egt running a few hills at 65mph.

Hauled a ton or two (long bed slightly heaping) of river rock in the back of the 2wd. Rode like a Caddy, and acceleration and braking seemed the same as unloaded?

Nice pics. Now did you remember to coat the top two and bottom two water pump bolt threads with RTV. Those 4 bolts enter the oily side of the gear cover. Oil will leak out past the threads. Nice looking new water pump too. When I use RTV I smear it on both sides of any gasket just to make sure is coating it with a thin layer. That way I know its well coated and not much will squeeze out when I'm done.
