I have a few things to take care of. but it sure is nice to have her back on the road. Next weekend I'll be picking up a 79 Bronco in Oregon. Will be good to see how the new turbo works out compared to the old one. And then towing the boat to Chelan over labor day. I'm thinkin the delivery valves need to be downgraded though.. I have been pretty nice to the throttle the last couple of days, but it still smokes a little more then i'd like even with just a little bit of throttle.. But I'm happy to have a truck again :cheer:

Looks good.

Did you get the gauges thing sorted out yet?

Nope, still screwy. I need to re-torque the headstuds tonight. I'll probably screw with it some more tomorrow, if finding a ground doesn't work. I'll swap computer with MikeR. and see if that fixes it.

I tried to build it so it wouldn't break. My $100 headgasket turned into just a weeee bit more :mad: . But we'll see. I am happy to say that the 325's don't rub on anything but plastic up from, and barely. So that's an easy fix.. woohooo


Nuzzy, she's all yours :redneck:
 
So when are we going to see hte utube video of the MAD burn outs.

Want to put in the 4.10's and limited slip I have sitting in the garage? Cause right now she's a one tire fire. Plus my clutch wouldn't like it, and the tires are way too much for me to just roast off of there. I'm a broke biatch. It's no show truck, just another work truck :redneck: .
 
Good to see you got it running, if for no other reason so we can give you shlt about it some more!:fawkdancesmiley:
 
diesel nationals are in September. I expect you BOTH to be there.. I'm going to try running mine for the first time..

And Jeremey, this new FE is REALLY grabby! It's definitely not the easiest..

I'm whoring myself on this thread now.. I like this pic :flipoff:
