Hope it works as well for you Will, as it has for me. I hadn't even checked mine in over 6 months, but after seeing this thread pop up this morning, I checked, and emptied it. It probably had 2-3oz. in it. Other than changing the oil in my truck, I haven't touched anything in about a year now...

She sounds GooooooD Nate! :) Matt

Its the norm for the time being, as I'm trying to achieve some goals in life. I figure, I'll do this for a couple years, then go back to more normal work schedule. My 6.5 is running great, and has required nothing more than regular maintenance, which is good, since I don't have alot of extra...

Wow, I really don't visit here enough! Awesome project, and I cant wait for the results. That looks like it will be a very impressive pump, and I love those fuel numbers. I love seeing you ingenuity as well. Nice bracket! I changed jobs, and have been putting in 50-60 hour work weeks for the...

Nice work as always Nate! I may have to look into that band saw, as it would make a very handy addition to my shop. I look forward to seeing the finished product. :) Matt

Very nice! You do great work, and I love the way your project is coming along. :) Matt

Looks really good Nate, and I like the valve covers much better in your grey paint. Matt

Ouch, that is high! My plastic fittings are still holding up well. Its been 9 months, and at least 15 thousand miles. If they do melt, I'll replace them with steel. Matt

Very cool pics Nate!!! So, whats the scoop on the twin turbo tuned port engine? When I was a kid my dad took me to the Henry Ford Museum, and that was an awesome time. Matt

Anytime you make it this far south Nate, just let me know, and I'll throw a brisket on the smoker. Oh, and forget riding in the truck, I'll let you drive it. :) Matt

You would not. Besides, I need my 383, because if we ever meet up, I have no intention of being in the lane next to your beast with my 6.5. :D Matt

Everything looks great there Nate, and I'm really digging the shorter coated crown pistons, as well as the total seal ring. I'm a bit jealous actually. :D Hopefully this will be the last time you ever have this engine apart again. :) Matt

While I certainly can't speak from experience, I would think a tune dialed in for an HX35 would be very different from one for the larger non gated ATT. Was the turbo in good shape? Matt

Nate, you are Hard Core! That is some amazing work, and look forward to seeing how it works out. Matt

Glad to see your truck coming together Paul. You do nice work, and I like your "while I'm there" extras. Its always makes me feel better about a job, if I tidy things up while I'm there. :) Matt
