well thats cool he comes and gets it.

[85burb]

Yes it is about a 30 min drive to his shop and i didnt want to get ticket so he came and got it. I have heard his exhaust work is amazing so i am really hoping to see it soon. He is the same guy that did both my axles. Builds drag cars for a living. Wish i could work with him.

[85burb]

Well finally drove buddy with headers and new exhasut. It sounds amazing. The video is just a crap one for now. It does not have a h or x yet. The shop that did it did not have the parts to do it correct we a gread to put it in later on. But it sounds exactly how i want it to. I will be adding a h pipe tho. Sorry about the fuel pump noise. Will get better video this weekend. His work is amazing. It is beautiful. He was doing a duel 3.5 inch with x pipe in a new charger when i was there and he was finishing the x and it is amazing. VERRY happy with how it turned out.

Well i just had to go to my work and let a trucker swap trailers so i snaped a few pics. Also on the way home i flowtested my exhaust pretty good. Some punk kid and his lifted trash can sized exhaust dodge thought he would pick on poor old sububan. Well this night he picked the wronge one. In my town we have a section of two stop lights that are really close to gether. The first one he put his pipe close to my window and made it really loud. Second light we came to a stop and i knew he was gona try something. So i shifted my trans to 3rd so it shiftes firmer and the light turns green and i pace him untell i know he is trying to race me and i hammer down on mine. His is already at full boost so he is maybe half truck length ahead and by the time i am half way threw 2nd i am half lenght ahead of him. I stay in it tell i am sure he knows he lost wich was about 75-80 mph. I am about 1.5 lenghs ahead at this time. I am sure he was very surprised he just got spanked buy a old burb. If i would have punched it off the line i bet he would have neve even got any ahead and i would have had 2+ lenghts on him. I was very very surprised at the outcome. That makes buddy 2-0 on his race record i think.

Exhaust looks and sounds great! Those bends are super smooth, looks like no crimping at all.

Took the ole burb out for it first cruse in many months. Ran great. I adjusted my accel fuel setting to +2 and it seems to like it. My little girl is finally ok with riding in it agian after a few tears. She used to love it. Then she hated it now she likes it again thank goodness.

Also in unrelated news i finally got my new service truck in today. It is almost done. I cant wait to drive it. Right now i have to drive a Ford.... My new one is a 05 pete 330. Old was a cummins 5.9 pos. New one is a cat c7. They had to extend the cab so i can fit in it comfetably.

[85burb]

Place an order for a new motor crossmember today. When i slid motor forward to get headers in it made the pan touch the factory crossmember. So this one should fix the problem. I emaild them and they said to use the big block member. I have seen a pic on there site of one installed. So hope it works. I really would like to not hurt my pan.

[atopper]

[85burb]

so when do you get the new x-member?

[85burb]

Oh i have been busy. I got it tuesday i think. Looks just like the one in pic. It is even nice and shiny. Not sure when i will install it. I am going to san antoino for cummins traning this weekend and wont get back tell next sat. The welds are amazing on it. Wish i could build something like that.

[85burb]

Well my battery finaly died on me. Went out to start it to drive to car show and it only just clicked the starter. So we had to take the wifes car... Came home and jump started it and alt is putting out 14v. With truck off the batt is at 12.5v. If any load is put on the electrical system it falls fast. Even with the dome light on it drops. I ran the truck for 15 mins and it still would not crank over buy it self. It is about time i guess. That is the same battery i bougt with the truck in late 07 to early 08. I was hoping it was the alt aswell. It is the only ugly thing on my motor. Did not want to take it apart and paint it. Maybe next time....

So any one know what size fits in the tray with the factory wedge hold down? But it has to be top post. I was looking at a group 47. Not sure yet. May be a few weeks tell i can scrape up money for a new one unfortunitly.

[85burb]

So after being kinda sad about the batt i tryed to install my new cross member. So i removed the 4 big rivits and 4 bolts. Then tryed to install my new part. It did not fit. It hitts the passenger side of the pan. It wont even bolt all the way down. So i have two chocies. Have the cross member modifyed or find a way to lift the motor up about a half of an inch. Here are some pics. I did notice my engine is a tad lower on the passenger side the the driver side. Not sure how to fix it or what hass happened. Any ideas on my mess?

[68 TT]

I would have the crossmember bent a little more to give you the clearance you need to bolt it up. Pretty much any mechanic shop with a hydraulic press could do that for you. You will probably have to slot the mounting holes in the crossmember to make it bolt back up though.
