Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 1441867, member: 1451"] Yea. Its good to be back at it. Ive been around and was still participating in the locals affairs until 2011 but ive completed all my personal business ventures and tried to return to that type of work in differing fashions but the pay was NOT worth it. Now with market activity picking up due to a perceived climate of growth due to Donald Trump being the shot caller, our contractors are booked THROUGH THE NOSE for 2017. One steel erector my friend runs work for worked 16 hour days from March-November the past couple years. He wants me to run on his crew for a while as a connector and then segue into a foreman to help lighten his workload. So thats my plan. Get on with them and make enough in 10 years to retire. Im putting away 15/hr into an sma and another 10.75 into a pension. Not to mention all my ot is double time. So you can see its a no brainer to return to the fold while the gettin is good. I worked yesterday and today again. Ill be scarce on here after spring but you can always text me. Ive got very little in the way of desire to get on anymore. Im gonna build an all out setup for my 00 with the motor being the main focus as the rest of the truck is new minus the original 250+k mile motor thats been running larger injectors for about five years. As for the drama portion of your post, the guy that is the source was not able to keep his setup alive for five years despite being certain Im the one who is an IDE. I have helped with builds on stuff ranging from pickups to 4 and 5 digit cats and cummins for otr trucks. There are members of this forum, like lincolnlocker, who have seen photos of 12 and 1300 hp motors being built and various others. Just because i don't come on here and make a huge production doesnt mean im a 7.3 owner derp who cant diagnose or repair anything. Quite the opposite. Ive had a handful of these trucks and have probably close to 3/4 of a mill miles on 7.3s. Including every mile on my 00. This guy that **** talks me bought a clapped out obs AFTER the whole stealth replacement pump "thing" was even a current event. He extracted all the hard work and trial and error that many of us helped to guide over the years and then after he bolted on the list of parts that were to make ex amount of hp, he became a mouthpiece. So based on that and which of us keeps bringing up "ide", draw your own conclusions. I promise thats the last time Ill engage in anything, positive or negative with "him". His mental problems are beyind cute or constructive at this point. [/QUOTE]
