Yeah don't blame you for being worried. That is a hell of drive to haul an unproven truck...It's too bad you weren't able to get some passes on the track before hand. Good luck...

And how exactly do you prove something? Gotta run it to get a little faith, she has to fail before you can lose it.

Dripping leak fixed, go for it!

You know a long trip with fresh oil could be good for it before getting on it as hard as you can. But then this is not a fresh engine. So what is to be scared of?

Have fun at TS Chris. I might never make it to Wichita now. My relatives moved out to Oregon..

I'm trailering it there. Stopping in murfreesboro at the Fullforce shop to meet Jake and install my wastegate on Thursday.

I have 200 miles on it with T6 oil. I was blowing fittings on the hpop so i actually changed it 3 times in about 20 miles. Lol! Changing it tonight and going back to 15w40.

Yeah. LOL You're the second person to mention that! Well it used to say I love mules. We have mules. The letters were starting to fade so I scratched off a piece of the E and half the U.

Yes mules! 2 mules, 2 Mammoth Jacks, and a couple horses to be exact. I hate the horses though. Walking glue sticks.

Getting 11mpg. Not bad for 4:10's, 22k lbs, and running 80!
