ok so only about 2 months after i started this thread, im finally ready to bring it to the top....made room down at the shop, got started on this last night...

got the truck trailered down to to the shop.....turbo was taken off in january so had to trailer

got it into the shop.....which sucked...but its there now.

and last night we pulled the injectors....these 205's are sold and headed to the new owner...his cores will be sent down to Craig at MPD...

Going to be a little bit of a waiting game now for a little bit, gta wait for the setup to get up here from craig, in the mean time i have some trucks i have to get done, but i will get the up pipes, and manifolds off inbetween at some point..... updates to follow

yea....its a pretty sick truck even for a dodge...as i have said in the past...most of my mechanics are dodge guys but the tow mirrors are rarely flipped up.....there is a lot of ball busting that goes on through the day...

powerstrokedkid87 · Apr 15, 2013

spoke with Craig last week, hopefully some parts will be arriving end of this week

powerstrokedkid87 · Apr 22, 2013
