having a little no fun

Today. This thing has way too many wires to move out of the way. This was 6 hours of work.

Are you changing the turbo

I wish--if so I'd finish tomorrow. I'm putting in an IPR research egr delete and uppipe. If I had time I'd tear down the turbo , clean, put in the updated bearing asn such but not this time. Maybe never. Just getting stuff out of the way is no fun. I dumped coolant on me, I'm sore from gead to toe, arms look like I got in a fight with a cat and lost, and I fell off the freaking truck on my back. Fun day.

"Sore from head to toe...." Did you stand up in that thing?

Yep, when you get into the late 97s to present they are a royal pain in the Sat, my 96 is bad enuff and everytime I look at the newer models I think of what a pain it will be to work on. Noticed I had a fuel sensor leaking this morning, fuel mileage dropped this last fill up and I thought it was the fuel at the new Kroger in Batesville but guess not, will pick one up tomorrow.

Yup. I wish I had the bones to do everything that might come up later now because I DO NOT want to go in again but I will at some point. I haven't been this sore in a long time.

You will be better, shortly.

Since you have experience. Do you want to help do mine? lol

As much as I would love too---nope I'd have to charge way to much :) Didn't see if your new ride is a 6.7 or 6.4 but as bad as the 6.0 is those two are worse. You have twin turbos two egr coolers on the 6.4 and can't remember on the 6.7 but I do know it's bad. Plus side on the 6.7 they only problems they have had is with sensors that shut the engine down but I think they have that worked out.
