Hope it works as well for you Will, as it has for me. I hadn't even checked mine in over 6 months, but after seeing this thread pop up this morning, I checked, and emptied it. It probably had 2-3oz. in it. Other than changing the oil in my truck, I haven't touched anything in about a year now...
Its the norm for the time being, as I'm trying to achieve some goals in life. I figure, I'll do this for a couple years, then go back to more normal work schedule. My 6.5 is running great, and has required nothing more than regular maintenance, which is good, since I don't have alot of extra...
Wow, I really don't visit here enough! Awesome project, and I cant wait for the results. That looks like it will be a very impressive pump, and I love those fuel numbers. I love seeing you ingenuity as well. Nice bracket! I changed jobs, and have been putting in 50-60 hour work weeks for the...
Nice work as always Nate! I may have to look into that band saw, as it would make a very handy addition to my shop. I look forward to seeing the finished product. :)

Ouch, that is high!
My plastic fittings are still holding up well. Its been 9 months, and at least 15 thousand miles. If they do melt, I'll replace them with steel.
Matt
Very cool pics Nate!!! So, whats the scoop on the twin turbo tuned port engine?
When I was a kid my dad took me to the Henry Ford Museum, and that was an awesome time.
Matt
Anytime you make it this far south Nate, just let me know, and I'll throw a brisket on the smoker. Oh, and forget riding in the truck, I'll let you drive it. :)
Matt
Everything looks great there Nate, and I'm really digging the shorter coated crown pistons, as well as the total seal ring. I'm a bit jealous actually. :D Hopefully this will be the last time you ever have this engine apart again. :)
Matt
While I certainly can't speak from experience, I would think a tune dialed in for an HX35 would be very different from one for the larger non gated ATT. Was the turbo in good shape?
Matt
Glad to see your truck coming together Paul. You do nice work, and I like your "while I'm there" extras. Its always makes me feel better about a job, if I tidy things up while I'm there. :)
Matt
Thanks for all the great comments guys, and I think its great that others are benefiting from this setup.
Thanks Will. Thats easier said than done, on the living vicariously through the other awesome builds happening here. :D I already went out and popped the hood on my truck a little while ago...
Thats great news Rob. I have over 10k on this setup now, and its worked amazingly well. I had to replace the idler arm on my front end a couple weeks ago, which required removing my intercooler. There wasn't so much as a drip of oil inside it. My 6.5 is leak free, and runs great.
I know I...
Now thats what I call an update! :eek: I'm glad you got it back on the road, and that its running well. Thats one fine looking truck! :) Does the trans controller work well?
