Bad news for me on my truck...looks like I need to get a new turbo, or at the least try to save and rebuild this one. Huge oil leak developed today. :(

I left work a bit dejected today after doing much more work on the belt drive system and stuff. I'll overcome the bullshit problems and work through it.

Have spirit, will prevail.

I could run down to the valley for you and look. I wouldn't say they're chop shops. But............... a lot of "used parts" places off 60 in phoenix with some real smoking hot
Maybe get me some reems for the hatchback.

OBC, are you still moving? I lost track of what happened with that.

Damnit car parts that don't quite line up properly...
Luckily it was just a plastic wheel well liner. So some tin snips, a few extra screws, all is well.

Ah yes….it blows because it sucks. A failed seal blew oil all throughout the exhaust system.

The bright side of course, is getting it repaired AND improving the efficiency while they're messing with it,...right? I'll find out some options on Monday and see if I can get it wicked up during the rebuild process. It's too bad that 25 years ago, I knew somewhat of a turbo genius who I'm sure is long retired by now. More boost is always gooder.

Used was certainly an option to consider, however I think in this case, new and or improved will be superior. This one of a kind truck deserves that I figure.

I've got my sights on the wheels and rubber I want (38" Nitto Ridge Grappler w/ XD13768068706N OR XD13768054906N not sure which yet), and the winch bumper has been ordered.(w/o paint as I will be messing with light options and some other stuff) The flatbed should be here by the end of Oct. (Aluma 81096).

My part in my duty to a failing vet, and my job are keeping me here, Irving. At some point I will eventually be in AZ as a primary residence, however there might be a lucrative opportunity for me here if I'm offered and accept it.

This, ..gentlemen....is why we have tools in the garage, tool belts, back yard barbecues and the Fourth of July to celebrate the best country on the planet.
