Default WOW.....I guess I've missed a few things !!!

As some of you may have noticed I took about a 5 month hiatus from EVERYTHING vehicle related and have concentrated on work, home, and relationships.....now that I've returned to the scene it seems that ALOT of things here have changed (LS1Tech spinning off PerformanceTrucks.net being one of them obviously)

Not much has changed on the truck lately with the exception of purchasing HPTuners and a new laptop so I can finally make it run right after the H/C swap, the collection of a complete twin-turbo setup (I'm still searching out injectors and an FMIC) and a taco'd driveshaft that occured last week (I KNEW I had a wierd vibration...it let go at 65mph on the way home...I had to drive 35 miles in 4wd to get home)

So...how's everyone been ???

Glad you're back! Looks like you're going to be busy with the truck soon.

No damage to the truck.....the driveshaft was spinning so fast it just slid right out and the engine hit the rev-limiter REALLY fast. it looks like the connection between the rear-yoke and the hollow part of the shaft let go, the rear u-joint was pretty mangled as it was still attached to the rearend with part of the yoke for a few seconds before it let go too

I've been pretty good....work has been all-consuming this summer/fall so I've had very little time to devote to anything other than my girlfriend and work.

It's good to be back.....
