Update:

The truck gets started/run for about 10min every week like clockwork and other than a slight hiccup the first week or so, she's been running like a champ. I even had some pics sent to me of the gauges so I could see what they were reading while it was running at temp; all checked out good to go.

Looking forward to being back home and getting a tune nailed down so I can visit some of the guys that have helped me out with the build, participating in some friendly racing (Spoolin/BlownChevy/any random Ford), getting another SoCal or So/No Cal AZ meet setup, but really just enjoying the truck.

Way cool Grippy. You should have no difficulties beating the doors off either one of those two! If all goes well next month I will look forward to a little run down to your side of town in say Dec/Jan?

Thanks!

I'm soooo ready to get home. I'm sure you have a decent idea of where I've been lately, not hard to figure out, probably google USS Decatur.

Yes! Dec/Jan timeframe would be perfect for a gtg. Probably best to wait until after the holidays. What's going on with Brian's truck? He told me he sold it at one point......
Heck, I'm just looking forward to seeing everyone and hanging out AND a TVS 2300!!!
LOL.

Word on the street, Grip, Brian was afraid he couldn't beat you. So maybe that's why he did.

TVS??? You haven't even used the 122 that you started putting on over 2 years ago. You have got to really be missing your truck at this point.
