1st Anniversary!

One year ago yesterday, my truck drank WVO for the first time! :D

Here's a link back to the pictures of it's maiden voyage. CLICK HERE! It's amazing how much one year changes things. The only thing that's the same on the conversion one year later, is the tank and part of the fuel lines!

Isn't it pretty? And we swore we'd never buy gas again...

Makeshift Turbo Controller

What do you do when you want more turbo power for less? Ok, this isn't exactly professional, but it saved me $110 bucks, and for the most part it works!


With this goofy little wire I doubled my turbo pressure! I still have too much back pressure on my exhaust system. Maybe I can change that. ;)

Please note that this is not recommended for 1994 and newer 6.5L diesel engines.

I can't even sit still

So for those of you who know me, you know my "luck" with police has been bad from day one... actually no, from day eight to be more precise. If you can imagine it, I can be stopped for it, and I'm NOT exaggerating. To quote a cop that was referring to a ticket he was giving me, he said "Well, you were thinking about doing it". Haha... Well, today something happened that I had never imagined. I was stopped in a parking lot, with the engine off, outside my vehicle, messing with my turbo linkage. Yep, apparently there is a local ordinance against working on your vehicle in a parking lot!

Fortunately he was nice about it and didn't give me a ticket.
:D

Winston Playing in My Truck

As is normal for little Boys, my nephew Winston loves cars and trucks! So while working on Luke's truck the other day, he enjoyed playing in my cab. Here's a cute video of him last Thursday.
