Well, I'm happy I started to get ready for Memorial day weekend early!

The Dodge left front caliper locked up solid on me, lost the tail pipe too.
Just changed both front calipers and installed a new 4 inch MBRP exhaust (down pipe back) last night with my brother in-law in the rain, on our backs. Fantastic!

The GN, took the header off the passanger side and brought to my shop and had it welded up. It was cracked in 4 spots!
Gee, I wonder why the boost was screwy!

Still have to run it, get the antifreeze out of it, change the thermostat, plugs,oil and I should be good to go!

Next we gotta get the Motorhome cleaned up and ready to go.
Got the generator fixed at the end of last season....

Yeah, she has been on the back burner for a while now.

I forgot to add to the list the front brake caliper lines on the Dodge . You touch one thing and the next thing in line goes.... Truck sounds pretty stout with the new exhaust though!

I also forgot I still have to put the fuel cell in the GN that I got from you last year!

How many weeks and counting?!?!
