    I should have a day that I can take off in June at some point, so I can make a 3 day weekend.

    How is the snow pack up there? I am getting my 14er itch. The somehow the crestones keep getting more snow.

    Awesome. If you can take a Monday off that would give us a full day. The tops of the mountains in BV are getting pretty light(been in the low 70's) the last couple of days. Leadville 14'ers still have a ton of snow. After this training is over I really want to start hitting the hiking trails again. This month has been so busy haven't had any time to do anything.

    I need to see what is happening with my jury duty the 3rd Idk if I am "free" on Monday yet. I get paid either way And I don't have a good excuse not to go. Also I figure that if I need to get out of it in the future it will be easier.

    You and Vince still doing Palo duro?

    I won't be able to get to Palo Duro, I have too much going on to take some time off and get out to Texas. Get me updated, I'm hoping the bumper ships next week and I can get it to the welder the week after.

    The 700 includes alignment, UCA install, and well on spindle gussets. I'm not too worried about doing the UCAs, I just have no way to do the spindle gussets myself

    Wow...looks awesome. This would be so cool to just be able to turn the dial and watch different cameras! Are you interested in making a little cash on the side. I'd be happy to pay you to build me a setup. I don't need all the switches...I just want the ability to hook up more than one camera to my display. Let me know Sir...sweet!!

    @6speeder what's "Fluid Film"?? Never heard of it? I have some new hardware I'd really like to keep from rusting. Is it exspensive? And where can I get it? Thanks!

    The curb at Taco Bell...hahahaha!!:itllbuffout: :taco:

    Any of you guys with a supercharger ever have yours get louder almost overnight? Mine is making more noise under boost now. It feels like it has more power, but the sound just doesnt sound like it should...

    New oil in the last 2k and the needle bearing have fresh grease. When I installed the nose cone bearings had no play in them at all.

    No sir...never experience anything like that at all. Are you saying the SC is making its normal whine...it's just a louder whine while under boost? Or is it making a different noise than usual? If it's the normal whine...and you're making more power...is it possible the SC is getting more air, therefore, making more power...thus louder? Sorry...it's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.

    I never hear mine unless I'm getting on it...then around 2200-2400 RPM mine will start to whine, but it never gets that loud at all. I have right at 20,000 miles on mine...and just changed the oil for the second time.

    It is a different whine. In musical terms is sounds "sharp" of the regular whine, for the most part under boost. I was going 65-80 so it was whining a fair bit. I thought about the more air thing when I was at a lower elevation(5200) but now that I am home (7600) it still sounds "off"

    It does make more power though...
