    Nothing happened, yet. The last several years I've been working on my truck all spring, in hopes that it holds up through the wheeling season. The perches on our trucks are known for breaking when you start pushing them like I do, so I decided to address it before it does present an issue. Also using it as an opportunity to get a few other things done.

    Hey Squeaky... way back in this thread... like post #74 or so (Page 9?)... I recall you stating you had purchase a "Full OME" setup. But I never did see you posting about having installed them. Were you running Nitrochargers all around + 882's plus Dakars at one point?

    :rofl: Go back and read that rest of that post.

    I've never run OME leafs or rear shocks on this truck. I'm not a fan of either of those, as I believe I discussed in the BS thread.

    Cam seals replaced. Nice to see how clean it is under the valve covers.

    Going to get the new clutch in, including a braided clutch line, and then should be getting the engine back in tomorrow.

    Nice work, Brett.

    That engine looks fantastic for pushing 300k.

    I'm going to guess he's running Mobile 1 full sythetic, but that is a 100% wild ass guess...
