Haha yeah, well still a few to go, but get, could be worse
My guesstimate would be sometime next month. (Been saying that for awhile lol)
As for the oil filter, they're super expensive, ($220) but I do really like having a metal element filter with magnets. We opted to go that route, as we plan on beating on this truck regularly. It'll be a daily driver, and will probably live on the street at over 800WHP. Hopefully to see as much as 1400+ with the new turbo. Considering that kind of power, I'd like to be able to crack the filter open and get a good idea of what kind of punishment the bearings are taking, and hopefully catch a problem before it becomes too late and a catastrophic failure happens.

thats actually not to expensive, I buy the K&N gold filters and those are $12 each time, so a matter of what...15 oil changes and that reusable one is paid for! the site claims they filter better too, and your right about seeing whats in it, every so often I cut mine open!

Cool, glad to have you on board though. I'm getting really impatient for this thing to be done!
