Yeah, 4wd the whole way. Jarrett said he broke a shift fork trying to pull it out of 4. I shift to 2 right before I am bout to turn on the return road. I got the check valve at Oriellys, it was like $7 lol. Wish I would have had it at the track...

Should take it to Firebird on March 2nd. Much better DA there.

Turns out the bearings and crank didn't play nicely, so the 6.0 has to come out for a full teardown/rebuild. Can't say why just yet, but improper lubrication looks to have played a part in its demise. Funny thing was the only sign of problems was low oil pressure. It made no noise out of the ordinary.

In the mean time I will be temporarily be jumping on the stock 4.8 bandwagon with foose04 and Most Hated, so the truck won't be benched while I rebuild the 6.0
