I got the clevis mounts for the front end straps today and got everything installed but the straps I ordered (10") are too short! Damn! I ordered some 12" that should be here sometime this week....Also have the new rear shock mounts tacked up, now I just need a better welder to finish them off.

I changed the rear diff fluid, trans, and motor oil and everything looks great. I cut open the oil filter for the engine and everything looks normal!

Good to hear! What are you doing about the turbo bearings?

For now just letting the truck idle longer after runs, but I was already letting it idle for a few minutes so I dont know how much help that will be.

Ive started to shift the blanket over so it can loose heat easier after I park it, but I may end up taking the blanket off all together. I ordered a infared heat gun so ill see if the temp is rising after I shut it off...

I see. I assumed they weren't salvageable.

Are you coking the turbo? There's a aftermarket turbo timer that you can buy that helps with that.

When I had the compressor wheel upgraded he basically rebuilt the turbo, so all the bearings are new.

I was under the impression a turbo timer just keeps the engine idling for a few minutes...which is what im doing anyway.

are you running an oil cooler?

Yea, a B&M 30,000btu, -8 line...

oil temps are fine, usually always under 220, its just the turbo sits there and cooks the oil after I shut it down, even after letting it idle for a few minutes.
