Signed for the truck today. Got the DOT inspection and dyno done also. Now waiting for my steak and eggs at the Sapp Bros. in Omaha. Only 1 inch blow by and hp at peak levels. Rated 435 hp, tested 356 hp true. Interstate Power said it was very good for a truck with 467k miles. Hoping to continue the good luck. I sent my 2290 to Schneider along with the title papers. Tomorrow I'll drop the truck at a secure lot in Omaha and head back to Denver. That's about all for now. One day at a time.

Got back to Denver early this evening. The truck is parked in Omaha waiting for me to pick it up on January 2nd. Was a bit snowy in eastern Nebraska this morning, but cleared up the farther west I got. Here are some pictures of the truck. I have decided to call her "White Lightning". Why White Lightning? Because "##### you better not break on me" might be offensive to some. Also, she is a former Swift truck and I think she deserves to have a noble name in her second life, so White Lightning it is!
Anyway, here are some pictures.

Yup, gotta have my tunes! As for the gauges, It doesn't have a suspension load gauge, that is my first install, along with a block heater, that it also doesn't have and I don't want to do damage to my injectors cold starting it. I got a block heater for $71.00, so as usual, the part is cheap, the install will be a few hundred dollars, unless I do it myself, and I would have to get a really big container of some sort to catch all the coolant that has to be drained to install the heater. Hmmm.

Did you toggle through your dash readout looking for your load gauge? I have had three prostars and all had the electronic load gauge including the 09 I have now.
skyviper73 Thanks this. -
