    Yeah, has the half skirts on it.

    I'm kind of partial to the stacks on the back of the cab rather than at the doors, at least on trucks with lines like the 660.

    The old school behind the
    cab KW stacks a cool AF. The ones where there kinda close together with the ring clamps? I can’t seem to find a picture….
    You know what I’m talking about…

    I'll say this from my experience. If I had it do over, I'd have bought a new overpriced $200k+ glider than replace/rebuild every component on an old truck. 3 year cost would have been the same with less wrenching, and a lot more weekends off. Going the route I did, I am still married to it until it fully depreciates, because no way I'd ever get even close to 1/2 of what I have in it. Literally the only difference between my 386 and a 379 is the cab mounts, hood and front axle location, yet I could get $70k more if it was a 379.

    Found out the difference between the mechanical P7100 and the semi electronic pump. Diff camshaft. We were making more power with the electronic pump. Pretty big difference. He only does mechanical, nothing with wires. He took our electronic pump apart to look at the cam compared to the one in the mechanical pump. The pump on now came off a 300hp Mack. If I had a 300 and brought him that pump I'd be happier than a pig in #### Lol

    So we're having a 13mm pump built by the same guy. He's building it now and when it's done will give him back this one. He's only gonna charge us cost of the parts, which I think is more than fair. He said a 13mm pump is actually less stress on the pump compared to a 12mm maxed out.

    Anyways in the mean time we swapped out the 1.32 housing for a 1.15 since the 171702 was a bit much. Holy hell that housing woke it back up again. Pyro is actually running a bit cooler now. Bout 800-825

    Trial and error Lol, 3rd times a charm.

    Sun just went down an hour ago, too. ######. Hopefully Brunswick Georgia will be a later warmer.
