    Any of you Cat guys ever convert a pre-cup 3406 to direct injection? Pros? Cons?

    Getting closer, and finally got to pee in a cup. It's a twin to the one @OLDSKOOLERnWV posted a while back - 04 Manac, and for now at least, the side kit is going to stay at the house.

    It's old, it was cheap, and it's sat for a while. 3 wheel seals started leaking on the ride home, so I dropped it off at the company shop with my previously drafted wish list while I figure out how many load locks and rubber bands I'm going to need to keep stuff from rolling off the dang thing.

    It's the only way to go in my opinion. You just use the direct injection head and nozzles. (Really seems they are different but....) really cut and dry process. The increase in performance is well worth it in my opinion

  8. We lost 20 guys to the ban hammer for doing just that.

    I always have to have some on my headache rack, and I'm thinking those would work real well!

    Nope, not sure what I'd do with them, or what good they'd do with no lug nuts, one wheel and only one post left, lol.

    Not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if they forgot to torque or retorque the lugs. Lots of "no ####s given" in the shop these days. One of the main factors to my packing my bags before it gets worse. This was the last straw. No ABS and a leaking exhaust muffler are one thing, this could have caused death of me or someone else.

    Yep, already on that. Got a road test on Saturday, and might be able to get an interview tomorrow now that I'm not working (load is going out Sunday for Monday).

    My wife is all over me to give notice right away (I've got three weeks of holidays banked, she said do it tomorrow), but I want to remain as professional as possible and not go into that conversation rashly or without first calming myself from the ordeal.

    I also don't want to give notice without another job lined up. But we'll see how the road test goes.

    Hi fellas, I have an 88 western Star 4964 and I am in need of some window and door seals. The truck VIN 2wkpdccg8jk919761 is too old and the guys at the dealers here in San Antonio can not pull up any parts on there computers. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
