    Well it can't be explained or described easily.

    We get to this receiver. South Central Los Angeles. All Mexicans. MS-13 gang tags all over.

    High value/ need to know load. No BS.

    I look at The OM and I'm like, "Really? This is the place for transfer?"

    Go in. Sign in. " We'll call you when we have a door." 0830 Insert theme from JEAPORDY here. "You have to back in. All the way in. It's very tight back there."

    4-10

    Walk back and look at this total fluster cluck. Get back in the truck. Tell The OM, " I dunno if I can get back there."

    The OM is like," Might as well make a sandwich while we wait."

    Loss of Boost Update:

    So morning after repairing leak in the intercooler plumbing I still was not getting full boost. So I looked up the codes that were not going away, both were fuel pressure codes. This led me to check my davco more closely... It was nearly empty, filled about 1/4 of the way and got back on the road. This appeared to help a little so the next rest area I stopped and filled to about 3/4 full. This helped alittle more, but still not getting full boost. Seemed like it was starved for fuel. I let my home shop know that it would need to be looked over when I got it home.

    Today I was informed that it at least needs a new cam... But unsure as to what else it may need or how long it will take. So looks like I might be off for a few more days than expected.

    I might do some local work in a different truck, but I'm not about to move all my stuff from my truck to another for just 1 week and then have to move it back.

    Weak word meaning; that "awkward", in that context.... Replace with "defining".

    Any chance the new house might be available to move some "plunder"in? Get a start on it anyway.

    Sounds like your high value load might have been some high speed chicken feed.

    Blame the person who wrote it.

    I just liked the guy was about to be eaten by a shark.

    How did you manage to wear out a cam already? High rpm for long durations? How long between drains do you guys go?
