After installing the engine, we found an oil leak. We are in the process of getting that fixed. I sent an e-mail to Joe, and I followed up with a call. He had his answering machine hooked up, so I left a message. He called me back this morning, and is working with me and my local shop to get the problem resolved. I hope to be breaking it in by the weekend.
got the call ....Thanks:rock:

The truck is home. The suspension needs tuning big time. The exhaust is horrible sounding with it only half installed. And she pulls to the left a bit. So I have my list of things to do starting in the AM. For now, me and my little girl are going to dinner in the baddest ride around

I spent the day driving all over the local area going to the different playgrounds. Between playground stops we got the ABS calibration done (set for the tire size). They quoted me a price of $100.00, but they only charged me $50.00. Seems a little pricey considering how quick it was.

Dale we need more pics homeboy!
After a little research tonight, I think I am going to reconfigure my link bars a little. Tomorrow, I plan to adjust the angle of the upper link. From my reading that will actually create a tendency to drive the axle into the ground as forward momentum is applied. We will see.
Link bars are reconfigured, and i saw a big improvement. I will have to try still more configurations to see what happens.
I went to get the exhaust done, and I was turned away. It seems there is just not enough room over the axle but under the panhard bar and around the spare. They are having me go to the sister shop tomorrow to see there best fabricator. They are thinking he may be able to make some sort of X pipe to cross through the gap. Maybe a dual 3 in to a 4 then back to dual 3? We will see. If not, I may be stuck with doing a turn down off of the muffler till I can find a body shop to make me the side exits like I saw on some one heres truck.

it will be interesting to see how your truck actually runs on the track, but i guess we'll have to see in the spring..... :dontknow:tinygiants said:
Well, the exhaust did not fit over the axle. So it is now a side dump ahead of the passenger wheel. I will look into doing it the way Doneo did his, but it will have to wait for a different financial time. Other things are still left on the plate to do.

The truck has a date with theses guys: http://www.carbconn.com/
on Dec 2nd. They have experience with vipers, Roe SC, and with the VEC software. So I should be dialed in to get a nice break in tune going.
