Turbo opinions
I have no idea what size turbo. To much miss information on foroumns. Really no clue what the 62 65 14 turbo will do for me. Sounds like my hy35 is running cooler than yours. I'm on 100injectors smarty on 9 and waste gate turnbuckled. Also have 3.55s and 35s run same rpm as you. Towing a 10k machine is when things get toasty. Hopping the turbo helps that.

47RE Transmission Temperature Port?
I'm torn weather I think the hot side of the trans is info worth knowing. If the cool side in the pan gets hot then theres for sure serious problems.

47RE Transmission Temperature Port?
I think pan temp isnt a bad place. Then you know its running cool and is cooling well. Would be cool to see temps directly from the tourqe converter before it enters the heat exchanger on the block.

It falls on its face over 3000 rpm? ? Factory spec is at 2700rpm right?

Tips for properly installing the airdog draw straw
I pulled the bed off. Had a skidsteer handy to yank bed off. I can suck 30g gallons out of the tank. That's running with fuel light on. My girl friend ran it out but she ran with full light on for like 2 days. No clue how I cut the draw straw. I was alittle worried after reading about people running out at a 1/4 tank. My assumption is they dont follow directions or use common sence when installing parts. But we all know what we get making assumptions

Turbo opinions
I think that is about the recomended size for 150 injectors. I went with a 62 65 14. Unfortunately I havent put it on yet. I wanted to be able to upgrade from 100 to 150 injectoter.

Makita 18v light find.
59 bucks even had a small battery in it. I didnt even try to talk the 59 pawnshop price down just about worth it just to get the battery. So glad makita is holding true to 18v and not making obsolete tools like dewalt did to they're 18v line

Use a socket and short extension and trucks steering system to knock bearing loose. Back bearing bolts off a 1/8" or so turn knuckle and wedge socket and section against axle

I think you need a jumper cable in the fuse box under the hood

Front brake dust shields
I dont remember a spacer. Or how the dust shields attached. I usually have to knock a couple spot welds off with the grinder to remove them Branches and sage brush get stuck between the dust shields and rotor also had a bar wire mess one time that was all wrapped in the shield rotor and axle. They also get bent and contact the rotor and make funny noises. I'm not to sure what they are good at doing but I highly doubt they keep any dust out. The do more of keeping bad stuff in. Mine have been off for 5-8years

I've got a set of chains for 35s that might fit. I to have never chained up on a paved rd. I agree a hotel is the best option. It's not the 6" storms but the ones over there dumping feet and drifting highways closed that I'm worried.

Gona burn it like I'm young again.
Christine and I are planning to burn to Kansas. 2400rd trip in November. Well be dragging a ford home and everything of her sons we can fit on the goose kneck. I'm slightly concerned about snow going through wyoming(Evanston) I'll need to get a front driveline before possibly a set of chains to toss on the steers . I told christine if conditions are bad enough we could regret going my mind says November will be fine but the voice in the back of my head wonders if I'm making a mistake in agreeing to go. 4wd will only take so far doesn't matter if we cant see . In my younger days I burned Orlando to here in 48hrs non stop. 3 of us driving dragnet a trailer. I'm not young anymore and I'm not sure how this trip will turn out. I know I cant pull 2400 miles without help. I also know I'll never sleep with christine at the wheel. Truck is solid trailer's got knee rubber. I'll tell her steer straight and keep temps in check dont lug it in over drive.

Lowes craftsman warranty
I've read all that. Lol no more craftsman tools it's just stamp like everything else. I did get my 1/2" ratchet replaced at lowes but I did not say I bought ratchet 10years ago. Lowes did have a ratchet similar with a similar part number. I mostly dont have much craftsman left anymore. I have a 3/8 gear wrench that's my favorite and a few Pittsburg rackets and wrenches. I find I'm in harbor freight more often and prices beat craftsman stuff. It is cool to see lowes is replacing old craftsman stuff.
