Well it has been at the machine shop for about a week now, and it sounded like they were going to try and squeeze it through for me. I will call them tomorrow and see if there has been any progress, but truth be told the anticipation has been killin me. I HATE not having my truck, but this is not something that should not be rushed, so its a good lesson in patience.:D

FREEBEE

Funny because I had been planning on my motor breaking for a while now. As soon as I started modding my original, I got this one "just in case".
I did some diagnostic work for a guy and he offered this engine up to my service writer, for the work I did, so needless to say I ended up with the motor after offering up some free labor to my service writer.:doh:

Ah yes, the all-dreaded "freebie".

We as technicians never do any of those, do we?
:rolleyes:

907DAVE Tue, February 9th, 2010 02:04 PM

LOL......turns out the "free labor" was for me to help him R+R a 6.5 in a 98'.:cursin: He is not very mechanically inclined, or motivated either.

I think I got the short end of the stick, since then I have told myself that I would never do that again.

I will pay the price until then.:sigh:

Technically the engine is part of your property. And if the laws say that she owns half then you can tell her you are doing her a favor by building her half. :hehe:
*I will not be held responsible for any damage you receive as a result of that statement. :smiley_roll1:

:rofl: Too funny.....I will have to remember that one.

Well we are not married.........yet......... but I think the common law stuff says half my stuff is her's anyways.........:censored1:
