Donor motor?:D
Kyle's truck?
any word on what the damage actually is?
Not yet. It did begin to puke trans fluid all of a sudden. It is still parked in the driveway.
Kyle moved and needed a place to work on the Lighting for a few weeks to get it put back together. A blower is apparently in the works and should be done pretty soon.
A blower? I thought he just got the motor put back together and now hes gonna slap a blower on it?
Blower is not going on yet like I thought, but he does have it and it is sitting in my garage :D Its getting dyno-tuned through Marillo Motorsports (sp?) once we put it back together, then retuned after he finds the right bracket for the blower.Quote:

sorry to hear that, how bad are the scratches?
Correction, blower IS going on now. :D The bracket is on the way, then we need to plumb up the intake/discharge tubes, get the startup chip installed, get headers painted and installed, and several other odds and ends. The trucks going to scream.Quote:

Nice, under warranty still? At 110k I am guessing no?
no warranty. It made it to Big Bend and back but will be going to teh dealer in the morning.:rolleyes: Camped out for a few nights in the middle of no where. Its amazing how people live out there. Saw lots of BP, one in a sweet lifted Powerstroke. Got a ticket on 10 for 92 after passing a black smoke puffing stacked Dodge and giving him the eye.:D Damint!
Here is a pic of the Lightning blower. We need to bolt up the headers, fab up the intake and fill up the fluids.
Bp?
Bald *****?
