welcome back! its good to see you doing so well. not everyone is so lucky. you missed all the fun with durango boy. too bad. there were threads upon threads on that subject and most of them were deleted. a few others got vacations because of the subject. for a while it was a no no to mention it. i still dont know if the whole story was ever put out in the open. it was entertaining.

This is fantastic news! Getting re-plumbed is big work, you don't need any durango whatever's impeding your swift recovery

Good to hear your pumper was rebuilt to new OEM specs! Always good to know members were just TDY for maintenance upgrades.

Keep us posted on how the dyno pulls readout and stay strong.

Welcome back.

Welcome back! I know what you're going through - had 2 heart surgeries myself. Not as much fun as people think! For a while just the mention of DB would get a thread locked. He's hangin at another place now. PM me if you want details.
