What, my truck?

Yeah, it's still running, and running great. I've only logged around 5 or 6K miles since installing the turbo, but it's doing just fine. I'm in the planning stages of installing an intercooler sometime in the not too distant future. At 14 psi boost, I think the intercooler would be a wise idea to help the engine last longer.

I think I'm maxed out on what my current injection pump can do. I'll probably need to upgrade the pump and injectors to do what I want it to, but that will probably have to wait.

Tomorrow I am planning on replacing my timing chain with a gear drive set made by Diesel Services Group. It should eliminate some smoke I have at startup as well as advance injection and cam timing. Hopefully this will translate into more power and better fuel economy.

Other than that, haven't done much else except drive it!
