Re: Hello from Bend, Oregon

Yeah, last month it threw a fan belt (so no water pump) and it pegged the coolant temp. gauge before I noticed it. Blew up the radiator. Engine is fine!
For me, an extreme torque 383 would float my boat. I once had a torque 350 that pulled up to about 4500 and that was a joy to drive. But I've never had a modern 5.7 like yours to compare it to.
