I wonder if the turbos actually DO anything, considering the way it is all plumbed..... not like they can build any boost the way it is set up. The blower probably does a real number though.....

Ofcourse. Detroit Locker in the rear, winch up front, on board air (to get tire back to pressure).

Think I'll just buy a 4wd.

they appear to just blow hot air into the intake of the carbs. definitely not functional boost wise. they are plumbed into that spacer plate above the carbs, but being there, there is nothing to stop boost from pushing right back out the butterflys in the intake, or recirculating right back into the intake of the turbos... looks like they really serve no purpose on there other than looks and extra noise.

no snow here. just rain.

wombat had to drive to the mountains to get a pic of his truck in the snow, cause there sure as hell ain't any around this area. either dry and freezing, (last week) or 38-50 out and raining (this week)

Gonna have to find a tarp and crawl under the truck so I can find and plug my exhaust leak. Funny, without the leak I get a CEL, I haven't done the non fouler yet, went and picked up the wife today, parked the truck and turned it off and turned the key back for the radio, then when I started it back up the CEL was gone, hasn't came back, but a very noticeable exhaust leak.
