My '96 2500 Overhaul
Did more towing with the 2 car trailer between Xmas and new years. 6000 miles put on the truck in the past few months and still going strong.
Just installed the new PSC power steering pump yesterday and the steering feels real easy now. The reman'd ACDelco pump just wasn't cutting the mustard.
I still need to fix the transfer case rattle at 60mph. I see there is a TSB on that which seems easy enough.
Here is a pic of the load we brought in from Indianapolis. 7800 lbs worth of cars. I still don't know what the trailer weighs, but I'd guess the gross weight of the trailer was sitting at 10,000 lbs or so.

I own a shop that specializes in 3000gt's and stealths. Between Emilie and myself, we own about 10 of them. The red one on the front of the trailer is our newest one. We'll fix that up and use as a daily driver. The spyder on the rear of the trailer is a customer from Kentucky. He has his car at our shop every winter to get more performance work done. It should leave the shop this time making about 450-470 awhp (close to 600 at the crank).
My current list of 3000gts and stealths:
91 3000gt with matching trailer
91 stealth TT
94 stealth TT lambo yellow
95 3000gt with 13k miles
95 3000gt vr4 450 awhp
95 3000gt spyder
95 stealth (selling)
95 stealth TT
97 3000gt vr4 (should make 600 awhp)
99 3000gt vr4 (picking up next week)

Ordered up my 4.56 gears, bearings, and carrier for the front diff. They will be here tomorrow so I may tear into it this weekend to get those swapped in.
I'm hoping my viper pistons and rods show up today. I'll get cracking on the new engine build in the next few weeks. I'll be sure to do a before and after dyno result.
Oh, and if people need truck parts/accessories, let me know. I sell that crap too

V14 is the new v10. Like 50 is the new 30.
I'm building the engine up and going to swap it with my current engine. Once the break in is done, then I will boost it. Right now the viper pistons will bump up compression from 8.4:1 to 9.6:1, so I want to get that basic tune in before adding in another variable. Hell, maybe I'll just be happy with the performance gains of the new engine an never boost it... but that's highly unlikely.
