Do you know how many hours and how much money you have invested in this truck.

so calculated my fuel economy this evening .. from this last trip , I avereged 24 MPG .. I know the tires throw the speedo off ,and all that stuff .. so I guess I will have to calculate it from a " map" milage .. to get a more accurate # ..
I also noticed some "belt squeel" so I ordered the URD pulley to replace the stock one .. it should add 1-2 lbs of boost as well

so I have decided not to put the URD pully on just yet .. but I did want to change the oil in the nose , so a little "how to" or how I did mine . locating the oil plug is the first thing .. on the second gen (black supercharger) is is located on the front right of the nose just behind and below the hose bracket I started by removing the bracket to allow more room and proceeded to remove the plug There are a few different ways to do this , I chose to use my brake line bleader worked great , old oil removed I removed 80ml of oil , so this is what I replaced I used a IV style to do so but it all back together , and tightened up the tensioner .. and DONE .

Corey, I've looking back at your build, and you did a great job on the rebuild. I hope mine can look 10 % as good as yours. I gotta get some space to tear into mine. Looking back the tub actually come down to 3 pieces right? I started trying to take the top off mine and thoght the other guy went nuts with the silicone.I've been trying to find out how much metal i gotta replace in the floor andlooking like i might just do like you. And didn they import alota trekkers up toward canada?
