Truck is all buttoned up. Played hooky this afternoon, ripped the truck apart, then put it back together. Most of it was pretty easy, but the motor mount and a heat shield that was riveted to it damn near doubled the length of the job. Oh well, got it done. Only drove it about 5 miles, initial reaction with new turbo was meh. Has a bit more whistle, didn't notice much difference in performance or unloaded EGTs, seems like it may have a hair more lag which I didn't want. We'll see how it does with more seat time and more importantly towing. I'm just glad it's fixed regardless.
