mossback thats a cool pic of your lady! I actually took one just like that of mine a few weeks ago while she was driving us home. The rear window was open so her hair was flying all over, but still a cool pic none the less.

Mine likes driving the truck because it "sits high", but she doesn't like the steering and how it goes all over.


FYI, she didn't know I took the pic of her while she was driving. Its quite funny.

well the OBS turbos can be a pain. if IRC the lower bolt on the passenger side for the exhaust flange is a bugger. and that's with the engine out.

and yes, the turbo and pedistol come out as one. then under the pedistol there is a small plate held in with a 10 mil bolt. pull that off and there will be two biggere bolts. i think they're a 14 mil.
