What's it like to be 16 and love diesels...Well just ask all my friends with rice grinders that can't keep up. Oh and be able to out talk your shop teacher and basically teach the diesel part of our High School....Oh yea......
Well, to give you an idea, I bought the Banks Power-Pack kit a few years ago for the overpriced rate of 2300.00, and now the only thing of that kit thats still on my truck is the 1.0 housing, and the intercooler. Their stuff is good, but you can do better for your money by looking around, especially at the sponsors of this forum..................Dave
