that CTS sounds nice, since you don't lose any thing that you want to monitor. I think that housing has two empty ports but not sure. I know there is at least one.

let me know if you need a cts , I have 50+ here.

Will do Mike, thanks. I am still gonna need a converter I am pretty sure. Will let you know. I may just go down there and pull of the converter myself. lol

Dont work too hard pulling that converter. Ha Ha
When you do take some pics of my truck. The are just waiting on the heads to come back which should have been yesterday afternoon or today.
All this talk about a CTS I might get one. I use a Edge Insight right now which has been fine.

CTS are very nice, its really nice to know what all temps are and various other readings are. wish i would have gotten one sooner. . its a must have IMO.

for the LPO, i know the 6.0 has a LPO test port on front of the motor up top that can be tied into.. im not sure on the 6.4, even so wih ur relo kit. dont beat me up for mentioning the 6.0. jus thought maybe the 6.4 had the same test port

Love the truck, hope u have it up and running again soon

I get my LPO reading from a turbo oil line. Not sure what kind of line you have. I just used a nitrous gauge fitting and put a sensor in it.

I was there yesterday gong over everything that needs to be shipped to Morgan and I forgot all about your truck being there. I am sure I walked around it. lol They had three with cabs off in the left bay.

Sounds like everything will be boxed up and shipped by tomorrow, once it gets to Morgan he is on it.

To be honest I don't know what kind of line I have either. lol I know we could use the remote filter, but I want to tie a external oil cooler to that also. Will have to see but that is a good option.

Erik, Just wanted to say that I love your truck, a 6.4 with your color combo is one of my hopes to have in the near future.

Im sure you could probably tap into one of the fittings going into the External Oil cooler?

Dude, you seriously have horrible luck. Who is responsible for that?

Are you ***ing kidding me?! The thought process of some people never ceases to amaze me. Hope everything checks out at least mostly ok bud!

It was Brown's Diesel, I am through not sharing **** like this. That is how it arrived to Morgans shop, I saw it on a pallet and wrapped but never looked closely. Well they did not do a very professional job in making sure my crap makes it there safe. Morgan told me that nothing looks damaged but still. ***ing bs

IF thats how they ship parts, I damn sure wouldnt let them put it together......just sayin

not sure I would have a problem letting them assemble something but god damn that's horrible shipping.

Erikclaw · Jan 16, 2015

they aren't assembling anything just re installing the motor. But I agree, I have reservations about letting them touch it now. I decided to let Morgan assemble the whole motor, so if any issue came up there is only one to go to, not the pointing fingers at each other crap. I have faith in Morgan not these guys.

alradco · Jan 16, 2015

Just when you think you've seen it all, damn bro.

tbsimmons · Jan 16, 2015

I had a talk with Mike about attention to detail on my truck. I spent 4 hours on my truck when I got home with it on Tuesday from cleaning it to adjusting the intercooler and piping. They did good overall but some of the little things that make a shop good they missed.

Sent from the bat phone near a drilling rig.

holy mess....

dsberman94 · Jan 16, 2015

I've seen some stupidly shipped chit within the last year. That's up there.

Derek@Vision Diesel · Jan 17, 2015

That is certainly the worst packaging job I have ever seen hands down. Who sets a motor sideways on a pallet to begin with??? Your leaving the weakest point of the pallet to take the most weight.

Should have driven a bit farther north and we would have done the installation for you. Thats a mess
