Message: [QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 563857, member: 25"] It took me 18 months of acquiring parts to built my 7.3 so it could run in the early months of 2007. My Duramax has been down for right at a year while I go through the chassis and I ordered the first round of parts for the big stuff 6 months before I started and didn't get the last bits of the first order until 6 months ago. It took me two years to get the custom plungers and barrels that I designed from a machine shop that specializes in plungers and barrels (by they time they are rough machined, hardened, ground, sent to Europe for a special coating, shipped back, and fit - all while lumping them into other batches of parts going through similar processes while the economy was in the ****ter) - keep in mind that I am the parts originator, its not like I ordered them through a shop and could just call up and complain - they are my baby. Custom means long lead times and patience. These parts for these trucks are often crafted one at a time or in very small production runs that must be fit into a schedule for all the operations to be completed in a certain order - that takes time. Generally speaking no one pays enough to get things in the timeline they think it should take. [/QUOTE]
