My buddy has an all new setup this year so they were hunting for a larger engine during the off season and got a call from a friend that a guy in California was going bankrupt and needed the cash so he unloaded the engine pretty cheap. I haven't seen it run yet since they pull all over Ohio. I imagine I will see the truck again next week sometime after they pull it apart to check it after this weekends pull.

Curious as to what you mean by bigger engine. The diesel motors in Chevy have been the same size since 2003. Dodge has changed once since 1993 and Ford has 4 different motors but as far as displacement you can't get them bigger really unless you bore them over stock which most Chevy pullers are well dodge too. I follow the USA east points series pretty closely and I'm curious if I've seen this truck pull. My buddy pulls with them in his Ford and hangs pretty well. Is currently leading the global truck outfitters series after his win in the 2.6 class last weekend.

Bigger as in displacement. I am not sure how many cubic inches it is, but it is pretty damn big. This is a new set up this year and his 3rd pull is tonight. I will get some pics and info for you.


That was a pretty nice pull.
 


So yeah... got myself a new NEW job LOL

was working for past monthish with one residential HVAC company, when out of the blue i got a call from a Commercial/industrial company. I had applied back in april as a recommendation from the prof of my program. well turns out they want me..

Congrats monkey man! Feels great to move on up the ladder.
 
Congrats Jordon! You deserve it buddy. We both got hired at the same time so maybe this is a sign in the next week or so I'll get a better position or something :D
 
Congrats Jordon!

A popcorn machine got the best of me tonight and left me with this beauty....

Hurts like a son of a b... and is on the joint of my right wrist, which in turn makes things really hard being right handed and trying to avoid using the wrist because bending the burn hurts awful. It looks worse in person and is pretty puffy.
 
thats gonna leave a mark.... tommy boy reference.

hope that feels better fast, i hate burns, they suck. as long as it dont blister, its not to bad.
 
Looks like fun Danielle. I got sunburnt right on top of my knees. Had second degree burns on my right knee. Could hardly bend, or unbend it for several days so I can only imagine the pain you are dealing with.
 


Idk what degree this would be?
I didn't loose any skin. 2 pretty decent sized blisters and a few smaller ones. I got some burn cream to put on and super large band aids to cover it tomorrow as I will be cooking and serving food and doing stuff that could get it dirty.

I've clamped my ear in hair straightener before, that hurt bad but nothing like this does.
 
first is red and sore, second is blistering, third the skin melts off to flesh.

ive had many 3 rd degree burns, small as they were they hurt like mad. well one was 3 x 3 inches in the top of my knee, lower thigh, that one sucked bad, watched my flesh bubble.

you've got 1 st and 2 nd degree burns, if you got a few blisters.
 
Thanks for the definitions! I had no idea the differences other than 3 is bad.
The burn cream I put on is already helping pain quiet a bit so hopefully it will heal quick. *fingers crossed*

I can't imagine getting burns on tops of knees, I think that would hurt something fierce. There's a lot of skin flexing going on there.
