So at the end of my trip to Rubicon in June I noticed my truck was running on 3 cylinders!! Bummer deal cuz Now I'm kinda rushing again to get my truck together before the MCR. I pulled the head and look what I found!



Im kinda stoked though because its a relatively easy fix!! Just a head job and she should be a power house again!

I'm glad you were able to get her up and running for MCR! It was really cool to finally meet you in person and check out your truck too. Hopefully I'll have mine there next year.
