Might be a little wishful, perhaps. I'm also wishful that it will be less than an STEC 55x, especially since they weren't making any more parts for it last I spoke with those folks. It might even...

$220k is way out of my range for an upgrade. Even if I got 50K for the engines I have, it would take me a century and a half for something like that to pay for itself. I do love the idea of diesels...

Two suggestions:

1. Sell it and give the proceeds to a good cause if you're not in need of the money. I'm sure any number of us would help broker the sale, or certainly Mr. Crews would. Seems a...

"Move throttle from closed to open slowly, then back to closed. Maybe 5 secs"
