yeah, my brother looked at me like "you want to bring WHAT with you on the trip?"
but the truck had started acting strange a few weeks ago, and I did NOT want to miss this car!!!
it's really easy to change the IP on a chevy v8 diesel. nearly no timing difficulties, and it just bolts right in. ya set the timing marks on the gears before you unbolt the IP gear, and note where the timing mark is on the flange. swap, then line everything back up. aside from draining the coolant, and putting a new tc gasket or silicone on, it's about a 30 minute job...
