everything is mounted and hooked up. seems to work good, i think i have a bubble to get worked out in the hydro-boost but other than that it is good. i also think that i will end up buying a performance pump. the stocker works ok, but needs throttle to move the tires at a standstill or very slow motion when at idle or just over. street driving is fine.
need to take the clamp off and flip the one side so the halves line up better.
have a box of matching counter sunk bolts on order. i will have to re-goo the diff cover when they come in tomorrow

what size tubing did u use for the cross member under the engine. I'm a rookie at fabbing but I figure its time to learn.
it is 1.75" .120 wall DOM. it was an easy part, two bends in identical in the same plane.

My truck also is just used for parades and local cruise nights. The truck gets more attention than the 700hp camaro my son and i built. I to only put on maybe 1000 miles per seaon. I say season because it doesn't go out on the salty streets of northern Illinois in the winter. What's really amazing to me is that i"ve never seen the M715 on the street before. My truck has to be the only one of it's kind around here. Have been doing car shows and cruise nights for 30 years or more, and never ever saw a truck like mine. Maybe living in this area has something to do with it. It's a shame if people have to let their trucks go because of costs, but it's also nice to know people out there are still waiting to buy them. Happy Holidays.
