    I think you mean http://dirtydingo.com/
    I knew it was something like that, I kept wanting to say funky ferret or jackass jackal or creepy coyote, but it was that dirty dingo all along....

    Beau, we took HD video of the wiring on the donor truck before removing it - 5.3 and 6.0 should be identical... lemme know if you want it and I'll see what I can do...
    You sir, are a saviour!! If you can use one of those sites that host large files temporarily or if you can burn off a disc or something let me know and I'll send you whatever it costs for incidentals. That video would seriously save my bacon right about now! Also, on a separate note, I wonder if that die would fit in a flat rate box.....
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Hey don't make fun of me!

    Well here is a preview of the video we took - this is from my crap cam. The HD video isn't much different from this one - it just looks better. I also have my dad's 6.0 1-ton Sierra here and can take pics of whatever for you... I owe you and Bart phone calls still btw! Also that die would be expensive to ship - round trip may be almost half price, no?
    Sent from my "two hands on a keyboard"

    Yeah, what I'm after is maybe like an engine on a stand where you would be able to see how the wiring harness wraps around it and how it attaches at various points to the engine. I am also looking for something showing what each plug on the wiring harness actually goes to. A fair amount of them I already know or can guess, but there are a few that I have no idea.

    As much as I hate pimping a competitor, USPS has the flat rate boxes where if it fits, it ships-for one low price. So if the dies fit in a flat rate box we could send them back and forth as needed for about $11 or 15 each way. It would just make more sense to split out the cost of the die(or get additional different dies) instead of us duplicating fairly spendy tools.

    I still think its a better idea for Justin to just move here so we can open our own shop.

    Yo Reno! I need your guys' numbers again... I was about to call tonight but I got a new phone last year and lost my old phone before I could transfer contacts. Oops!

    OK, got it... I'll lay out my 5.3 engine harness (which is already connected to the engine) in the engine bay this weekend and I'll take some pics of my dad's truck engine as well. Look for pics on Sunday.

    My bender is home!!! The die is indeed 52 lbs! It would need a box 12"x12"x3" plus room for packing materials.

    HAHAHA! That would be so fun! The problem is (ok one of the problems is) I would have to finish the Blazer before moving anyway. Just can't win.
