    Tad,
    I don't know if that's "Tad luck",sounds like business as usual "Alpine style"
    I had issues w/ the same part due to poor quality of the threads that were supposed to hold the block to the manifold.I fixed it by drilling out the holes & ran bolts all the way through w/ nylock nuts.Is your egr block cracked?
    Just my 2 centavos...sometimes a little JB Weld or similar can work wonders,although I realise the high temp. etc. comes into play here.
    Anyhoo,good luck & hope it's fixed soon, six wks. is a long time

    damn Tad,

    This sucks. I can't imagine being without my baby for 6 weeks. Hope you get it all resolved and if you want me to come up for a wrenching session let me know.

    Thanks for the offer. It will probably take you longer to drive up here than it will take me to install this SC.

    Contrary to popular belief, Maugan isn't the devil driving a VX. He does state his mind, but I've met him several times (including at Uwharrie a few times) and he's always been willing to help, even when it meant almost ripping the mirror off of his truck to help another Isuzu up a rain soaked hill.

    I can't him from stirring the pot though. He does know what buttons to push around here some times.

    (yes that is a bike hangar hook and yes this picture is a joke, Tad is actually standing behind the camera holding the strap with his hand)

    There's the devil himself, on the bottom end of my tow strap. What doesn't show is the rain storm that hit us about 5 minutes later. I remember that only one truck made it up that hill without the use of a strap.

    I'm in a good mood.

    Don't ruin it
