First and foremost... thank you to everyone at Vegistroke and Dan (my installer) and Mike (my oil resource... and co-installer).
The kit was flawless.
The install was flawless.
We started the install after a nice steak dinner... and unloading 800 gallons of oil out of Dan's trailer. By the time we got to the shop to do the install it was after 9. 9:30ish we got started on the install. I believe we finished it before 3:00am... which has to be some kind of record.
Mike and I were amazed at the "simplicity" and completness of the kit. Dan did most of the hard work, and Mike and I did the monkey work.
We crushed 1 coolant T, and quickly repaired it.... and that was the only hiccup. Initial vegi-burn was after about 3 miles... but I've since reduced my times to less than 2 miles. I think Dan went just over a mile and both of our kits started at the same time. He was pulling an "empty" trailer... and I was rolling on 40s... so we both had small loads on the motors. I have over 50 miles on oil so far, and will have over 100 by Monday. I don't see any foreseeable (sp?) problems anytime soon...
My hat is off to anyone and everyone who had a hand in designing the kit... and then getting it out to the public.
I've learned so much from these forums in the last couple months, I was already pretty comfortable it the workings of the V3.
I'll be buying a fuel pressure gauge soon... as well as a fuel transfer pump.
I've already shown about 20 people the kit, gave them a 10 min speach on "how it works", and having them see and touch it in person really helps them understand it.
Thanks again guys... after I change my first Donaldson... I'll be chiming in. I'm going to tear it apart and see whats in it.
