I'm Eric, 33yrs old. I started out as an oil change jockey in my teens then "moved up" to a tire jockey, probably still in my teens. I was a Chrysler tech for several years until I got sick of half-assing jobs to make decent flat rate income. Now that I'm out of that I enjoy working on cars again.
I'm happily married with no kiddos, unless you count dogs, I think they count. My wife and I have been together well over ten years but only married for a few. Don't tell her I don't know how many, I just act like I knew at every anniversary.
Now I work at a shop that does custom work, way more fun than fixing broken LH body Chryslers. I've been there for 7 or so years. Occasional fun stuff mixed with the usual. Fun stuff includes a new 6.7 powerstroke with the urea tank turned into a water methanol tank, etc...
Summer time I autocross an old Volvo 142 with the wife, ya she drives too. The car does quite well, sure I could follow the easy formula of a miata, mini, subaru, or the rest but its way more fun to turn faster laps in a 73 Volvo.
I want to go do track time with it but driving it home afterwards is impractical. I needed a truck. I've liked the looks of the 1st gens and a customer came in with a club cab w350 that he had to sell because he bought a new Ford. Worked out well for me.
I'm pretty new to the 12 valve so excuse my dumb questions.
93 W350 dually, A518. DDP stage 1 injectors, and typical pump adjustments.
