He made it public business when he said $40/hour in some other thread.
However, Dave is open with that data. I recall having zero truck play money for anything with a truck payment, house, food, play etc at 55k. So I know the felling, but I never managed to break much back then.
Yes I did make it public. My bad. I certainly didn't mean for it to sound like I was braggin or for it seem the norm...
But the normal part time pay for most all our jobs is $25/hr. The $40/hr. jobs are very few and far between and make up less than probably 5-10% of my yearly combined total for the part times....
Hope this clears this up......
Oh, and my normal dept. hr. rate is less then $20 / hr......
well dave, if it makes you feel any better my turbo crapped out sunday...its on its way to ED as we speak. and you guessed it, i ordered a bigger one lol.
im gonna track your big ass down at TS and buy ya a round!
georgboy...i like your idea. it may ruffle the feathers of some who maybe dont know dave that well. i sure as hell wouldnt let somebody shoot at me for40-55k a year. hats off to ya dave.
Very sorry to hear bout your turbo man! Glad you went BIG though!!!
I'll def. see ya at TS!! Lookin forward to putting MANY faces with names and Shaking lots of hands to Say "Thank You" in person!!!!
Dave whats the status on the build...?
Well, just got back from Jeff's today....Tore down the used motor and got the head sent off to be worked....I'm hoping it will be ok...It looked pretty bad too, as it was a blown motor too.....We'll have to see...
I've had a couple folks donate pistons to make sure I can make a good set with them...Tried to clean the few I took out of the used motor today...They are sitting in the parts washer now...
Jeff had to order the ring kits and lower gasket kit for me today...
Got the block honed out from the last build ( the one CSnyder donated ), so it will go back in as well!! THANK YOU CHRIS!!
Now just waiting on my turbos to get back from Glenn at E.D. RonA and Glenn are helping me with them!! THANK YOU guys!!!! Glenn may have even added some more "BLING" as he put it to my S480 for me! =)
Todd at TCDiesel modded my rail and my RV for me and it's on it's way back!
PPE has my ECM, Dual fueler controller, and the blown fuel line.....Not sure on the status of the ecm and fuel line, but I DID get an email stating that my Dual Fuel controller DID NOT pass thier inspection and had to be replaced.....hmmm!! I wonder if that had anything to do with my pressure spike?? I don't know how it works so I'm not possitive if it could....
My injectors were sent to Don for inspection / testing after that spike and to see if the tip was missed up from the metal bangin around inside the cylinder......I'm not sure if he's gonna swap me for the 03/04 tips or not yet....I'll have to round some up if not....
I think thats about it for now though!
I'll be posted more later when I get it done....Will try to get pics of the build too...
Thanks again to All of you guys!!
:Cheer:
