    Well....

    It made it to work. First time in 4 years this truck has drove down the road. Guess now I have no reason on why it shouldn’t be finished. Going to convert back to srw, got 4 new doors to install, finish up the interior, install the arb air locker in the rear... then paint

    No oil pressure round three. Resolution found!

    well, after a long battle, the issue has been found. To those who said a blockage in the galley, you were right! No idea what it is, or where it came from, but this was found in the main oil galley pretty much right where it intersects with the feed for the tappet galley. Took some persuasion to...

    No oil pressure, round two

    ok, follow up to my other post a few weeks ago. Finally got time to drop the pan and check the pump. Oil pump is perfectly fine. Even took it apart to look at the gears, not a single mark on them. Now in the pan I found these plastic pieces. Hard plastic, they have a radius to them the same as...

    Radiator questions

    as many know, I am also shoving a dt360 in my crew can. Yes it fits, yes it's tight. Which is where this idea came from. Both Jared and jon are running the stock tall narrow idi radiator. Jared ran for months without a fan. Which got me thinking. Use an all aluminum big block rad. I have the...
