Lol yea what ever happened to that guy. He said he was going to be buying a starter from me, got it all boxed up and everything, never heard from him again. lol

He just dissapeared, he kept trying to get me to come to his house and work on his truck, and i didnt have time and even if i did i wouldnt have cause i couldnt have took his smart ass mouth and i would have ended up getting in a fight with him

Based on this post, looks like he sold it back to the guy he bought it from. I'm still amazed that punkmechanic put up with him as long as he did!

Back to the subject at hand, Sean, did you get the right flywheel bolts yet?

 

[towcat]

Yeah!

Ban him!!

Some of us feed off these things like a drug.

you must lead a real boring life at the dog pound.
if nothing else it will slow him down on his daily phone calls.
i wouldn't want it any other way though
but he can keep his long distance bill though.....

haha yea there for a while I was calling you like every 2 or 3 hours a couple weeks ago. Atleast lately its been down to one or two calls a day with a couple days in between.

I got some bolts that are almost 3/4" longer hopefully they work.

Clutch and flywheel are on! CAT flywheel bolts were just a tad long for my taste so I doubled up washers on them just to be sure they wouldn't interfere with anything on the rear main cap.
Got my custom drive shaft done today. Didn't want to have a repeat of another unnamed members misfortune so I even had it built with a thicker tougher tubing.

Being stuck in the office doing admin work sucks but my "Supe" is out this week and me being next in command forces me to spend more "quality" time in the office than cruisin the streets.
So I gotta have my fun somehow.

Besides when I call either you or Mel, y'all seem to not be wearing clothes.

does that mean you have to change your uniform from slacks and boots to a skirt and heels?
it's not my fault I'm a later riser and you like calling when I am in the shower

Heck no! I only dress that way for halloween parties.

Umm, just for the record, I think it was you that called me that time.

Engine is IN!

Well after all the problems over the weekend I didn't post any pictures from then but they'll be included here.
But anyway the engine is FINALLY in the truck!
I think I screwed my brand new $80 oil feed line to the turbo though. Damn engine decided to set back against the cab and it crushed it. It's a stainless braided poly plastic line so I'd imagine its completely screwed. Not sure why it did what it did, even with the cab jacked up 6".
The cab moved sideways about 3" when the engine crashed into it.
There's a pic of the radiator support and my custom hood latch. Had to skinny it up to fit the intercooler in front of it.
But anyway here's the pics.

Somehow I must have missed or forgot the part of you stuffing a ZF5 in there

Just watch now. Whenever you get on the freeway the truck will get all full of beans and try to take off on you. A turbo 6.9 coupled to an overdrive tranny demands a lot of discipline. Make sure it knows who is the alpha male or they can be a real handfull

 

[6 Nebraska IDIs]

Yep ZF5 and a 1356 to finish the 4wd conversion. hehe
It's supposed to start snowing here on saturday. So I'm hoping to get this thing finished by then. Luckily my professors have been really lenient on the homework thus far this week.
