Then 3rd 160 mile trek, this...^^^
But then coming back home it was awesome.

Fwiw
Doing the tanks the stealership wrenches unbolt 1 side of the bed all the way, and loosrn the other then tip up the bed...
Does make the rear tank easier, you rustbelters? I dunno...
I would hate to even think about pulling my bed bolts!! I can see a lot of breaking going on

Finished up what was supposed to be a quick job of injector return lines, valve cover gaskets, and new thermostat. ended up powder coating most of the parts i took off. All back together and so far no leaks (knock on wood)

This is supposed to be an oxford white match from prismatic powders. Need to find some powder coat matches for my blues as well so the whole engine bay doesn’t turn white.

I made another 450 mile trip to Montana last week with all my foundation ICF blocks and a bunch of my tools. Hoping to get that dug and poured this week.

The old 'Silver Alert' as I call the thing, seems to just keep plugging along. All in the trailer, conex and foundation was right about 10,000 lbs. There's two spots on the road in where it's 9 1/2 degrees and she crawled right up them in 4 Low and second gear.

Always goes just fine when accelerating, but is starting to clunk hard in the ZF5 when down shifting and trying to use engine braking. Gonna have to research what that might all be about.

Thanks for the encouragement to keep plugging away at this thing. Been fun to see what it can do.

Cheers, Pete
