Disgusted with trucks performance
#213
Well, its been a very slow process, but I am slowly gathering parts to get Great White to run again.
I have a set of injector o rings, and Clifford's old sticks, going to try that before I lay a towel over the motor and declare it dead. But for now I just want it to run. We will see what that does.
I just ordered a new radiator for the ole girl. I sprung for the Mishimoto. Got a good deal thanks to Nick! He posted a link on Amazon for a Mishimoto. 229 bucks, and free shipping. I am estatic.
Next is saving up to get the parts to fix the diff. Get that done and we will be in business.

I was wanting to change the title of this thread to something that didn't sound so harsh, but for whatever reason I can not.
Haven't done anything to the truck, been busy dealing with closing our business, which has been taking up a lot of my extra time. I really hope to start after the first of the year getting some stuff done. I've been trying to get the new garage set up so I can work. Its getting close. Definatly much better than when I started.
That crazy guy from southern Indiana has been whispering in my ear again. lol. I know I was completely opposed at first, but green runs so darn good. I am going to do a compression test on it, and if I like what I see, I think white and green will swap mills. The 4.10s in green will make that old tired mill work less, so I'm hoping for a minimal impact, that I'll still be able to tow the camper with out much issue.
I'm trying real hard not to get my hopes up, but we shall see. I figure if it comes to a motor swap, the radiator is already out, wouldn't take much to just keep going. Get the engine out of white, take all the fresh parts off and have them ready, then swap.
One step at a time.
