Maybe I can get someone to trailer mine down so we can finish it? lol

 

I've been doing some PM getting the truck ready for our trip to Newport, Riffraff East '16. My radiator was leaking so I replaced it, new Motorcraft water pump, new hoses and clamps, rebuilt the oil cooler, full coolant sytem flush with 20 gallons of distilled water and Final Charge ELC. Replaced the injector orings and glow plugs. It definitely needed the inj. oring job. 240xxx miles, its had a smoky hard start for a long time now. Black fuel filter. The truck starts and runs better than it ever has. It's definitely quieter and runs smoother. I'm thinking maybe somehow there was oil or fuel draining into a cylinder or two after shut down because after the oring job it spins over twice as fast as it did before. Go figure Anyway, I was bored and wanted to post something. Can't wait to see everyone again.

 

Thanks for sharing, glad it worked out.

 

I haven't really kept up with this thread, but for the non-facebookers, I'll be there along with my fiancé and my 2 kiddos. Unfortunately her 2 will be with their dad. Y'all know me and the kids are excited. Danielle isn't really sure what to think, but I'm trying to keep her convinced it'll be a great time, lol. We are actually going up this Sunday and staying for the week. Looking forward to seeing everyone, and especially excited that Rick and Roland are both planning to be back!

Here's a couple pics Lee took of my truck at the sled pull.






Riffraff donated $100 to East Tn Children's Hospital for every pull for a total donation of $5800!!

Thank you Clay and the entire Riffraff crew and sponsors for making this such a great event.

You can't tell in the pics, but I had a truck full of kids that were hootin and hollerin all the way down the track!!

We had a BLAST and can't wait until next year!!!!

Thank you Lee for taking pictures!!! He took 1000's of pics that will help us all remember the great time we had.
