I haven't done much on the F250 yet. I did pull the diff cover and check the gears and everything appears okay and I treated the rust on the new axle with a rust converter and hit it with a coat of spray paint. Now it is a matter of doing the swap. I will probably replace tie rod ends etc. before I put it on the truck. My last work day is July 14.

I want to be retired. I have to settle for just being tired.

How about being tired and retired. That is the way I feel today. Oh, that's right, I'm not retired yet.

HA HA HA00 the valve cover was Curts fault-- The Radiator hose was actually mine :-) Plenty of blame to go around. The motor sounds great- even if we haven't set the timing yet-- have to fix the hood soon though.

I've been rolling 193k on the Jeep, been driving it for months and just can't seem to break past it. Maybe if I fixed the speedometer then I could get that working too? lol

Order some parts for the front end of the SD. Hopefully, I'll start the swap later this week.

No truck work today, but I did start inspecting and repacking wheel bearings on the 5th wheel.
