Well at least you get motivated in the morning. It's 12:40PM and I'm still not motivated. I'll get motivated sometime around 8PM tonight and then I will go get some stuff done. LOL

Today's progress wasn't what I wanted. I tapped out the holes and put the inserts in, I hope they are straight! It is so hard to tell for sure, I'm thinking there is some leeway there, I hope. I quit after the inserts were installed for two reasons. I didn't know if that stuff on the threads needed to dry and set up or not. Also, the wind was blowing 30-40 mph and I didn't want to take the rags out and expose everything to dust. In AZ there is a lot of dust. I'm hoping I'll be running the bubbles out tomorrow!!

Thanks Steve, I'll be fine IF the bolts go in straight. Holding the angle drill straight up & down and side to side in that small area is tough to do just eye balling it!
Mike, is that good or not? LOL I wouldn't mine a F350 dually but then I would have to start all over again.
You must be a trust baby Travis, don't have to work!!

Huh? I work night shifts for the city turning on peoples electricity. Just don't get motivated til I get off work. 
I wish I didn't have to work tho. More time for mods and beverage consumption.

Well, its a success!!!!! I'm extremely happy but I will not celebrate until I pull the 5er, which might be this weekend. If it can handle that then I'll be convinced that the job was a success. I had some oil running down the back of the motor even after I cleaned it up but I think and hoping its just left over oil from the BIG leak I had. I drove it maybe twenty miles so far, not near enough to burp my baby, LOL. If anybody reading this has problems, all I can say is that the angle drill and tapping in such close quarters is the hardest part. Also not knowing if it was straight bothered me alot. Another thing is stress that if you screw it up you have to pull the motor to replace the front cover. I don't have the equipment here to do that. I'm sure my nephew would have helped me, he buys these pickup and alot of other trucks and cars form auctions that are totaled out. He knows his stuff. The pump bolts didn't feel that they went in real easy but not hard either. I did not horse on them, just snugged them up good.
I was just seeing if you had a sense of humor Travis, didn't mean anything by my comment! LOL Working for a living is a B, especially if you hate your job, like I did!
