im trying...i fell asleep on the couch last night so i did not get out to the shop...haha...but there is space..and a cummins/allison leaving tonight!

 

Well fellas...im either a liar or stupid...
i got the fuel filter assy out(among other things) and
what i prevoiusly thought to be a fuel leak...turned out to be an oil leak...i cant believe i screwd that up...so,long story short.icp connector has oil in connector.turbo discharge oringi shot.high pressure plug is leaking.i am going to replace high pressure pump gasket and resivour gasket as well as check that upper check valve.and the drivers valve cover connectors are starting to get oil in the connectors so i guess i will throw one on for good measure.
also i looked better at the front leaf bushings that i already planned on replacing.the fronts are so shot.the bolt is 2/3 the way to the bottom.
this thing will be a new truck when it gets all this done.
also swapping trans cooler and upgrading ps cooler with a flush...sheesh,im tard just thinking about it.

 

I have faith in you, you can rebuild that motor with one hand and fix the other truck with the other. Also take little naps inbetween! LoL

 

It's easy to mistake fuel for oil, you're not the first one for sure. Don't forget to replace the shackle in the front. I don't think you can just buy the bushing, have to buy the shackle. I could be wrong, but I think that is the case.

You got quite a list, but nothing real major. You'll get it, just keep plugging away!

 

Thanks.i actually have the rsk kit im installing.i was going to get it up and the wheels off but forgot all my jack stands are under my two other cars.i am going to bring a couple home from work today.

 

You know some folks would never have said one thing about that. Then we have members like you that value integrity and post it.

Thanks for that!!!


and rep were sent

 

I am humbled by the gesture.Honestly,i work on cars all day and then come home and work on my own junk...i make mistakes,i try my best not to but it happens..most times i am probably more tired than i will admit to and prob should go in and not work.but i want to get my gal going again.

Front end is torn down.all the leaf and shackle bushings were absolutely wiped out.pics to come.oil system parts will be ordered just as soon as i am done here...
also,one rotor is cracked all the way through in two spots...so i have brake work,and i am going to replace all the front wheel bearings i think also.sheesh this snow ball is picking up some speed...

 

Totally agree with that.
X2 Rep sent. I also tried to rep DRRXR but no dice

 

Gotcha

 

I haven't been able to rep anyone in months

 

I have the front axle out and springs off.putting new poly bushings.front bumper off and rsk crossmember is on.the 8... 1/2" holes to drill are killing my cordless drill haha
Once i get the front end back together,brakes,rotors,calipers,hosed installed then the parts from riffraff hopefully be here and i can continue on the hpop seals,fuel bown seals,fuel pump.i shall win this battle for a dry v in my engine! Hahahaha i WILL
Get some pics of my progress

 

Sounds like you're making good progress! What spring bushings did you go with?

 

You are making good progress. You'll be lucky if that cordless drill makes it through 8 1/2" holes into the frame without burning it up or trashing a battery anyway.

 

Energy susp. Have always had good luck with them.build countless mustangs,camaros,others of these trucks.im just glad these engines are so loud...no noise heard even if they squeak hahahahahaha
yea,the ol porter cable hates me.im trying to be easy on the ol gal even...hard with 1/2"holes holes...

 

now them some shot bushings!



crossmember in,just have to torture that drill some more





I really should be out there working....but i am just tired and going to go to bed!
