So here I am waiting for the final piece of the puzzle, a flex section that I ordered like monday. So I am checking the mail every day now in anticipation of the last 6.0 part. After it didn't show up today I figured oh well it should be here for sure tomorrow at least. Then I am sitting here and checking my emails, I get one that says my flex section was shipped today...
Guess it will give me some time to build the front seal tool.

Yeah I saw that, exhaust is kind of my specialty for work so these flex sections are just another day at work for me.

Thats not to far. If we aren't camping during the meet I will try to get the family together for the trip. Heck, maybe I'll come alone for some me time.

Again, nice work on the tool. They do sell them so you are saving some $$ by making them yourself.

I have the stuff laying around and a few extra hours now and then. Some stuff is worth making other stuff not so much. lol
Front seal tool is done and front seal installed. I also brushed off the truck and pulled it out of the snowbank. I figure I can put the motor in and start work on it and still easily access the back of the motor to install the up pipes when the flex section finally shows up.
Sorry, yes I installed the seal and wear ring before taking any pics.
Looking again after cleaning up the power steering pump it seems this connection is leaking not the shaft of the pump like I thought earlier. Is there a oring fix for this or is it a whole line deal?
Ready to roll into the shop. The snow in the box is up to the top of the sides and there are parts back there.

I replaced the water pump, AC compressor (it was bad anyway) and the PSP just because I knew it would go bad a week after I got this damn thing running again. Oh, and all the pulley bearings too.
