Doctor's report: Pterygium removal on the right eye Wed morn with a couple week heal-up before lifting anything over 15 lbs. Then, in mid-April I'll have the cataract removed from the left eye and then a couple weeks later the right eye.
Jim - The machine shop has an AFR recording setup, so the WOT pulls are covered. However, Stanley said I could put my Edelbrock meter on if I wanted and we could tune the cruise AFR. But then we talked about it and decided that it would be easy enough to tune cruise on the truck so will pass.
Also, not sure what was meant when I said "I have a gearbox, not a transmission". Anyway, I do agree that the CR will provide good engine braking. I know that diesel in the GLK backs off quickly.
Bruno - Are you saying I'll need a monster clutch?

Will your lifting limit affect your build progress, or will the parts come in after your limitations end?

This is the only one Summit offers and I cant find it on Amazon.
I am sure LUK or Hayes offers something. The one in the link above is a dual friction set up like the sled pullers use. However, it was the only one that came up when I plugged in street/strip.
Gary you may want to call Southbend and see what they offer for your truck. They are the clutch Guru's.

I believe that was a reference to the ZF being manual. Literally a box with gears inside, as opposed to a fully automatic trans that transmits power without operator input (for the most part).

No, I can work around the lifting limit as the near-term need is to get things nailed down 100% with Tim as well as get a few parts powder coated for the body guy.

Gary, I am not saying you need a monster. I am saying you will need more than you have. However you can run the stocker until you glaze it or burn it completely up to get your money's worth out of it. Then again it's easier to do while the motor and tranny is out of the truck.

Brad - I do get to wear a patch. But I don't know how a pirate talks, although my grandson has a look we call his pirate look as it seems like he's saying Arrrgghh! So I'll ask him.
Bruno - Thanks for the link. I'll file it away as I'm not ready to think about a clutch yet since I'm still working on the engine. But, don't give up on Jegs or Summit just yet. I looked at costs from them as well as Amazon for the ARP fasteners. For the rod and main bolts they were pennies apart, but while both Jegs and Summit have them for $88.98, Amazon wants $112.35. However, Amazon doesn't have the oil pump drive. And all three had free shipping.
