Well it's mounted back onto the engine. I was about to really lose my cool over the transmission filter lines. They had funny bend in them and took forever to hook up. I am still hoping to have it completed by Friday but depends how much it wants to fight me.

Not really, There are 3 more steel lines that are a real pain in the butt. Once I get past those I hope I can fly thru the rest of the 20 or so hydraulic lines and at least get the cab set back on by the end of the day.

Those are all the transmission, steering, brake and hydraulic system lines. The big silver one is cooling line from the engine to the radiator. I have to fill the transmission and cooling system then I will be ready to start it up.

as big as that truck is and putting everthing in there like that, the engineer should be made to work on it.

I agree!!
The suction lines to the pumps from the hydraulic tanks hook up to the bottom of the pumps, a super pain to get lined up and the fittings tight.
