It was 7:30 before that happened tonight Troy.

Good evening. A bit of rain and some pretty loud thunder earlier today.

I started the morning by pulling the turbo, fan, stator and other crap off the new motor.

I sure am glad that I have a 6 liter fan clutch tool. What a pain in the *** if you don't have one of those. The vans must have been hell to work on. Ish.

Good morning Chris!

I don't have a fan clutch tool. I do have a air hammer. Couple raps with the chisel on the edge of the nut and they come right loose and same for tightening.

The van is extra tight on getting access to the nut because of the stator. I've used the air hammer as well and that works pretty good.

Good evening guys. Went and did a little more cleaning at mom's. Should be ready to hit the market. Then we stopped at Guadalajara restaurant in Rogers for a drink and dinner on the patio. Home relaxing now.

Sounds like a good evening Jay. I had to mow lawn last night since my normal mower person aka my son is gone to gma/gpa's this week.

Is that place any good? I've driven by it enough times but I've never stopped.

The Legion in Zimmerman sure was packed on the patio when I drove by this week. LOL

Yeah the stator is a pain in the *** for sure. Which reminds me I should get the one on my 6.4 taken out.

Good evening guys. Went to Menards tonight to get landscape ledgers to match what we already have snd also dark brown mulch along with a few other minor things. They had neither ledgers or mulch. Not a single one of either.
