I think it is too, there’s nothing else I’ve taken apart with one that size, I emailed the folks I got it from but haven’t heard back yet. I needed a new one anyway. I hope to finish getting it all back together in a day or so.

Yalls plenums have orings on them? Mine don't ☹️. Just a silicone boot over the inlet and a t clamp

Those bolts on the up pipe to turbo flange are dreadful.

All done, no more up pipe exhaust leaks and no more turbo pedestal oil leaks, it has a little more pep now too.

I have new Riffraff intake hoses, I just haven’t put on the new ones yet until I know I won’t have to pull that intake plenum off again for a while.

Another small bite, there’s always pine needles and leaves getting under the hood so, a new cowl to hood seal today along with a new oil cap because some varmint decided mine tasted good in the past.

Every time I fix something, I get to looking around and just find more that needs fixing. I just decided to do that this weekend because it wasn’t greasy. Lol
I’ve got a couple of more greasy jobs coming up though. I hope that maybe this year sometime I’ll have it to where I feel comfortable getting further than walking distance from the house with it.

Everywhere can be walking distance if you've got the right shoes 🤔

Thats how it goes with these old trucks. Its amazing what you learn to put up with, because just having it running is good enough sometimes.

It runs well enough however, there’s a lot that needs doing, some is present problems that need fixing now and some potential problems due to age.
