Soon as I get this done I might be building a 2wd regular cab short bed 5 speed psd next real excited think it'll be a cool project

Well I got it running again and mostly put together except the fact that I half to replace the front crank seal but runs good tranny does good just gotta finish it up and it's sold. Bought a regular cab this weekend for my brother it's wrecked though but we already have a rolling chassi for it just need a 5 speed tranny for it which were probably gonna put a big block 5 speed in it if we can find one as we like gearing in them but it's gonna be painted the same as the one I'm finishing up we will probably start a second build thread for it to

Well guys I'm completely stumped I got this truck running not to long ago and it was running great I mean great no smoke at all actually ran way better than my dd did before injectors but when I went to start it it took longer to start and its white smokes a little on startup I know that's common as my dd does it but it hesitates bad and smokes when revved but there's no blow by out of the oil cap whatsoever or out the cvc I took it out of the intake so it has my completely confused now

7.3 forever 07-08-2016 11:55 AM

Well I know it's been a while I've had a lot going on but I'm getting back to it now I'm about ready to install my last patch panel then there will be a lot of sanding we've decided to go with the new pearl white on the new platinums for its paint scheme gonna look good for sure I think last night we swapped out the vacuum pump as the original wasn't working now I half to get the oil leak fixed and get it finished up its actually pretty close honestly but there's still quite a bit of work to do on it will get more pics asap
