He wants you to do his work “at work” so he can play with his mushroom button thingy at home. He doesn’t want any help installing the engine. I fear there will be some tears when the final bolt is turned. He will want to take it out and do it again.

Nah, probably not, he will want get in it and start jamming gears and yanking on his mushroom button.

...Those are fun to just click up and down as you're tooling along....

Now thats funny!

No degree, but I think I can figure it out. Can you wait until July?

Yes!!!

You can start on the 1rst, then we’ll be able to wrap this tread up on the 2nd, after you get done installing the pile of parts!

You and your gay connotations...

Cummins QSL (off-road) fuel filter config adapted onto ISL. This makes all filters self contained on the engine. Fuel lines directly to tank now. First spin on filter has water drain and water sensir, trips dash ligh if water present. I’ll remove my large frame mounted water seperator/filter.

Who wants some of this engine/exhaust brake switch?



That's what I thought. NAPA still stocks the old 2 speed rear axle switches and harness. 3 wire, so can config either way (up on or up off, etc...). I clicked it all the way home, not even connected to anything. BD Diesel makes a nice aluminum bracket to secure it to the shift rod, but they won't sell it separately from the $70 switch (of which I paid $50 @ NAPA), so, I'll just clone it. Hose clamp just isn't go to do it for me. Everybody is going to ask what the switch does. I am going to tell them all it is the ejection seat.

Ill repeat it again.

I am gonna laugh when you have to pull half of that pretty crap off to put it in.

Has been planned the entire time to strip the peripherals prior to install. But it makes sense to sense it up and test run it prior to install. Really not that much, and not required to, but safer if done.

You’re just jealous you don’t have a mushroom button to click.

You can pick it up and put in place complete. Lift by the two furnished lifting eyes, one front exh side, the other rear pump side, and put another point on the flat pad on the pump side, front, top of the head and one of the threaded bosses on the back section of the exh manifold. Experiment with the chain lengths to get the right angle, or, use a come along on the front lift points and adjust as necessary. You gonna put the trans in with the engine?

 

[74M35A2]

I know. I don’t know why he is barking. It is a small engine into a big hole. Yes, plan to never take the trans off the engine again. Take shifter off, and away we go. I will take off the turbo, exhaust manifold, A/C compressor, alternator, starter, and all spin on filters, just in case it gets dropped, it will lessen the cost. That stuff goes back on quick, it is all clean and new.

Yaaaawwwwnn!!! ..... and when does all this happen? Do we have to reach 50 pages before it gets put in the truck?

If we are lucky. So, what’s the hold up this time???

50 hours a week at work, and 3 hours of algebra homework per evening 6 days a week with my daughter to keep her alive in the double-advanced program she is in where the teacher is on cruise control and not teaching. 9th grade math in 7th grade, earning high school credits already. ISL became priority 1-x after school started. Hope to swap engine out on Christmas break, as most automotive companies are off between Christmas and New Year.

It is still happening and going forward though, promise! Second test run, install clutch pedal, and we’re off to the races.

...where the teacher is on cruise control and not teaching...

Ghaaa.... I’m feeling your pain!

Per my kids, their math teacher socializes all period, then gives them youtube videos on their work to watch.
Then yesterday while my daughter was having a coughing fit, he announced to the class the class that they “need to keep their sicknesses at home”!

She has Cystic Fibrosis...

 

[CARMAN]

I feel your pain 74M. My 8th grader is in 9+ math. Teacher blew by the 9th grade already. No mercy. Tons of home work. Plus tonight I went to High School to start looking at IB vs. Cambridge options. That was a 1.5 hour ride in rush hour. Fun Fun. But all for our/their future!

 

[74M35A2]

Don't mind helping, but if I am doing all the teaching, then WTF is happening in class? I want her pay and benefits, or her replaced. Could be my daughter also, if she is screwing around, not paying attention, can't see the board but is not saying anything. We'll see, digging into it now, but life for me as a kid was guilty until I proved my own innocence, and even then waves of aftermath regardless.

Next post will be ISL second test run on 24v with mated trans on pallet, promise.....

We will have to start an education thread. We had the same teaching issue as they would hand out the weeks work on a Thursday forcing the parent to do the teaching over the weekend. I went to school on that one and they actually changed their procedures. Yes the question is the same. Is it the student or teacher. Of course both usually. I would make my son use a work caddie to document throughout the day what was assigned on the board as take home. We then had the teacher and parent sign off every day. Sucks but felt certain teachers needed the enforcement. I want my moneys worth! Heck..just got home and son still sitting at the island working on algebra, Spanish and science.

 

[Jbulach]

I just want to get this thread up to 500 post to see if Buffalobwanas head explodes...

 

[Jbulach]

Vrooom... Vrooom...

 

[CARMAN]

Save #500 for the test drive!

 

[74M35A2]

Posts? Whimps. I'm going for 500 pages on this 400hp gear scratcher!
