Great to hear, glad for you, especially having the little one as you will enjoy the child even more than the truck!!! good luck to you and great to hear you moved out of town, you seemed more like a country guy to me!!!!

When you installed the engine, how did you know where to place the mounts? I was going to place the engine based on how it sat with regard to the cab. It looks as though you knew exactly where to install the engine mounts, then put the cab in place and...no clearance issues?
I hope that’s the case and you’re willing to share how you did that! If not, what problems did you run into?
