No kidding. Hahaha
Update 10/20/2020
everything is installed at this point. I had to order oil because apparently SAE 40 is hard to find. I’ll have it next Tuesday. I have the spare oil filter ready as well. Filled the radiator with 10 gallons plus 10 gallons of water. New batteries are next.

Jyd530, hang on to it. Mike has an LDT 465 1D salted away, he might like to have a spare 8V92TA.

Will, I'm certain that's on Mike's to do list. If all goes well with the engine run, there will be a BBQ at Mikes barn. Last time I was there he was hiding a Brisket in the Fridge!What, no new paint??!!

Smoke leaking from the tailpipe yet? My D-max project made .....well, no smoke, still runs the same. Me thinks a "tuner" that was on it issue or a $800 sensor.
Update 11/07/2020:
WE HAVE SMOKE!!!!
Yes folks, she fired up today...about time...
I built a device to pressurize the fuel system. I couldn’t believe how long it took to get fuel slowing. I used 10 PSI to get the fuel to flow thru the system. Good thing I did because I found 2 fuel lines loose. Here is my pressurizer rig. 10 PSI BTW.
