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.

very little done this weekend. Still waiting on my oil delivery. I should receive it Tuesday 10/27/2020. I did install the oil filter and a new pair of batteries.

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!

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.

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.

Mike, a major achievement!!! Take a break and celebrate!!!

 

[bigmike]

Not figuring out how to post a video. any suggestions?

 

[bigmike]

I think I have it figured out.

 

[Ajax MD]

Yeah!!! I found the video on YouTube before I even came here. Amazing job, amazing perseverance!

 

[jnissen]

Wow what a rebuild! Great job.

Mike, when we talked last night, you mentioned the TM recommended breaking the truck in pulling a heavy load. Well, here's an idea!!

 

[WillWagner]

VERY cool mike! You should get out of the glass business and switch to being a mechanic! Climbing up and down on that kilt ya, huh? Congrats buddy!
