Ordered the heater core and it came in. Took photos of inlet and outlet and how I had it plumbed. Before it went to filter then Hester core to trap any junk from getting into the core. This caused restriction and not full flow going to the core. Now it's being replumbed so it will go to the...

Did more inspection on the injection pump and turns out the feed line that comes out of pump and goes to the front and rear head was leaking at the flared end. It was cracked. Replaced with a stronger line. Truck fires up and runs great. No more leaks. It was hard to tell after driving...

Yeah, I figure with having the pump rebuilt It should last me for the rest of my lifetime. Also, plan to add methanol Injection should help with some Temps on hills.

First trip went well. 150 miles and truck did great. I have a leaking gasket for the air dryer, need backup and bed lights installed, Methanol kit needed installing, painting frame, and coolant hose fix. My coolant hose adapter from 2.5" to 2" had some leaks with the alumium flange adapter so...

Brutus took his first trip today and did great. Still some remaining coolant coming out of the heater core but minimal at this point. Truck did great. New speedometer has over 100 miles on it and it's speed matches gps perfectly. Highly recommend anyone who needs a speedometer to upgrade...

I know what you mean. I think the part I remembered was once it gets up there you have to lower the chain hoist some so it isn't under tension, hopefully I won't need to deal with it in the future. I brought all the tools I need to do it should that happen.

Mounted the 16r20 spare behind cab. That was a chore. Got a 1 ton hoist from harbor freight and had some spacers to move the metal plates on the tire holder out to fit the larger tires. What I found was unless the tire was at a low tire pressure there's no way it would fit behind the cab...

Took truck on approx 25 to 30 miles round trip. Topped off fuel. The powersteering fluid heated up and came out breather a bit, but otherwise that was it from test drive. Got rims painted after drive. Wipers installed. GPS speedometer was dead on. Very pleased with results. After driving...

Yes same shade just yours is semi gloss. And yeah luckily I need about 25 gallons to top it off so not terrible. But bad enough

Today got the reflectors installed with new hardware. Mirrors installed, snorkel back on. I also bought 4 brand new napa group 31 batteries. 950 cca/piece. Hooked them up, boy the truck loves the double the amperage now. Plan is to install heat shield tomorrow and test drive and top off with...

I used lusterless marine corps forest green. Paint code (34052)

Thank you Mullaney! It's been a work in progress. Using bedliner and then rolling the paint with a roller definitely gave a real nice coating. I have enough I might do another coat. Not sure yet. The truck stays in the shop so it's protected but I like the idea of having extra coats in the...

Truck is now painted. 3 gallons of paint and a case of rattle cans. Going to reassemble tomorrow and should be ready for a test drive. So far happy with the results.

I decided to paint most of the truck with a roller. Now that the body has bedliner, I thought using s roller works. It won't show roller or brush marks and I can layer it more thick than using a paint gun. I also didn't lose any paint to aersolizing and having to thin the paint. I used 1...

Thanks ohsmily. It was a nightmare. I initially wanted to pull the pan, would have been less stressful but overall I learned alot. Sometimes we are put in stressful situations and it helps us grow. This was one of those times.

I bought a Fiberglass hardtop. I do not recommend it. I had one for my deuce that fit like a glove. This one fits horrid. Dad helped me grind down the inside to help fit better but still not perfect but working on it. Almost ready to drill holes for the back of the cab. I also used a high...

Finish passenger side door handle today and taped off the brand new mirrors and painted with rapco marine corps forest green. 34052. Tomorrow plan is to get hardtop mounted and get ready for body paint.

Didn't have alot of time tonight but got the locking door handle installed. Sgt Tibbs again inspecting to make sure it's done up to code. And then laughed about it.

Got the last 16r20 together on the hemtt wheel and holding air for the spare. I also got a Fiberglass hard top for the truck in. Got inside primed and painted. Outside is now primed with self etching primer. Sgt Tibbs was inspecting the bed and checking out the paint from Rapco. He gave it...
