Bjorn, it is a pain to work so far from home. I could use your fitting supply for sure! John has a decent amount of fittings if there is an emergency or the hardware is closed.

Scott, I hope you can get the 108 relocated too. Those are cool trucks.

Joe, thanks. I hope you get to start on your project again soon.

Here are the pics as promised. They're not bad for Blackberry pics. The first one shows the new lift pump, the solenoid bracket, the new solenoid, the IP, and the injector lines. The return line can be seen coming from the front of the pump. I am going to substitute a section of clear tubing in the meantime so I can check for air etc... I'll just run it into a fuel can until the hard line goes back on.

The second pic is the front of the engine. The shiny gear is for the injection pump. I also got the radiator support bracket mounted on the lower right engine mount. They share bolts with the engine mount so when it was robbed the engine dropped down a bit. I had to apply a bottle jack to the oil pan to get things lined up again. Once I can prove the engine is a runner, I will put the timing cover back on along with a new crank seal, crank balancer, and fan clutch.

The third pic shows the alternator in place. It also shows the badly mangled PS ram stone shield/tranny cooler bracket. I have a good used one to go in its place along with a good, used ram and some flex lines.

The last pic is a front view. It will look a lot better once the smashed bumper is gone, the new winch is mounted, and the hood goes back on. The hood will have to wait until the radiator goes back in. It will be a lot easier to maneuver the rad with the hood off.

That's all for now!!
