Solar almost done. Then dog bone links, both rear axles are held in place with ratchet straps right now. Probably not very conducive to receiving 400hp. Then engine swap. Hold tight.

Nah, just jealous of his engine swap, solar project and pic of the tasty Hawaiian beverage.
I have a truck with a trashed motor, around 10,000 sq ft or roof I’d love to load up with panels and hopefully make it to Hawaii in a few years to do some sampling, but wont be getting paid to do it.

Don’t lighten up, the weak are killed and eaten. Don’t be jealous of 3 broken torque link rod ends, you’ll have them also.

I suspect it’s just recon. Further plans to be made after morning debrief.

Solar done. Torque link ends drilled and tapped. Once installed, then motor swap.

The relationship of the speed of motor swaps compared to the condition roofs in the background photos seems to be directly unproportional in some way. (Simp vs 74’) ownership of said roofs not withstanding.
Coincidence? I think not.
Thats all all I got this morning. Carry on gentlemen.

Ha! I was going to say the siding on that shed could use some attention, but was afraid it might throw a wrench in the progress on the truck.

Solar done. Torque rod link ends next, then motor. Ever seen an electric meter run backwards?

I have seen an ENGINE run backwards. When was the last time you saw your engine run, forward, backward, at all?? 
Just poking you with a stick!!

Will beat me to the joke. I would have phrased it different, but the effect was identical.
Props.

It’s a good thing they don’t put the shiny little wheel that spins on the meters any more, he’d never get anything else done...

So, ummmm, let’s see how many people I can make mad. I just had a Cummins ISX 15L engine land in my lap. Anybody have an M939a1 or first gen front engine mount frame cross-member, rear mounts, and doghouse (both for NHC-250)?
I’ll probably still go ahead with the ISL-400/13 speed since it is already done, together, and converted to 24v. I don’t think the Eaton/Fuller RTO-12513 trans would be up to 2,200ft-lb of torque, it is rated at half of that. But if I kept the truck unloaded and was nice to it.... I’d have to drive it to the GA ralley just to give everybody the business...

Sweeeet! Motor for your trailer??? All you need is a hefty auto, an on off switch for a throttle...
