Was a good weekend and got to spend some time working on the truck. Replaced the oil lines for the injection pump. Worked out really well, given the tight space and big hands. Took about an hour which was primarily because of the tight space. Big thanks to Gimpyrobb for the oil line set. They...

Never thought of that but I bet it would work!!

Nope. Since you have to drill the holes I was able to position it so it cleared the shaft. The only thing I had to do was install a spacer to move the shelf out from the fender about 3/4".

That is how we roll here. I like to try and keep things clean...actually it may be a little ocd but it works for me. The next thing is to replace the oil lines on injection pump and remove compressor and compressor mount because the mount gasket is seeping pretty good.

Finally got my heater box hooked up to my cooling system so now atleast the cooling system work is done. Still need to finish hooking up the heater kit in the cab, diverter box, defroster ducts, etc. Made up some simple brackets and used rubber lined straps to secure the heater hoses in place...

Thanks, I'm happy with how mine came out. To me it gives plenty of clearance for most maintenance if need be, I can remove it in about 10 minutes. I thought about mounting it in the cab as some have done. There are others that mounted theirs directly to the firewall. If you search a thread...

It was dead on 180 before hand. I know it isn't off by much but just wanted to see what other's thought.

Hey everyone, quick question. When I drained my coolant system down I put in a new temp sensor since I had it. Got the truck all refilled and running. Was out driving today and noticed that the temp reads a little higher than usual. It was almost to the 190 mark, maybe just shy, like 188 range...

It always looked kind of banged up in the area but then I noticed what appears to be edges starting to separate from the trans housing. Sorry the pictures aren't the best, I'll try to get better ones. If you look just below the drain plug, both to the left and right, especially in the 3rd...

Thank you, has been a lot of work but well worth it. A huge learning curve as well. I too, am trying to dry up certain leaks. Sometimes it feels as you get one done...I either find another...or something else that should be repaired. My next one is on the injection pump. There is a small line...

did some looking around and no one seems to have a consensus of the difference. Most have said they no difference when swapping one to the other in their trucks. It is the same case but not sure what makes a 3053 different from a 3053a or 3053b.

Good question...I'll have to do some research on it

I guess a block heater it isn't. That is the cable for the plug heater. It is a small one, which I haven't necessarily had any need for, but I had it on hand and installed it anyway. Figured I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

Yes Sir!! NOS fresh out of the crate. Crate fell apart though so I just strapped it to the moving dolly for ease of moving. My extra parts are stored indoors in an extra room at my office so moisture exposure isn't an issue.

Finally got the time to drain my cooling system and install the valves for my cab heater and coolant filter as well as install a Kats block heater and new temp sensor that I had on hand. Installation went well, the only plug that gave me trouble was the one on the water pump housing. Soaked it...

Met fellow SS member ZiggyO on Tuesday. Great guy with a lot of knowledge. Bought a new trans from him that he had on hand. Wanted to rebuild mine but mine appears to have a case repair that is seeping. Going to swap mine out this summer and do some maintenance and updating in those areas as...

I ended up putting a shut off valve on my remote reservoir hose and added a T-fitting to the master cylinder cap with a removable plug. Allows me to shut off my reservoir, attach my bleeder, bleed brakes and put everything back with minimal hassle.

I've picked up there before. Was easy to deal with and they loaded everything up quick and got me on my way.

I have the license plate mount and lights from Those Military Guys, easy to mount and works great
