There was so much that just wasn't mentioned in the thread, all the little issues that cropped up and the solutions that were found. Some of those are as follows, some are just too numerous to remember. Looking back over this thread, I never mentioned that the oil pan was pulled from another 6...

That's why I'll be putting in a Red Dot A/C system for the camper. I'll have solar panels on the roof and in the years I've been looking, more wind systems have come on the market.

That's always been the plan. I also plan on having A/C in the camper though that will run off a 14,400 watt, 24v battery. Seems like anywhere outside of the Pacific NW, now, is hell on earth.

So...mostly done. Had some setbacks, because my swap included some other work and the mechanic has some health problems we just weren't moving fast enough for the shop owner who, decided to kick us out. Unfortunately, we really couldn't move the truck until the radiator was hooked up and my...

Fenders are back on. Dry fitting the radiator, intercooler, & condenser. Moved the dipstick a little further forward. What seemed like a lot of extra room with this engine is quickly filling up and getting a little difficult to work with. The fan is a little low, moves plenty of air, gonna...

Moving along, slowly. Some parts take a while to find when you don't have the part #... In one of the pics, you'll see someone ground off one of the part numbers, I have no idea why. This gear needed replacing because the teeth were chipped in the back - the mechanic surmised it may have been...

At least it's a proper colour now!

Started paint.

Engine was cleaned today (oven cleaner), also placed the engine back into the truck. I've been told it won't come out again. Still a lot of work to do before stuff comes back together though. Found some damage from a (probably) KDP incident and need to replace a gear. Some of the pics are of...

There's an a/c compressor mounted on the driver's side of the engine. It's looking like we'll get both alternators hooked back up. At least that's the impression I've gotten. I keep trying to get over there when they're working on it, but my stupid day job keeps getting in the way. :mad: I've...

Kinda feels like I've crossed the Rubicon now that the engine's been pulled.

So, my truck went into the shop a few weeks ago, then my mechanic had 7 gallstones and had surgery (what a pussy 😭). In my day they did the surgery up hill, both ways. Anyways, work has restarted, but at a pretty slow pace. Meh, driving in the winter sucks around here anyways. Using...

I've crossed mountain ranges 4 times with this truck, I know what it's like to hug the right lane, uphill in 3rd gear. And truth be told, I don't mind. You don't buy a Deuce expecting it to be something it's not. I really like the adaptation of the multifuel. No longer will I be able to...

Looks like I'll be doing an engine swap in the next few months. I'd toyed with it, but figured, realistically, it was at least 2-3 years in the future if ever. However a friend ran into a guy looking for a LDT-465 engine (I have 2) who happens to own three 6 BT's and he's got a full shop. So...
