Thank you Rebel.

Holy crap on a cracker. You said it was broke but I really didn't think it was that broke. Hey! It ran when parked.

Oh crap, talk about a Freudian slip............now that's funny. I'm not even going to go back and edit it. ;-)

I doubt very much that it was any fuel in my truck. It came from GL and went to the previous owner and then to me. It had diesel in it when I got it and that's all I ever put in it except for cans of NEW motor oil or 1 gallon jugs of it. You can ask my wife Gimpy, even with a broken crank it...

Nice

Yeah, I believe it weighs 425lbs by itself. If may go and see it since he is only a few miles from where I live and on my way to work. I never ran anything except clean ULSD and additives for lube in her. I blame the previous owner. I think when anything happens anywhere I blame the previous...

Rebel said it was broke at the number 4 piston. Hence the cracked block. He took pics and said he would post them up later.

I just sold the old engine for Rebelcummins to use for parts and fab work. He just called to tell me the crank broke in two. I wondered why it vibrated a little.

You're right. If I close my eyes I can hear him now.

Who's the guy in the pic?

He wants to sell it......

So I'm not so bad after all.

Finally, after the cold broke for a few days I got new bolts for the transmission to SAE adapter and got them in this week after Gimpy and I got the tranny up in there last Sunday. Still fabbing a copper line for the air compressor but it looks like it is ready as well, I just have to put the...

It's all fun and games until someone gets a knot on their head. :-)

Well I got a little done on the truck today. Bumper on with new grade 8 bolts. Exhaust and air filter done. Cleaned transmission per Gimpy's orders. Torqued the adapter plate to specs and put the clutch and the pressure plate on partially. Went looking for another bolt and hit my head on...

You mean you had an engine we could have put in the Deuce and didn't say anything?

I don't even think the crack in the block had anything to do with the knock. Gimpy could not see anything hitting the block on the inside and I couldn't either. The crack may have been there for a while.

Big thanks to Gimpy and JW4x4 for this weekend on the truck. It lives and yes the 2x6 is on the fender for obvious reasons and yes we found out all the exhaust has a tendency to go through the doghouse into the cab when you put the pipes on. :-) http://youtu.be/XwVey8cMDyI

Yeah, but did it run?

See Ron!! I had a helmet on.
