it looks like someone threw a ball peen hammer at it! or a really hard popsicle lol

i think it will buff out

 

nick are you going to fix that too lol

 

That sucks Zach about the dents!

 

So will the motor be running when you pick it up this go around, or you at that stage.....

 

Got it Friday. yeah I would much rather have a newer truck. but my price range for "new" trucks only included the 6.0, I didnt wanna **** with that **** so I went down a notch for a little more stability. I would have your 6.4 truck in a heart beat. love the body style and the motor..when you have good luck with it heh

 

when he picks it up, it should be ready to wheel

 

 

thats what we have all been waiting for!

 

id love to drive over. Oh well. Darn you work.

 

yeah i love driving Josh's truck but it is loud and he has issues with it starting in the winter as well as other little things that he cant seem to get worked out. plus its pretty loud. haha

 

Well I'm back home, and like nick said it will be close to ready to wheel when i get back down there. But I dont plan to wheel it until may? I might go for a test when i get it home. but no dates for that and i dont have much vacation until March.

 

Hell yeah!!

 

glad you made it home safe! now you get to play the waiting game

 

That's what I like about 7.3s. The reliability is right up there with Cummins diesels. Can't beat um.

Yeah, 10+ year old motors tend to be, but so are Rangers so it kinda works out. But diesels in general don't make very good DDs honestly. You said it yourself before in the SD's build thread, gasers are a better choice unless you are hauling all the time. I have to say though your body style is my favorite SD style yet. The new ones look like Tundras lol.

HAHAHAHAHA Since you have the truck now are you gonna keep the build thread updated with the work?

 

Woohoo! Finally, Thanks Nick for working with him on this thing! its amazing how long this particular stage in the build has taken.. lets just hope its all dependable and doesnt give you too many problems :-p

 

I am sure Nick will keep the thread updated. Or he will send the pictures to me and I will. Its not a simple fire it over and debug, still a decent amount of work yet.

 

Turning it over is one thing - getting it purring is quite another

 

are you getting anxious yet zach? seems like its getting close now!!!

 

haha nah im over that. i will probably be once i hear it has started and idled for 15 minutes with no issues. then i will want to be there asap.

there are just so many variables of what could go wrong. its unreal. almost mind boggling.

 

seeing as to how i am perfect and i dont make mistakes, the only problems will be with what you worked on.

 

hahaha

 

lol, brutal...

 

You just jinxed yerself

 

ur just jealous

 

How could I be jealous of that little thing
