Sorry to hear about the knee and hand. I'm sure there is a story you are not allowed to tell behind the injurys.
That truck will keep you distracted, though.
Loving it. Still working out some bugs. The thing is exactly what I wanted. I don't need to get off the line fast, although it gets off fast enough, and it has massive torque. With all my gears I'm getting great diesel mileage. It doesn't run very hot and I'm having trouble getting it to heat...
No, not for a while. I'm going to get the bugs worked out before that. The next video will be after I put the exhaust insert in to show some guys how well it works. That should be this weekend.
Ask you mechanic if he wrote down the center to center measurements for all the engine mount holes...
Looks good the whole way around. I like how he bent the steel to make the mounts. It looks like the engine is sitting level and will have plenty of clearance with the hood. It also looks a little off center toward the drivers side, which is good to get a littel more clearance with your third...

All joking aside, stay...
I was going to use them, but I had to have the engine in and the truck rollable that first weekend so I had a time crunch and didn't take the time to cut my mounts off my frame and refabricate for those isolators. I may go back and do it one of these weekends after I crank it and see what the...
I love the Cummins Red too, but I'm with you Phoenician, I worried that it was to much red for the truck.
I'm still seeing blue. I'll need a couple of better pictures to make an informed decision. So far, I like it though.
In the end, as reason creeps in and I get farther into the project, I...
