Thor - Back in the system
With how the wintertime is going for us up here. I pulled Thor back online to see if I can get more done. @Tweety Bird and I ran Thor to Lewiston, Idaho, for our shopping trip for chow and supplies. Thor is actually running quite well when fully warmed up. Even with a weak set of rings yet, Thor fires up every cold morning with white smoke and offbeat idle till those rings warm up some. Thor has been a comfortable truck to run, but there is add ons I'm looking at doing. First, I'm going to look into gauges, which will include rail pressure and lift pump pressure. I already have boost and pyrometer installed. I know there is no more power or tuner being added till I can get the engine rebuilt. I know the added power could break the rings, possibly. I'm going to look into replacing the driver's seat cushion and seat skin. Much as I'd love to just jump out and work on Thor, I'm held up for the weather, which is currently snowing here today. I've got no shop, so working in the snow is not happening. Another thing is the banner decal I have for the rear window too.
Without a doubt, Thor has the potential to be a great truck in time. Just between my cancer, body limitations, and the weather being my shop is gon, it's impossible right now to get very much done. I'm working on things on the server, little at a time, trying to add things and make pages load faster than ever, since I'm opting for breaking up the website into divisions, and now pages are not super long like before.
