Probably best, St Louis is not a good city.

Oh I'm talking Okie-ville, Kansas, and Missouri. Oh boy is it bad...

You obviously haven't spent much time.in the Midwest... That's nothing.

Gorgeous truck!!!! Don't worry about the tip! Suck it back up in there and it'll look fine! I have 2 will be 3 trucks with 10in tips. Here's a good pic of my head in one of them

I need to know how you did this!

They're that way in Norway as well?! My rear end likes to party as well, but instead of lights, the axle doesn't stay put and likes to bounce around a lot (bad axle wrap). Traction Bars made out of tractor third links loading....

Welcome to the 2G world!

$17k CAD is roughly $15k USD and your truck is incredibly nice and very low miles so no, not bad at all! Especially since the front end is taken care of now!

Gotta admit, I did that the first time on my oil pan and it even leaks, so that's getting fixed at some point. Like I said, you live and learn!

Here in Kansas $17k will get you a clapped to hell 2nd Gen and maybe a compound set that's incredibly sluggish cause everyone is a certified YouTube mechanic and, "knows what they got."

Both the motors I built I haven't used anything with the plenum gasket and the intake/grid heater gaskets and they seem to be doing fine? My gaskets have held up to 29psi so hey I'm doing something right. My tappet leaks a smidge too but once I get money I'll probably get a Keeting Machining Tappet

Haven't done one before but if it's a paper gasket I'll try that Permatex spray stuff, seems to work extremely well from my oil pan experience

I feel like that's the case of not knowing to drag your finger along it after dispensing it and removing excess to get that thin layer you're talking about.

I've never used any RTV on my tappet nor intake gaskets. I've seen threads of people saying to use it on the tappet on other forums, but to me that sounds like a bad idea. Only places ice ever used it, has been rear main (I've switched to the spray), oil pan on my 01 (spray now on 99 motor), and of course front case cover.

I only used RTV where the front and rear cases meet the block and used that tacky spray for the rest. Trying to stay away from RTV as in the past it's a hit or miss with working for me...

Well I found out oriellys warranties gaskets so I ripped it up and got another for free

Thank you sir!

Can someone link the instructions to make this? I may or may not need to make 3 of these....

It's stuck pretty good cause of that spray but idk if I I have a small putty knife but I can try a bigger screw driver or something. My plan yesterday was to just drop the rear of the pan and fix it but it wasn't cooperating.

I'm wondering the same thing.... And also why Cummins is making electric trucks now Who knows why they do most of the weird things they do

So to save some time I did install the rear main first ***the first time*** but due to some dunce from Oklahoma, the rear main housing had a hole that was stripped, so obviously I had to replace it. At this point I had already installed the oil pan so I tried to reinstall another rear main housing without messing up the oil pan and what do you know, the gasket slipped inside of the pan and now the pan won't come off. Instead of using RTV on the pan I used this Permatex spray gasket and it seals pretty well apparently! Any tips on how to remove it without damaging the gasket or anything? I'll leave some pics of what the oil pan gasket looks like under the rear main. If I can just forget it since it's sealed up so nice apparently that'd be cool, or just throw some RTV in there . Anything helps! Thanks!

I'd take it that this is stepped so no worries on my part!

Good information! Like I said I couldn't pull it out with a good strength magnet so I think I'll be fine.

Ok cool. Thank you very much guys!

I'll definitely try it, can't hurt anything.
