Yes, it never ends, but it pays back when driving down the road 

On more than one occasion I thought of getting something else myself but for whatever reason I'm still. 

 

V2 is not bad once you figure it out, time consuming for sure to tune just right. But you can get it pretty close to start with. Then it's fine tuning from there. 

 

Good looking truck and this place is great, makes some bad days much better just bsing here. Welcome to the club. 

 

Edit 

Nice house too, but what's funny is you'll get more compliments on your old truck then on the new house, from a real man at least ha ha. 

 

The house is hers...the truck is mine! Haha I was pretty proud of that park job going sideways across all three bays of my garage! Left me room to use my engine hoist to lift the head. My wife...not so impressed! She lost her spot for a month or so. So for that month only the important things were in the garage...my motorcycle and my truck!

Beautiful job...  I have respect for people who care about attention to detail like I do.  Nice...

 

But question, Is that a spacer for the ECM on that gorgeous manifold?  And is that a catch bottle and vent?  If so, where did you mount it?

That manifold is the tappet cover. The ECM mount looks a little different because the foam/plastic "noise Panel" is gone.

 

Nice truck too!

Thanks! As far as the tappet cover I used the Allen bolts Keating sent with the cover and then used the stock spacer bolts to remount the ECM in the original location. I did have to use a washer between the ECM and the bottom mounting point for the ECM to make up the difference in thickness of the billet tappet cover vs. stock cover. And I had some HP sticky shield from Heatshield Products so I stuck that to the back of the ECM to keep some radiant heat away from it. The catch bottle or vent as you referred to it I call it a catch can/breather. With the stock vent and the one on the Keating tappet cover I’m hoping to be able to allow the crankcase to breath and also catch the oil residue in that breather bottle. We will see how well it works. I wrapped the stock breather hose around the timing cover and kept a slight slope to the breather to allow oil to move without hindering air movement. And did the same with the tappet vent. Both feed into the breather. It’s mounted inside of the drivers side frame rail right next too the front drive shaft. I will try to snap some pictures to give you a better idea! Time will tell how well it will work!

I still love the stock wheels. Wish mine had not all cracked. See them for sale quite a bit but worried they will do the same thing.

Nice to see these trucks in thier natural environment 

[dripley]

Who said natural had to be in the back woods? 23k gross down the highway can be just as impressive.

Finally got it back road Worthy again, ready for spring again.  Thanks to this forum for the help

Lol yes. The clips that hold it on are broken. I was trying to make it look uniform and I was out of duct tape.

No that's literally it.... No blow-by, 55 block, one ton rear end, only thing wrong like I said is it only goes backwards which is probably just some clutches.

 

I heard he smoked the tranny on the Tuesday, went and looked at it Wednesday, told him I'd give him $2k on Thursday, picked it up Friday. 

 

The kid I bought it from literally knows nothing about diesels or mechanical anything, his exact words to me were, "I just wanna roll coal"

Nothing to feel proud of.

Hopefully it isn't that bad of a fix, been told that's just some clutches.

How?? It's a completely redone truck with aftermarket parts totalling well over $2k?

You missed the point.

 

Men don't bend men over, and then brag about taking advantage of a fellow enthusiast.

[rotohead]

I'm not a big fan of 'enthusiasts' that just want to roll coal. I think that is stupid behavior and give us diesel lovers a bad image. If he got bent over I could care less.
