Helping Waterloo out with an inframe ...

I've been playing catch-up for a week or so, and wondered what was taking so long, then realized you'd fallen into one of my favorite traps- the extra-extra-curricular working vacation! Having a main goal, but getting sidetracked by additional missions is when I have my most interesting adventures.

A huge "Thank You" to both Waterloo and Rawze for showing that this quite involved process can still be done, literally, in a driveway. The longer I own my truck, the more I try to do on my own, and this goes to show why that's not always a bad idea.

Enjoy your "New" truck Waterloo, I'm sure it's going to be a great adventure!

Yes, an incredible journey... The motor is running great, 700 miles and only used 1/4 of a tank of fuel, at least according to the fuel gauge. Normally I would be at 1/2 a tank at this point.

I took her down to the glass shop, had the new windshield installed. Then ran her over to the local TA and had them give me a DOT inspection. We found an air leak at the firewall, fixed that with a new brass compression fitting, replaced that plastic push crap thing. She passed with flying colors.

On the way to the glass shop, I dropped the injector cores off at the International dealer. The guys were cool, I told them the issues and they were just glad it is now running as it should have been when it left their shop twenty-five months ago. Everything is good there, the truck is running and I earned an expensive lesson. I've got a few little things to address and should be back to work in a few days.

Thank God the truck is running, purring like a kitten and when needed will bite like a BIG DOG!

I cannot get over how tight this motor is, and that turbo with Rawze's programming just kicks butt! Man, she is responsive, the entire motor is responsive, it just want to GO! Very happy.:big_smile2:
