Dan's ratty truck

[Dantheman1540]

Raunchy Rado revival has begun! Well it did yesterday sort of.

Pulled her in the shop and got busy taking crap apart. Still don't see anything wrong except I find it weird there's a little oil around the intake port. Blower looks good as do injectors and intake valves. Even the couple cam lobes I can see look good. Don't really want to tear it apart more until it's out.

Man! Looks clean.

Man! Looks clean.

What looks clean? This things filthy and a mess and a POS .

Actually all the AN lines I've run make it a breeze to pull apart. I had it to this point in about an hour in 100* heat.

I appreciate it! They have less than 1,000 miles I was hoping to not have to see them until they were filthy but that didn't happen Haha.

It's kinda funny I know everything on this truck so well it's easy and relaxing to work on. Until I have to lay on the ground of course.

Yeah, I hate that too. Especially on hot black top.

I'm blessed to have my little tin can shop with smooth concrete floor but somedays I'd consider doing some unthinkable things for a lift .

Mostly because this transmission is a monster. But this time the tranny shouldn't have to move much.

Yeah I’ve swapped my trans 3 times in my driveway. NOT fun.

I haven't met a tranny I liked rolling around under a vehicle with yet.
