    From day it blew to the first actual drive its been 1645 days. Doesn't seem like it though.

    Jakes are working still can't get it to read temp sensors or mph. The gang plugs are tight and still full of electrical grease. Not sure what the issues is I have my shop I'm leased to looking at it. Drove 80 miles there Only issue is my shifter knob broke and was leaking air out bad enough it wouldn't shift back down to low gears. Not use to the tech so i killed it in a few turns since i didn't have low gears... oil pressure stayed 60-65 psi going down the road so I'm assuming it kept 180 temps.

    Im having them go through it because I'm prob going have to go to canada to haul pigs so I'm just hoping everything is good on it

    You're gonna have to call that Truck family tradition. It took the whole family to put that thing back together. Sure enjoyed all the pictures and comments. Hope you really enjoy it. Labor of love.

Its still not completely done i got some wiring gremlins to deal with and I'm not good at wiring so i gotta have help with that. I have sound dampening pads in the semi ready to put under the carpet to. But it was Williams idea and well i thought it was quite fitting

    Lmao. So we figured there is part of a syncro and multiple teeth in the bottom as well as multiple hunks of large gears in there. It's under a year old so warranty should cover it. It took the place 6 or 7 weeks to build one of them and well hopefully it's not that long again

    Sorry to see that. I have enjoyed watching you and your family go through that truck. Hopefully they repair it fast and permanently.
