1985 kenworth w900b project

I run midwest states. Montana, ND Sd Mn ne wi iowa. Ya i need to run them specially up by the canada border she gets to cold

 

Ill re route the coolant lines when I'm home next week. Keep them closer. I'm not getting rid of my tank heater. I need them. -40 degree temps without the windchill ain't any time to be messing round with gelling up diesel. I did run the ole girl for 2 years before she rejected a piston.

 

We got the air bags plumbed in all the way, all the bolts tighten on them, got the tranny filled up with fluid, got air lines situated on the governor, replace back 2 brake cans.

Gotta get new tranny shifting air lines, crap i bought before are metric, prob new alt pully the old one is a keyed pulley this is a friction fit, find V clamp for the blow by tube (dont wanna buy new one at kw told me its 60$), new ac o rings cuz lost my whole box of them which sucks, do some wiring for headlights. Replace the turn signals on the hood these have water in them. Replace 4 drives and 2 steers. And reconfigure the tranny and throttle linkaged then should be good.

Well balls to the wall now. Had a pretty bad failure of my 6nz i have in the pete so shes down without major work. Nut and bolt came loose in the head well worked away hit cam roller cause bunch of damage and hole in the head. (Just had overhead not to long ago and also shop said it was a a sensor that was causing it to run wierd... nope.)

Im off to the store for linkages for the throttle and clutch. Been a complete #### show of a week with truck going down using rental truck doing livestock loads on little sleep and drive truck home to have it go boom right when i go into the driveway.. friday was a stressful day Saturday and sunday work lmao more and more do i envy people with a actual shop to work in instead of crawling in mud and dealing with swarms of mosquitos

 

Is there any trick to installing shifter tower? I can not get the sh**t to line up at all no room underneath to see what I'm doing. Wife dropped detent spring in the tranny so I'm not having a good day.

 

Going to try tomorrow. Stress and lack of sleep didn't help the problem we both are rushing and well that's when mistakes happen. This is the same tranny and model had to order it. Having issues getting the shifter stick in the fork hole.... when is daylight going look and see what I'm doing. Gotta get tranny air lines and 4 drives and 2 steer tires tomorrow too
