    Well, it's ugly but I appreciate it. Maybe next spring during slack time we can start to doll her up a bit.

    Nothing like the sound of one firing up without any strange noises! I have rebuilt many and still loved it!

    It always makes me a little apprehensive hitting the key for the first time

    So, this was Thursday evening:

    See anything wrong with the progression here?

    All because the GD boss, who went overboard to make sure that everything inside the block was done to perfection, or at least no detail was skipped, decided that when it came time to put the rear seal in he didn't need to get the special tooling to install the seal. F'n ahole!

    Hey, we can now remove the cab, transmission, and retarder in 3.5 hours!

    I don't have a transmission jack, nor a concrete area big enough to use one, so we decided it would be faster for us, in our situation, just to pull the cab.

    What a f'n idiot I am, but we'll get it right. Ordered the dang tool Thursday night and have a new seal in hand.

    The truck ran great though, and everything worked except the water temp. Wiring is good so sender must be bad.

    After reading the fine print, the seal says install dry. Look a little closer and you'll see step two.
