Cummins

I ended up finding some time last night and early this morning to get a little more work done.

I have continued to pull parts off the engine to paint. I am also replacing several seals as well. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago so I figure I might as well freshen it up a bit while I'm at it.

Lastly, I rebuilt my engine stand. It should be a lot stronger now. The weight of the Cummins put a hurtin on it the first go round. I cut up the blue truck stand that I am no longer needing and came up with this......

Rest in peace blue truck stand........rest in peace.

WOW, I have never seen anybody hang there injection pump, valve covers, and Marlboro bag on the same race before! Haha


Looks good.

I use my laundry room as a place to let my painted items dry. My wife loves it. Also my 49" inch Irocs are currently in our family room to make more room in the garage.

 

[Demon offroad]

Your wife is more understanding than mine. There is no way my wife would let me!

 

[gmentavlos]

At this point I think she just wants me to get the truck done so I can spend more time doing other things. This build is been going on for 3 years now ....

3.9 Cummins

Not gettin a lot done this week. I don't have any days off at work this week. I am gettin done as much as I can in the AM. I did clean up the engine, primed it, and painted it. Going to try to get a few more things done so I can start putting the motor back together soon.....

Motor

I also cut a corner off the oil pan to make room for my upper link bar....

Loosing momentum

I started picking up the pace a little bit. I almost have the engine put back together. Still waiting on a few parts from Cummins.

I also welded up the hole I cut on the driver side of the oil pan. I needed a little more clearence and this should do the trick.

Finally, I took apart my front Rockwell Axle and Painted it. Now I just need to put it back together and replace a few seals along the way....

Getting pretty close, hope to start the cage next week, really been a slack ass on updating and taking pictures. All these little things to sew it all up is taking longer than I thought.
