Man am I tired. I've worked my butt off on the truck the last two days, getting things together on the truck. I finally got my steed speed manifold friday morning. Spent yesterday installing the manifold, turbo, building the hot pipe to the intercooler, installing the dash, and lengthening my downpipe.
Today, I finished installing the exhaust pipe to the stack, building my wastegate out pipe that goes out behind the hood, reinstalling the fender, running the fuel pressure line, boost lines, installed the gauges and hooked them up. Had my wife help me bleed the injectors and get it started. Damn that engine sounds strong.
The truck runs, and moves, I haven't driven it yet, I need to bleed the rear brakes some more they are pretty soft. I ran the truck for a while to get the thermostat opened and circulating water. I've purged the air out of the water lines, I still have a couple of drip leakes on the 2" side. I'm going to have to get some heavy duty clamps so I can get some torque on them. I've broken probably five regular clamps trying to get them tight enough. The 2" hose I used is just very stiff.
My new decals are being printed this week for the truck, still need to wash all of the dirt off the truck from sitting all winter and adjust the caltrac's once i get the truck on level ground.
I've really getting itchy to drive it now. Should flow like butter over the rough terrain with the suspension changes.
Here are some pictures from the last two days:
