Message: [QUOTE="Matt_P, post: 389339, member: 277"] Thanks guys! Made a ton of progress today, All the help from Jason, Bryan and Mink made things go a lot quicker today! Basically the truck is ready for a test drive minus one stupid oil leak issue. Today I got the rest of the exhaust made, intake made, shift linkage made (huge thanks to jason for the help with that). Soldered in the last couple wires. Put the fan on, bled the brakes from the cab being off, put the front end back on. Ran the tcase wiring harness. Then some small odds and ends. I meant to get a video with the exhaust and everything hooked up but I forgot, but it sounds dam good! The turbo has plenty of whistle to it. I even put the truck in drive for the first time and it moved about 3 inches under its own power LOL So I had it ready for the test drive when the one oil leak Ive had since I first fired the engine bit me in the ass. The oil feed line fitting for the powersteering/vaccum pump has never stopped leaking and its a steady leak. Ive tried plenty of fittings with no luck. Well then the hydroboost fitting on the back of the pump started leaking too. Then the threads on the pump for the oil feed stripped out. So of course the last non new part is preventing me from driving the truck, gonna have to try putting a new pump on tomorrow to finally drive it.
