Say hello to my little friend

huffentuff95 · 10-06-2008, 01:11 AM

Well his name is PAVER and I wanna thank him for helping me get my truck running OH! Jamie::: I was pointing the timing light the wrong way and soon figured out why a flash of light was blinding me when I pulled the trigger

I layed paver on the gas pedal and hopped out and after marking the 10* line with white out to the right of (TDC 0*) I turned the gun around and pulled the trigger (YES the spout connector was out) the white mark was to the left of the timing pointer say around 15*ATDC. I placed it @ 10*BTDC then took the truck down the road but noticed water leaking near the water pump, Yes flame me here, I forgot to put in the 2 top bolts through the water pump into the timing cover. The leak stopped.. The truck went through the gears and didn't stumble . Took it back to the garage and ran it for 20 minutes at idle , without paver's help . Oh paver is a brick of a dude

Yes I still have the dipstick and oil leak issue... Gonna get the hood on and drive it through some run cycles. It revs clean and quick. So I made some progress today. Tomorrow I visit the carwash hopefully and wash off the VHT and mud from the rear bed along with 6 months worth of dust and dirt... It felt funny driving down the road it was only a mile round trip but it made it home!!!

My helper's name is jack. He takes a bit to get going but when you tell him to hold something he never lets go.

Yes it was dirty it was a 7 mile round trip , I got to feel some power too still have some drivability issues almost stalled a couple times but , I will get the bugs worked out Hopefully . seeing the truck clean and shiny made my day!!!
