The way it's looking I'll have a free week coming up soon and I'm hoping to jump on the exhaust and re run some lines to clean up under the hood. Sorry it's taking so long guys but I will definitely update this soon as I find some time to get things done.


Let me know when you plan on doing that, I need to get the specs from my dad so we can get those solenoids set up too.

Colton and I have worked on this yesterday and a little today. We got the 4 inch exhaust all done and got the OD and lock up solenoids wired in. We've spent some time driving it and tuning the solenoids to get it set how we want. It's taking a lot of fine tuning so were about to run the solenoids into the cab so we don't have to keep getting out to adjust them. We plan to take it into town to get a new ac line made up tomorrow and charge the system, it's too dang hot to cruise windows down haha. I can already tell this truck is going to be fun to drive and we haven't even left the neighborhood in it yet :D

This truck runs and drives great , we're still working on a few very minor things like the trans shift linkage and cleaning up a few hoses. Last night we decided to swap wheels and tires off Colton's obs project just to make this one more road worthy. It looks pretty good! Once it gets a new windshield it'll get tinted and washed, buffed, and waxed. Here's a picture of a screen shot I took of a snap chat, hopefully Colton can get a better picture today.

We got a manual from diesel conversion specialists and it covered just about everything for the wiring. We're still trying to figure out the tach to avoid buying the setup from DCS.

The fummins let my sister down for the first time today. It blew a trans line on the way to class this morning and left her on the side of the road. We thought it was going to rub but hadn't taken the time to reroute them. We're looking into making steel lines to prevent it from happening again.

That looks similar to my setup. I ran into trans problems and I just bypassed the switches but I felt like I needed to run the truck on jackstands to bleed the air out of the hose to properly adjust the switches it just never happened

That's not a bad idea,! I need to look into trying something like that
