Guess I better get cracking if I want to get it up and running before UCC.

Amish superduty. I wanted to clean up the frame and suspension so I pulled the box along with the cab. And since I still don't have my own hoist, I needed a way to move it out of my buddy's shop. Seems would work well, sure got some strange looks on my 5 mile drive home.

Cylinder and piston look fine. Sure glad RCD did 60 thousandths fly cuts for their stage 3 cam. Might have ended worse. Piston has a slight imprint where valve and piston made sweet love when the rocker arm let loose.

Heads are gonna be taken down to Drew at D&J. Along with my intake since I decided it would be a good idea to pull threads on one of the plug holes. He is gonna repair the intake and head. And the flow bench them and see what gains can be had from his CNC program.

Goal is to push as possible out of the work stock legal chargers as possible. I have more feeling to hurt this coming season. I stirred up some hurt last season as little as it was out. Time to bring on the hurt.

I think while it's apart I'm going to have the frame blasted and painted. I'm this close to having it torn down this far, might as well do it now.

Isn't that everyone's goal?? Haha.
I'm curious to see what Drew can do with the heads.

I would get as much Michigan off that truck as possible while it's torn down lol.

Me too. I'm gonna message him and see what he's thinking on them. He had some ideas off the start but wanted time to see what else he could do for me.

Honestly the truck is in really good shape now. It's only seen 2 michigan winters. It was a Texas truck before it made its way to Wisconsin. And then the guy in WI blew it up before it's 1st winter.

I thought the frames on these were e-coated from the factory? My dads 2010 has spent most of its life in Michigan and the actual frame is not rusted at all. The sheet metal is starting to show some rust though.

Not sure what the factory coating is, but I've got some bare metal with surface rust showing in spots. And where the coating is still fine it's dull and crappie looking. I'd like a high gloss black, to make it look better than the day it was new.

Spent all weekend at UCC and picked up parts from Drew. Hope to start working on it soon. Work is crazy so who knows how long assembly will take.

Got the majority of the engine back together. Just waiting on my intake to come back from powder. Tomorrow I plan on pulling the trans for a few R&D parts and a quick peak at the clutches. Might even send the converter out for a refresh.

Psssht they look stock when I bolt the intake to them. 😂 Soon as it gets back from powder I'll get the rest of the engine assembled. So I can pull it out of the frame. Gonna scuff the frame up and paint it. Then this winter I'll pull all my suspension parts and powder them.
