Got my gauge in to monitor the new 155s......too bad I couldn't find a King Ranch factory match gauge. Settled with a autometer phantom 2.
What have you done to your powerstroke today?

Those match decent. Still have my fingers crossed on Isspro coming out with a KR match line...

They match close enough, I'm happy with it.
Ordered a set of "Load Lifter 5000" Air Lift bags today. Should help prevent bulldogging when I have a big trailer on it, lol
Came to $250 shipped, and qualifies for a $50 rebate as well, so bags for $200 with a lifetime warranty....good deal!

Had it towed back to my house so I could replace the water pump that went out. The plug for the weep hole ended up wedged in one of the pulleys. Bearing behind the pulley is toast with metal shavings everywhere.
A little bit nasty
Going to do a flush and get it all cleaned out.
On a side note for anyone else doing a waterpump on a 2002 7.3L; the neck for the lower radiator hose is different on the 2002 than the previous years....so you actually need to get a hose from a 99-01 truck when you get the water pump. The diameter is larger, so you can't simply cut the old one and slip it on.

Gave it a bath, coat of wax, conditioned seats, vacuumed, wiped all the dust off the interior, and cleaned the glass.

That's weird. I've never had a hard time pulling the tc out. Might have something to do with your leakDone. 2.5 hours total. It seems I've welded the tc in with all the powah my truck makes.

Wednesday: picked up all my parts to get my engine built up.
Thursday and Friday: put engine together
Saturday 11am, fire up engine proceed with recomended breakins. Loaded on trailer headed to pull.
Saturday night, Truck got hooked to sled, Truck thought it was a rabbit.
Sunday drove to another local pull. Hooked in two clases using different tunes trying to figure out this trucks new attitude.
in 30 hours time. Started engine, hooked three times and put 180 miles on it. Sounds like a good break in to me.

I finally had time to install my Fox shocks and steering stabilizer I got from Josh at The Diesel Cartel. What an improvement! I should've done them earlier!
Installed the Air Lift bags today, looks good. Did a "T" so they are connected and put the fill valve in next to the fuel cap.
Went to lube the slide pins and found one side already badly siezed. Pads on that side are toast. So now to find the parts and finish the brake job tomorrow. Always something.

Drive it to work for the first time this week. Pushed some coolant, got depressed at how dirty it was, parked it back in the driveway and walked away.

built a hitch/sled stop cover thingy to hide the monstrosity of a hitch so I can lighten up the rear and hang more weight on the front..
