Thanks for all the enthusiasm guys. I am really hoping to get this thing back together and broke in before the Innovative Diesel dyno day in Sept. but I got alot to do in a short time.

Will do. Will probably be this sat if I get the house work I need to do done during the week. Cab is all ready to be taken off and I hope to get that done one night this week.

Hey Robert if you need a hand Saturday let me know what time bud

Vader's Fury · Aug 24, 2011

I will let you guys know. It will probably be around or shortly after 12. I plan to pull the cab tomorrow evening so everything will be open and easy to get to.

Good deal bud

BTW work don't bother me
I can lay down right next to it

Vader's Fury · Aug 26, 2011

Well I got some more work done on the truck last night. Pulled the cab off the frame, pulled the driveshaft and got the stock turbo, up-pipes, fuel bowl, and all the wiring, etc off the top of the motor. Going to pressure wash the engine and trans tonight and hopefully pull the motor and trans to start tearing the motor down to install the cam.

Good deal Robert, you're making progress

Vader's Fury · Aug 26, 2011

Ya unfortunatly my full shop day got shot to he!! Cuz the hurricane. I gotta work sat and sun now.

Did get engine and trans all pressure washed though today after work.

cj45lc · Aug 26, 2011

Yep I figured the storm would throw a curve in Saturdays plans

Stay safe bud

Vader's Fury · Aug 28, 2011

So I got a little bored lasts night waiting for the storm to get here and went into the shop. I got the gen3 installed, exhaust manifolds pulled and the headers mounted. Unfortunatly I was working on the turbo mount when the power went out and I had to call it a night. Hoping to get back in there in a couple of days and get the turbo mounted and plumbed in.

Well I got some more done. A couple pics....

Lookin good Robert

I bet that is so nice not having to climb all over the truck.

Vader do you have a link to show how you wired in your power mirrors?

Tree Trimmer · Sep 2, 2011

when i did mine, i went from power paddle mirrors, to 05-07 power/heat tow mirrors. the power mirror functions, were colored the same on both the paddle and tow mirrors. i just had to add the turn/running/heat to it.

an option i did, is i got mine from a boneyard. car-part.com . they shipped the mirrors, and i asked for the door side plug in also. they simply clipped the plug and shipped it also. radioshack also has plug-ins you can retro-fit, but my thought, is i usually break one mirror a year, so if i used a retro-fit plug in, i would have to re-wire everytime i break one. this way, its still oem plug-n-play.
