Well, if you're going to do it, now's the time before it's swung into the engine bay and bolted in. At least a different turbo and CAC, WMI, propane, nitrous, 2nd mortgage on the house. . .

Long time I made more than her. That flipped around bout 10 years ago. I need her to keep me in check-I can spend it all TOO fast.

A LOT of things financially went south rather quickly about 10 years ago. Vegas area and Nevada in particular.

Engine went in yesterday, it is bolted in. Had this little bit of damage on the bottom of the oil pan.
I was going to take more pics but forgot. With calving I don't spend a lot of time on it.

Touch up paint... Nah! Pull it out and rebuild it again.

It's not worth cleaning the spray gun, I'll only see it when changing oil.

Think of the increased wind drag, though, with that unpainted part of the pan hanging down!

I can live with that, the front diff. will break the wind. It's the least it can do as it was what scratched the pan.Think of the increased wind drag, though, with that unpainted part of the pan hanging down!

Breaking wind can increase your mpg, but limit the number of friends who ride along with you!

Which in turn, increases mpg even more.
If you can even see it installed just dab some of the paint on with a little paint brush from a kids watercolor set. Paper match works well too. Otherwise plan on painting when you have it out next- hopefully you have to deal with it for over 300,000 miles

I have 4 rads, 3 have the correct size trans cooler line for this truck. They are all F'ed up. The one with the smaller lines is perfect, go figure. This is a before pic
This is after several hours with an O ring pick straightening over 90% of the fins.
Why do people do this with pressure washers?

Leo, if you give me a place to charge my Ipod and feed me and pay for my trip up there, I will do radiator surgery and get 100 percent of the fins straight.
It is mind numbing work, and it takes me a few hours each day for about a week to do one.
