Unashamed 400 addict. Best. Trucks. Ever.
So, since I've been gone for several months, time for an update.
Some of y'all may have heard me talk about what my employer did, but can't remember if I mentioned it. Long story short, they made bad parts and a helicopter crashed and killed the pilot. We were obviously investigated, and it lasted until two weeks before Thanksgiving. They shut the plant down and all 130 of us lost our jobs. I was able to find new employment about 3 weeks later. Getting everything in my life back in line finally, so I can start to get back to poor Elise now.
Elise is currently sitting in the back yard broke down and undrivable. At least two of the injectors are just puking fuel and flooding out the engine so bad that she won't drive.
Also planning to do the distributor, ICM, ignition coil, fuel pump and pressur regulator, and some other stuff while I'm in there.
My girlfriend lives up in Idaho close to Black Bear, so when I go to get her and bring her back down in a few months, I'm hoping to be able to get in for some live tuning.
I will be upgrading to 1 ton dually brakes up front when I tear the front end apart and rebuild it. Hoping to do the big 3.5" drum brakes in the rear at the same time.
May look into having the 80E and 246 rebuilt while I'm dumping money into her. Just have to see.
