CCLB dually #2

I always thought you were putting in a 6.5TD But nice build so far.

6.5s seem pretty rare here. Now that woild have been total plug and play, but also money.

That'd kill the flip profit. I flew from San Diego to San Antonio to get mine and drove straight back

Bingo. As much as I hate to part with a sterling spare powertrain, it's going to make me a lot of money.

Well I kicked it out of the shop and swapped transmissions in my Camaro. Gonna be a few weeks before I can re-engage this thing. If my other dually bed sells in the meantime I'll be set for funds to finish this thing.

No no no! I need my update fix! Come on mang!

I'd love to but I'm going to Japan tomorrow and when I get back I gotta rage on the Camaro to get it race ready and build an engine or 2 in my garage to free up some space.

Ok fine! I'll get my fixes elsewhere

You know they won't be as good.

Went to the junkyard today and grabbed a radiator and shroud, mounts, gas pedal, throttle cable, PCM mount, airbox with elbow, and some other crap that escapes me. Also snuck in a brake pedal for the 1500 for hydroboost and a cam sensor for it to try and see if that gets rid of the misfires. Friend's shop is beginning to free up some too, so I think I can start knocking stuff out on this in the next month or 2. Still need that damn rubber elbow that is 454 specific though. Monday I'm grabbing a fuel tank, lines, and charcoal canister line from a CCLB 454 donor off Craigslist. That was one major hurdle I was facing so a huge relief to have found the parts and at a reasonable price. Just need someone to buy my spare dually diff now.

Great to see you back at it. My other fixes haven't been as good. I almost had to start working on my own truck lol.

Well actually I did body and rust and paint repair. But haven't done the intercooler yet!
