Yea, I know have a lot doubles of stuff now. It's all neat shelved and stacked in a 15x20 controlled climate unit, but I didn't label everything well enough....screwed myself there. So yea, another project.

Man, flushing out all the tanks in the trailer to much more time than expected. Had some weird black stuff in the tanks and what looked like stickers. Hope that wasn't the tank seals disintegrating lol. Well that took most of the day, had to get the trailer to cop a lean, then pump everything up hill for 140'. Except for the potable water tank, that can drain on the ground. Took awhile, they're clean and dry, that's one thing off the list.

Dang.... I'm tired today. The Diet Dr. Pepper isn't doing its magic for me.

Sorry you don't get a day off tomorrow, Noobs. At least the CEO took your side.

The 7.3 Godzilla has found it's way into the 2022 Mustang Cobra R. Destroked to 428ci. Damn. A pushrod motor, again.

I'm kind of thinking that that shaft's pitting probably won't clean up with crocus cloth.

LOL! Yea, I don't think repair bearing would help much either.

You ever drink enough pop that your eyes start twitchin? That's why I had to give up Mt. Dew and go to Diet Dr. Pepper.

AK,
Might need a grinder to fix that. They just need a big *** sub-arc and fill the journal then machine it to fit. Our Sub-arc will only go to 5/16" but I've seen our service dep't fix some irreplaceable stuff doing just that.
