Super In Law finished up breaking down the pile of front end parts . All boxed up in heavier Home Depot black & yellow totes.
 Matt dropped off the suspension tie plates that 914 Rubber had laser cut. Matt is going to record a welding and shaping video with Super In Law.  |

Powerstroke turbo install.
 Tidy up the area.  Reverse the CCV dog house in preparation for mod.  New EPBV deleted pedestal installed. Not a blank. This version eliminates the possibility of the delete throwing a CEL.  38 lbs. and a very tight fit/work area. I'm told Ford's book time includes lifting the cab for work space.  Just about wrapped up. It was my day for having the dropsy's.  Test drive went well. I was told the turbo would be louder. I didn't notice anything obnoxious. AKA Hillbilly. Nice to have that out of the way. Remaining WCR Checklist. 1. Rotate and re-balanced truck tires 2. Get trailer tires re-balanced 3. Inspect trailer brake magnets 4. Steam clean trailer 5. PlasticDip 914 studded tires 6. Install E-Track in trailer to stand up spare tire. 7. Maybe cut in/install roof vent |

Short Episode of Tool Whore ............. Thursday 5/25/17
On my shop equipment equipment list was added a pallet stacker. The totes of parts are getting filled up. Which means they can't be brought down complete, which is a PIA. I've been watching this Big Joe pallet stacker on Craigslist for about 6 months. It started out at $1400. It's finally down to $700. This is nothing real fancy. No power walk. #2000 capacity. Needs a paint job, switch and new battery. Perfect for what little I'll use it. Compact, won't take up too much room and it lifts 11 ft. from the floor. So I finally get the address. $600 later its loaded into the truck.   Tucked into its new home. We'll stop and pickup a new switch on the way out to the shop this am. Here's the equipment list I wrote last winter .............. chipping away at it.  |

Speaking of deals (I know you already have one but) Tractor Supply has an IR, 2 stage, 80gal, 5hp, 150psi for $800 something. That is only $200 more than I paid for my Lowe's, Campbell Hausfield, single stage 135psi 80 gal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

We made it back from WCR late last night with our amazing gift from Tgaboy (Steve).
I'm still in awe .................  The trip home started to get pretty exciting between Susanville and Mt.Shasta. Lots of roller coaster type hills. Which meant shifting in and out of Overdrive. That switch function stopped working all together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) But then after a while things smoothed out and the shifting came back and we made it home. Assume transmission cooled down ............ This am my daughter and her boyfriend were using the truck to go bike riding. After it got warmed up it stopped shifting from 1st. to 2nd. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Game over. I've been nursing it along for a couple years. Most have been divine intervention. To get Jack home safe and sound. I have a rebuild appointment on the 19th at EIS here in Sherwood. Super razu HD rebuild. 2 1/2 times larger tranny cooler, yada, yada, yada. Not for the faint of wallet. But I plan to keep the truck for another 300k miles. |

For those that have been following my crazy life. Today is Super In Law's (Jack) Birthday. 87 years old. That is a good life ....................
Yes he's slowed down quite a bit. After his heart scare he's way more cautious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/birthday3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/birthday3.gif) Today is the post WCR shop restart. 1. Finish Mark's for sale car. Finish brakes, hoses and bleeding. Then pull the fuel and send off to 914 World for the team to install the interior. 2. That will make room for Taylor's car. It need some R & R of the front tub sheet metal do to rodent nests.  3. Than on to Doug's 6 cylinder motor mount. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

For Chris :
Super In Law giving Big Joes front wheels a tune up at 87. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) After the tune up he used Big Joe to lift an engine off a table. Then up onto the rack.   While I'm working I'm catching up on my WRC action.  |
