Ed looks funny, but he's a keeper for sure.

You just want me to do a Bort thread.
I did do a Mini Mac thread, can't be any worse, can it?

Knowing the Malaysian schoolchildren that designed the Bort, anything is possible...

You’re missing out. They are a great platform. My only complaint was how quickly the stock HD2 air filter would load up, even with an Outwears Pre Filter. But the MaxFlow fixed that.

WHAT??!!

 

[redline4]

Trimmed the tabs of the limiter caps.


Pulled the plate back out


Put both back in place and pressed the plate back in.


Line up the coil wire with the groove in the case and groove in the top cover.


And now just waiting for the brake stuff.

I've been keeping my eyes open for one locally. Ive had very good luck with outerwear prefilters , I really can't recommend them enough.

Nah I always say that when I see a big muffler outlet, whether it's actually loud or not.

I dig how you take advice positively and learn stuff as you go. Good work

Should be a nice wood slaying machine Ed. Nice job on the build and taking time to document the steps.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

This thing still ain’t done yet?

 

[Canadian farm boy]

Saw looks good Ed. Nice work
Did you find the brake handle and other brake parts you need? I’m sure if I go digging I’ll have most everything you need

 

[redline4]

No.
Brake handle should be here this week I think.
Thats all I need.

Was a bit busy at work yesterday..
If anyone asks you to put transmission cooler lines in their half ton GM diesel, run.

Are the 1/2 tons much different from the one tons? I put AN10 trans lines on my Duramax. Also put new lines on a 3/4 ton, neither were too difficult but they also look quite different than the lines you show.

Completely different.

The 3/4, 1 tons use a 6.6l v8

The half tons use a 3.0l inline 6.

Here's a 1 ton getting a turbo.



This has to an 06ish model
Lly or lbz, don't recall which, but no egr coolers tells me it's not an LmL.
