Diesel powered, ALL FORD 05 Ranger

OK, it was time to get back to it. John sent some pics to my phone today, and were close on the long block. Have a few things were doing still.

Never got to paint the engine compartment and frame rails before, so:

Still have to clean up the wiring, but I got some BIG ASS ISSPRO oil pressure, Water temp, and ammeter gauges and put them front and center. I want to know immediately whats going on with any of that.

Installed the second Snow water meth kit, painted the FICM, and anything that was BLUE, is now black.

Also added a few sponsor stickers, and removed one that I COUGH trusted COUGH no one would care about anymore.

I'm ready to get this fukkin thing back on the track.

Ordered a line lock, and a second set of rear calipers for the brakes.

Looks like you have room for a TRS sticker now!

 

[Dalpilot]

Time for a little paint and reinstall.

 

[COPPERHEAD85]

Sweeet!
Now quit jacking around with the camera and stick that pig back in the truck......lol!

 

[Dalpilot]

Went and got it today. Thanks John, you guys rock.

And got a new sticker for the truck. I like it.

Don't have the valve covers on yet because I don't have the injectors in yet. But I think it looks better in paint.

 

[Dalpilot]

ahhhhhh back home

 

[Dalpilot]

Its basically done, all rewired, and waiting for the injectors and turbo to go back on. Once they get here, they go on, and get back in action. I have to put the radiator back in, but I couldn't do that until I got the dampner back on, and it needs new bolts anytime you take them off. Oh yeah, one small thing. The damned starter. I forgot to put it on before I installed the motor. No biggie right, WRONG. You have to lift one side of the motor up to get it in between the frame rail. FML.

 

[Dalpilot]

I think I might cry......sniff

Yeah, its big:

Sweet jesus.

Makes the other one look like it came off a vacume cleaner!

 

[Dalpilot]

The "little one" is what basically comes on a stock 3/4 or 1 ton diesel pickup. It is what the Big one feeds. LOL We are moving some damned air, no doubt.

I had at one time played with this kind of idea, how many hours do you have in it?

 

[Dalpilot]

How many hours in 3 years?
