ya might throw all that in just in case. the in-lb tq wrebch wld be a good idea as i dont have one and i know nathan doesnt either,,,,,,altho he has done many swaps w/o it sucessfully. we dont have the inj tube puller either. not necesary but handy to have.nathan never uses 1 of these eitr.



Does this mean I'm volunteered for the job? I can handle it. I use the feel method of torque . If the Ol Blue wants to torque things to spec that can be done as well as long as someone has the specs. It might take me a hour if I have to torque things though.[/quote]

what,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,an hr. take ya twice as long as usual eh ;D

Hey Muddy,<br><br>Not sure if I will bring the camper. It kind of scares me jacking that wobbly thing high enough to load it up. It would be nice to just be able to hook onto a camp trailer and not have to take the toolbox out and everything. Might just sleep in the cab. It definitely wouldn’t be the first time. <br><br>Mike<br>

It sounds like Nathan has the calibrated arm goin' with as many sets of injectors he's tested. But if anybody would like to have a torque wrench on hand and other assorted electical tools, specialty tools let me know. I've also got a four and a half inch hole saw if anybody has a Scotty Air Filter they want to install.

Hey Rob&quot;OlBlue&quot;, saw your post on NWB and Old Smokey's from your neck of the woods. Maybe you two could hook up for the drive down...

Don Miller, will have the timing kit there so we can handle that for you.

Lookin' good Muddy, going to have a geat turn out!!! Can't wait. Lon

Hi Rotorhead,

I've been talking with Mike. Our departure times aren't quite the same, but we're working on it. Mini bombvoy!!

I'll bring the torque specs and get claw foot sockets if you wouldn't mind bringing your torque wrench (inch-lb and 3/8&quot; drive?). Does the intake manifold bolt really work (thread) into injectors?

Thanks
Rob

Yep it works. If you remove three and loosen the other it moves right out of the way and you dont need a crows foot either. You might need a new gasket though. I happen to have a couple just incase. Also if you remove your rear motor thingy majig (sorry cant think of the name right now, brain fart) it makes the back two injectors easier to change.<br><br>[quote author=OlBlue link=board=12;threadid=10061;start=60#100453 date=1044389115]<br>Does the intake manifold bolt really work (thread) into injectors?<br><br>Thanks<br>Rob<br>[/quote]

OlBlue

OK, I get it. Save the money for bombs instead of tools

I'll definitely be ask'n you for pointers n maybe a gasket with payment in blitzes? Crepes? Burger n soggy fries?

Idaho CTD

I haven't a clue what the first two are but I know what a burger and soggy fries is. I guess I should keep my mouth shut so I can stand around and B.S. instead of work. <br>I'll probably be changing a set in mine this week and again next week and probably the week after that. So needless to say I should have some practice by the beginning of March. Heck the other truck might get a couple of changes in this month too . BTW I think a friend of mine has a 19mm crows foot. I just use a open ended wrench that is angled. <br><br><br>[quote author=OlBlue link=board=12;threadid=10061;start=60#101060 date=1044482074]<br>blitzes? Crepes? Burger n soggy fries? <br>[/quote]

OlBlue

Dang.<br><br>I'm still waiting on Dealer to replace the APPS on my rig. I had it in there again this morning so they could call Star again. Anyway, I picked up some gaskets while I was there. I was looking forward to introducing you to some home made blitzs. If time allows, I'll make some for you in Ontario the night before.

I received the first of the contributions for the Beer Fund. Thanks “DEZLPWR”. I’ve been home with a sick wife and kids so I haven’t got prices on the keigs yet. I will be going to work tomorrow and will ask my boss were he has bought his keigs for his company parties. I WILL HAVE PRICES BY THIS WEEKEND”. I will cash the checks once we have enough for the brew-haw. If I do not get enough $$$, I will return checks to all who put forth to the fund. The fund is at $25 right now and I will keep you all posted as the days count down. I’m getting’ thirsty just talking about it. I’m looking forward to meeting all who are showing up and DRIVE SAFE!!! If anybody needs anything or runs into problems on the way in I can be reached on my cell phone: 208-484-3088. Lon

All those contributing to the keg fund get to be in the &quot;priority line&quot; at the keg(s) Lon, I'll help you chase down sources for the kegs.

On another, more serious note, a suggestion to those expecting to have work done on their trucks. Would you please take the time (and a few quarters) to blast off as much grime from the engine (and if exhaust work is anticipated, under the truck) as you can. It makes it much nicer to work on and less chance of contamination. This particularly critical if we do valve adjustments, injector changes and timing cuz we're opening up the engine and injection pump. Blast the top of the injection pump, around the injectors, and down the front where the oil fill tube connects to the case cover. Everywhere you see dirt and oil. Get a can of engine degreaser and use it first, if you really want to do the job right.

Might be a good idea to hose off the fenders too, so we don't grind the grit into the paint.

Hit a car wash in the area the day before or on your way to Cubby's on Sat. or Sun.

Thanks. Looking forward to it. Only 3 weeks away!

Come on guys, don't be cheap.... : I know there are more beer drinkers out there! This will be the first bomb party with keg(s) that I am aware of. Let's make it happen! ;D

STAY AWAY from the engine degreaser!<br><br>It will remove the clear coat from many engine parts. Please consider the use of a strong soultion of Simple Green, or similar. Spray on, let soak, use a soft/medium brush, then hose off. We have used &quot;Oil Eater&quot; from Costco for drips on the driveway, and it works well, but I think that it is too strong for engine cleaning, as well. Simple Green is a safe bet.<br><br>Do this with the engine COLD!<br><br>Jay is correct, as it is much more pleasant to work on a clean rig.
