Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
No real progress on this truck. It has an oil leak behind the injection pump. I started it up Friday to find the leak. Yeah, I found it. A tappet cover bolt has backed out and oil is running out of the threads. The govonor housing on the injection pump is leaking too. I'll be swapping a 180 pump on it anyway soon. Also noticed a big ol mouse nest in the bell housing. SOB! I tried getting it out with no luck. Going to have to pull the trans. While I'm in there I have to check the rear main seal as it appears to be seeping, but can't tell if it's run off from the tappet cover or not. I've made a list of stuff to do because I'm taking it to the All Truck Nats September 6th in KC.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Your truck is looking awesome, iv'e been checking your thread all along. Wanted to let you know that I took the V-rig to Nashville pulling a 16ft H&H enclosed trailer loaded. That Burb is bad ass and everything you did has turned out to real solid. The truck is working out great. I cant fill it up without someone asking about it. Thanks again Keep up the good work.

Anyway the fork needs to be built up a little where it contacts the throw out bearing. no big deal though. just glad to get it. |

Nick swapped out the industrial 190 injection pump with a 180hp dodge pump. It idles smoother, has no more haze at idle, and no leaks. :lol:
