Re: finally getting started
 

checking the fit of the motor,ordering motor mount plates monday:devil:

Re: finally getting started
 

Ordered motor mount plates yesterday,can you send factory harness off to make it plug-in go,would it be cost efficent to buy a plug and go from tech-rods,which is cheaper?

Re: finally getting started
 

got mounts today and got motor mocked-up,and got cab off (what a disaster),took doors off before lifting with motor puller:waah:

Re: finally getting started
 

also found why the right side tank didnt work
