Re: Project Family Chummins

I spent about 2 hrs cleaning the garage. Lots of tools and parts everywhere. Why you ask? So I could move the truck over to give me room to install the passenger side doors.

Yep, that's right, the truck moved under its own power!!!!!

A couple of observations:
1) I need to add some power steering fluid
2) The brakes are pretty mushy. Later I did notice some wet fittings, so I'll go back and wipe them all down and see which ones end up wet again and tighten.
3) The clutch felt pretty much like stock. I was only in the garage and only move back and forth a few times to scoot the truck over, but it felt good and "manuervering speed" wasn't an issue.

So here's the shot for the night:



I need to put some finishing touches on a few things (botls in fenders...stuff like that) and then some quality control double checking, through the hood and grill on, and I think she'll be ready for a test drive to the alignment shop.
