Thanks again to everyone for all the help.

If Josh (Army_Dude) cannot find anyone closer to help him get a new engine from Wichita to where his truck is, so he can put it in and continue on his way to Colorado, then I will be driving up there tomorrow to help him out.

Ackattack · 05-19-2006, 12:26 AM

Good luck! If I were still in KS I'd help you out, but i'm a little far away now.

He thinks he has someone to get him and the motor up to the Lebo exit off of 35 (about 100 miles north of Wichita). Now he needs some extra hands to help pull the engine and put the new one in if you have time this evening or Saturday.

Southpa · 05-19-2006, 12:29 PM

Wow! This board is better than AAA!

RicksTrucks · 05-19-2006, 05:13 PM

Motor and Josh should be at the truck now. Anyone able to go by tonite or tomorrow to lend a hand on the motor exchange?

When I talked to Josh about mid-day today, they had the engine, transmission and accessories put together and were about to drop them back into the truck. A member of a motorcyle board that he is a member of drove down from Kansas City Friday nite and has been helping him. They guy had done it before, so has been a big help.
