Ride'n on Faith
No way Glenn this was your "A" typical No Love Car! It is straight and kinda clean but under the hood No Luv'n there! lol. Now she's just like the rest of us here; plenty of good works and love'n on her! It's so like the Lord is in my life I couldn't afford any of this, the EF all the parts and time but when I prayed about it there was a calm and so we did this! and when ever I need a part/ suppier or anything I pray about it and theres a side job and the parts are paid for, this is def. a project of Faith.

I am thankful for a good job that I've been working with travel close to 70 hours a week. I am going to keep it up for as long as my health holds out. I might be getting a new Kenworth but I might have to take a new 48' lift-gate trailer too which means a 18 wheeler going into city neighborhoods which I dont want to do. The new laws make that impossible.

1 step @ a time
Saturday was a memory test on how everything came apart lol and how it goes back together! placed the head and torqued to 22 ft lbs and then 49 ft lbs and went around 2 more times to double check. Lined up the timing belt and put it back together w/ new H2o pump and idler/tensioner, installed the crank pulley. Set valve lash and sprayed a little purple paint (1 of Rachel's fav. kolors)
Sunday cleaned up the intake and distributor, painted windsheild wipers.

Looks good and I like the bleed over effect on the timing chain cover. Did you paint or powder coat it? Did you get it running yet?
EDIT: I see you painted it, its been a rough week with long hours working. I got the new truck.

I painted the cam cover and it was too shiny so I did a clear crinkle effect on it. The timing belt cover is Fusion hammered silver w/ purple clear around the edge.
Not running yet I hope to work on it tomorrow after church and get the intake cleaned up. You know Glenn it's alot of work bring'n a car out of the field to the street again, but it is soo much fun and enjoyment in the process . Drop this lil pup w/ new struts and 1.75" drop springs and get the stance we're looking 4.
Which reminds me time for the sandman....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Its a t440 Kenworth on a full frame -sleeper. I used to drive a 9200 Series International with a 15 liter motor. The new truck sits a foot higher and has a 17 foot wheel base and its like driving a straight truck towing a bus. I like it but with snow coming soon I have my worries. I get into some tight places and now that is real hard and soon to be impossible. Its has a 9 liter motor/ 6 speed auto and is under powered for Fuel economy but has a lot of features I like like a fan to cool the motor any time I want and a turbo timer I really like. Its actually quicker to 45 mph but after that no power. Leather interior and a lot of switches I have yet to figure out. No lift gate either, that is good. The best part is its mine as long as I work there and do not have to share it with anyone. Fuel economy is actually a little lower than the 15 liter. Today I average 5.8 but all week I got 4 mpg. People dont know what bad gas mileage is. The 15 liter I wound get 4.8 and on weekends 6.3 so I have to wait until it gets broken in before I comment anymore. Kenworth Truck Company

Its different than what I am used too and is very nice but just not for inner city where there is no room and people race around trucks even though the truck has the right a way. I do about 22 (average) stops a day with a volume run at the end.

I watch almost every episode and they do treat some of the roads and the speed limit is a lot slower, That is why it takes about a week to cover a round trip. Snow is not too bad to drive on but ice is dangerous at any speed. It is dangerous job that I would not want to do.

That is a nice rig. It would be hard to drive around here but then again you are not doing LTL stops in the city. The fit looks as big as your cab, so that must be nice after a days work.
