year 1 is done
|Just finished my first year with my truck. It started out running terrible and now purrs like a kitten..
My list of changes in the last year:
- Adjusted the kickdown so it will finally shift above 2000rpm ( the guy before me didn't know how to adjust it after repairing the tranny
- New MAF sensor
- New Plugs/Wires/Cap/Rotor
- Milled the exhaust manifold and welded up a crack to stop the leaks
- Added an electric fan as a backup for the hot summers here in Ontario
- 4 tires
- Front brakes
- Front Caliper
- Complete clean of the EGR valve (completely plugged)
- New Cat
- new tailpipe
- new oxygen sensor
On the list for the next year
- Re-ring the engine (bore if needed .. then I will up the compression)
- Balance shaft removal
- Valve job
- New valve springs
- Mill the head
- New water pump/oil pump
- New replacement cam or regrind the factory cam
- Build a custom header
- Swap in an 8 3/4 or Ford 8.8 with axles drilled for the 6 bolt rims
- Calvert style bars
- Find an NOS seat cover and foam to replace the worn one in the truck
This engine has 240K KM and the valve seals leak so it's time for a rebuild
