I'm off all week, so hoping to get major progress done on the truck. Headed to the drive shaft guy first thing in the morning. So far this weekend, I've got the exhaust manifold mounted, turbo mounted, and we've started working on the exhaust, but UPS lost one of my pieces! (they said it was delivered and my aunt signed for it, but that's not the truth!). Found some matching seats for the rear, and bought all the seat belts out of a 2010 truck. Anyone know what the trick is to get them unwound?
Anyways, also got the new 1410 yoke installed on the transfer case rear output, gas tank cleaned as best i could- I'm scared I'll break something off if I try any harder to get the whole sending unit out. Also, seems to me like the pickup tube is about 3-4inches off the bottom of the tank- is this right? (se picture below).
In anticipation of wiring, I've been looking for an oil pressure sensor- anyone have a good picture of where it should be? all indications point towards underneath the injection pump, but it sure doesn't look like anything is there on my motor. I added a boost bolt, really clever product, and also a Tork Tek banjo bolt with a fuel pressure snubber in the head.
Pictures:
EGT probe tapped
exhaust manifold mounted:
turbo on there too:
had to do some hammer clearancing to get this much of the exhaust in- i'm missing the next piece
Here is where clearance was really tight, there will be more clearancing needed further down the pipes too
new yoke installed
hard to tell, but this is the inside of the gas tank, the red tube I am assuming is the pickup- it looks so short!
Mocking up the seats to make brackets tomorrow
