Re: 68 C50 Looongbed pickup build
So this last weekend I did not get to work on the truck at all. We were hauling hay during which time my 2005 Duramax decided to go in to limp home mode (nothing over 2k RPM) and then after shutting it down wouldn't start at all. I can't tell you how frustrated I was. We tried bleeding the filter and got a couple of air bubbles and then clean fuel. The Monday my brother tried it again and it started and is running fine now. The worst part is it did not set any codes in the computer so there is noting to go diagnose except symptoms and I don't trust it anymore.
Anyway, I hope to get the frame welded back together this coming weekend. The driveshaft shop called today to let me know they had finished shortening it and that it was ready to pick up. If I get the frame welded back together then I can start on reattaching the reinforcing plates, then I have a lot of gaskets and seals to replace before I put the 68 body on. Stay tuned...
