I've been hitting this thing hard trying to get it knocked out! This weekend I got the engine and trans moved back to get more clearance in between the radiator and fan.
I modified the stock dodge lower radiator hose and installed it. Installed the RH CAC pipe after I painted it, and installed the block heater cord. Installed the oil fill valve cover and cut a hole in the top plate to access it.
Got the rear axle centered under the truck, set pinion angle, welded spring perches to axle, and installed shock mounting brackets on the axle tubes. I also cleaned and inspected rear hub bearings and brakes. Installed new wheel seals, installed a new pinion seal and yoke, and primed the axle tubes. I installed both drive shafts and soldered in the plug for the trans valve body.
Installed the LH CAC pipe.
I've got a check list that was around 35 things and I'm down to around 25 now before this truck should be done.
