Ok, the moment you've been waiting for - the movie! This movie was taken at about 1 AM, minutes after we got the Truckdoza started. Dad, Rich and I were there. We had been working on the truck ever since 9:30 in the morning, so to say the least it was a long day. We would have had it running around 7PM until near disaster. We added the coolant and it started leaking copiously from the water pump! It was dripping all over the place. A brand new water pump and housing, it had loose bolts! We had to remove the timing covers, the intermediate shaft pully, the timing belt, and then redo the water pump and put it back together and retime the motor. What a pain! But we did it in standard flat rate fashion and then got the machine up and running finally. |
