gotsa nut you be needing to wrench on there.... (2nd pic)

 

Yeah, I dunno wtf those were supposed to go to lol... They're just sittin there on the side of the ps pump bracket.

 

I might be inclined to suggest that maybe the air-pump adjuster bracket goes in there... but I don't have one to look at.

 

Air-whatsit-now? Aint never seen that before. Works dandy regardless of whatever components I'm lacking lol.

 

air-pump, smog-pump, steal-yer-hp-pump... whatever.
If it works, why break it, right?

 

Oh that epa hippy scare you about that so called global warming effect device? Yeah, I'm working to delete all that stuff

 

Yeah I don't get it.
... they want EGR valves to limit NOx emissions which allegedly makes acid rain.
... they make you use catalytic converters which results in more CO2.
... they now are finding that nitrogen in the atmosphere HELPS plants grow and suck up the CO2.
... they complain there's too much CO2

so to me, it would make sense to get rid of EGR valves so that there'd be more nitrogen in the air for the plants to use so they could suck up all that CO2 the Eco-freaks made us make by requiring catalytic converters.

 

Yeah, the air we breath is 78% nitrogen anyways, SO STOP STEALING MY AIR!

 

Okay well I've driven it a good 500 miles since I've done it all. Averaging a hand calculated 21.3mpg with those 35x12.50s and 5.29s. Not bad at all. Thats wide open throttling it everywhere. My only complaint is that @ wot in 5th, down hill with a good tailwind, I'm only able to hit 65mph for short periods of time. I think it'll be better with some 37s.

Does great on the trails. Though I'm definitely gonna weld the rear on Monday...

 

Though i think the speed thing is definitely a result of the low gearing rather than lack of power. I can hold 55mph up a decent sized hill in 5th without having to downshift.

Definitely need to throw some bigger meats on there. Just ain't wanna have to buy some longfields from brian this very moment. MY BEER MONEY! Lol...

 

Those two studs/nuts that you just have sitting there tie into the OEM ps pump bracket which you didn't bother to get ya hillneck redbilly.

 

Say......that loose nut....the one on the truck.....not the one takin' the pics....doesn't that also torque down the timing cover at the top corner?

 

wouldn't the one taking the pics also torque down the timing cover?

 

Apparently not....lol

 

Hey now, I told you I'd figure out something! Works great too. That pump supposed to hum real loud? Cause mine does... Works great, just almost sounds like a supercharger lol.

And what in the sam hell yall talkin about, timing cover bolt needs to be tightened down? Maybe I'm just hung over, but yall gots me confused as hell...

 

Is it alive yet?


I think that loud hum just means that its working good!

 

Yeah, it alive and wheelin!

I'm actually surprised as hell that I'm getting as good fuel economy as I am. I think once I throw some bigger meats on there I may see a small increase. Because then I won't have to WOT it all over the place to see any kind of speed.

Also I'm thinking about taking my train horn off the dodge and putting it on the yoter. I dunno...

 

In this pic, Clint.....

the loose nut on the bolt nearest the philips head screw on your dist. cap. That one! Doesn't that bolt go through the timing cover?

 

Naw, that bolt is on the powersteering pump bracket. The bolt attaches to nothing and doesn't go through the bracket.

 

Its this thing right here.
