Engine basically done ready to go back in
Engine rebuilt and cleaned. All original paint

Tranny cooler cleaned only and put back in. Had been removed by the previous owner.

What was it using to cool the trans without the cooler in there? Running through the radiator?

They had another non-stock cooler in front of the radiator.

Happy New Year everyone. Here’s a quick update. Engine rebuilt and installed running great. Power difference is amazing.
Minus 7 in Lee’s summit this morning my brother fired it up

MAN I love that truck. Welcome home Winchy!
You should put the original spare back on now...
Or at least another blue steelie and BFG.

Made the 100 mile run up see Andrew at Baja Broncos
Had to take the Bridge pics.
The truck is running great. Had fun showing Andrew the truck. He hasn't seen it since it was shipped off to Missouri almost 2 years ago. Time flies!

 

[DirtDonk]

You stoppin' by the Roundup on the 7th of next month too?
