Oh this thing is pissing me off..
So no go tonight, it's 12:48 and I've gotten most of the stuff ready to run. Only a few minor items left before I can start it. Fuel pump needs to be wired, the one tank needs to be pumped dry of diesel, I need to wire up the starter and alternator. Run battery cables and fill the trans.
I just found out the oem intake boot or hose whatever it's called hits my hood.. I swear I've spent some much money twice on this crap.. getting old real quick!
Anyway I'm sure it'll be great once she's fired up and idleing.
I also got the cooling system squared away.

Haha not that early!
Lookin good Steve. Take your time. We'll wait. Lol
It could be worse, you could spend all that money just to have the long block blow up in 2 months... HAHA I wanted to cry....
Ha that's why I got the warranty!
Thanks Eddie!
I got 3 year unlimited the 2nd time around.
Real close now, got the diesel pumped out of the tank, there was 8 gallons left and the new pump had zero issues self priming which was nice, it also makes 62 psi! Wtf over! That was supposed to be a 58 psi regulator.. oh well.
The fuel system holds tight and I left the gauge on there to see what it is when I get up in the morning.
Literally right now I could start it. But I'll wait for daylight. I gotta Prescott az turnaround tommorow so it'll be a long day!

Tried to start but I must have got the cool wires mixed up somehow?? Magic smoke from the starter area.. uh oh
Jeez. Red is positive. Black is negative. Lol
Could just be a loose connection, i've seen those smoke pretty good.
