Excellent. Now it's one foot in front of the other. Stop dropping those shoes! Enjoy.

got my truck back today and what a difference! a lot more power and runs super quite. next up is the valve gaskets and crank plug. Fantastic! I'm glad to hear it ended up well.

there is still a TON to do with this thing but i hope it will be worth it in the long run. i love the feel and look of the truck but an vehicle with 274,000 miles on it is going to need some work. the suspension is really a big issue when ever i drive it i feel like all four wheels are going to fall off.

Did your shop replace the idler arm? If not, replace it ASAP. Its so easy even I could do it. Basic hand tools and about an hour to take it slow, half an hour in a hurry, or less. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0rlsxujr0w
