I believe that Big D has found the rhythm again! MMMmmmust add Diesel Fuel and other fluids soon.................... :D
Something else to consider. The Cummins will run easily to 8K miles on a oil change using standard good quality dino oil. In a SHTF situation I am fairly sure that you could stretch that considerably if required. I always start our well plants on high zinc break in oil, then I run them a hour or so drop the oil and filter refill and then call it good. Your updates and project in general are great motivators to my own project.
I've seen and known about that truck for years. Some pretty amazing fab work there. How about that bed???
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

And that finishes up build day #216

A bit of an expedition/SHTF type of build. This i what it looked like back many years ago. We will be starting with a bare frame/cab and not much else as soon as it warms up enough to extract the frame from it' outside resting place.

Start a build thread on that thingWe'd have two old Dodge crews going at the same time!
That is a purdy old truck there. Another build would be great!!!I would run good ol dino oil for the break in at least. Been doing some reading on how good the diesel oil is for about everything (but not vise versa) A lot to do with zinc an flat tappet cams.As for the tranny on SD, just add the oil and crack an upper line and let it bleed awhile.
LoL, it would look like the dogs got it?
don't count out the dogs just yet don, looks like they got what theys was after.
A guy with build threads about firearms used everything BUT a gun to end the threat.....Brake Cleaner with a match and I'd have given you a pass for at least being creative! >:(Recipe for Skunk Stink to remove it:Bottle Hydrogen PeroxideCouple tablespoons of "DAWN" dish liquid1/2 Cup or so Baking SodaMix this in a glass dish outside near hose and ONE of said, Skunky, tied up Dogs.Take mixture and heap and scrub on dogs from top down of affected area- KEEP OUT OF DOGS EYESRinse off with hose, warm water if you want it to work a bit better, cold if you really hate your dogs and like cold hands. If enough "mix" left, repeat right away.You'll need another batch for Dog #2 and you should be good to go. If you find the fragrant "goo" on the house, you could try it, but not certain what Peroxide will do to siding/brick.You might have discovered that when you're right at the point of attack, the smell is SO strong that it almost stops smelling......almost! ;DHopefully your dogs are up on their Rabies Vaccinations, as skunks are one of the most prevalent carriers of Rabies!
