I only have one picture.
Why the hell does everyone always want to know what I break? Y'all suck.
Friday night I melted my right O2 harness
Saturday @ the M+G I was rewiring the O2 harness
Saturday night I started having fuel pressure issues
Sunday I spent most of my time tracking the fuel pressure issue. I was getting about 20psi instead of 40. Sometimes I could get it to start and it would go back to 40psi and have no issues till I **** it off and tried to restart. I swapped in my spare LP pump and it was still occurring. Took a while to finally come to the conclusion that the spare LP I installed was bad too!!!! Lost most of the day Sunday but got back on the trail that evening. Engine starved of fuel on Daniel. I dumped what was left in my spare can (2.5 gal) into the tank and was good to go. Got to the gas station and only took 7 gallons. SO, I WAS NOT EMPTY!!! There must be some issue with the pickup in my tank. I am going to drop it and take a look.
The ring on my beadlock took a MAJOR hit and was bent like a tin can. Tire was leaking but couldn't change it because I had a f'ing stud come loose!!! Ended up using a sledge hammer to force ring back into position to seal leak. Good to go.
No issues on the way home.
This was the first trial of the 351. It is great and has tons of torque but those extra cubes bring with them much more heat. Had to manage trans and engine temps on the trail by manipulating my torque converter lockup function and the heater.
