I'm most likely going to get the Hoe repainted one of these days...maybe I'll have all the chrome color matched

Thanks brother, I still need to gut the entire interior, the carpet repulses me...it sucks taking things apart during the summer. I'll just take my time and wait for a nice cool day

Lol, I saw that on ch 7. Dumbasses need to learn what a siren sounds like! Idiots! Did you see it was still in gear and started to roll? Lol

 

[Tonyrodz]

You gonna swap out the steering wheel too?

Just began the cleaning process on the intake manifold...I poured 2 gallons of simple green and 3 gallons of distilled water into a 5 gallon tire tube test tank and will let it sit for 24 hours to get the initial crud removed

I bought an additional 3 gallons of simple green along with 2 more gallons of distilled water and some toilet brushes to do the final cleaning hopefully this weekend if I can get off from work. Hopefully in the next week or 2 I can install the intake manifold, knock sensors and a few other parts to get the Hoe running great again

I didn't get to see channel 7, my buddy texted me about it

I figure everything else I replaced on the engine is brand new, might as well clean it up as well

Yea I want to swap the steering wheel and the shifter as well..is it hard to swap out? haven't really done any research how to remove it yet

 

[Cattivo]

Finally got the Hoe to pass inspection!!! Who says miracles don't happen lol...first stage of cleaning the intake manifold is done, just waiting for the simple green and toilet brush to get here to get it spotless

Both are easy. Steering wheel just need to borrow a puller from some place like O'Reiley's after pulling the airbag. The shifter has a torx screw that's got Loctite on it; I used a 1/4" ratchet with the right size torx bit, forget what size it is.

I'll see if the mechanic that services our rigs has a puller I can borrow...the shifter looked like it had some wiring attached to it going into the steering column, I'll have to remove it and see this weekend.

Thanks for the heads up brother

The tow/haul button wires have a connector inside the plastic of the column. That's the wires you see.

Wasn't exactly sure what they were for, that makes sense...thanks again
