A 2007 CL. Man, sure would love to see a picture of that yruck on here..

We had a 2007 CL glider kit with a 1995 427 18 speed mack and 4.30 rockwell double lockers on air. Pulled a centermount loader log trailer . It had the blixxton and hopped up injectors and a stock turbo it would go real good. My 2022 western star with a 565 X15 wouldnt pull out of site of it

I use two pizza stones on my gas grill, all burners on high and it works great.

You have it up on 1 as well.. Luv it.

One down.....five to go... Bam! 6 in and still turns freely. No problems, even doing it by myself. I used a double folded piece of cardboard as a "safety* on the journal. Never needed it. They went in smooth and controlled. I could reach under with one hand and control the rod end while tapping piston with deadblow. I just snugged bolts, will torque this weekend and get oil pump installed. Buddy would have helped but space is a premium and having to walk around each other would have made it harder then it needed to be.

On your push / pull cables have you tried to take them out of the truck, coil them up in a coffee can and filled it with your favorite Panther Pi$$?????? And let set a week or so. They may be just rusted internally???? After you get them free add some graphite lube???

A fun task 🤗 looks great though

In case you haven't already put things back together, I would strongly suggest that you put the vent window in first. It might be possible to put it in after, but I bet it wouldn't be fun.

Clark Brothers still sell a lot of cables for your speedometer or tach. Their prices have gone way up like everything else. I often get their parts NOS on ebay. Here is a link to Clark Brothers catalog: Unknown I hope that works. I do not know anyone who restores push-pull cables, but I have some old Mack cables that might be of help if you don't mind used parts.

And a good excuse for keeping it inside out of North Carolina's salt and brine!!! I hope you and your family survive this weekend. Was just out and there is some wind blowing, just enough to push the chill thru you.. Have the kitchen faucets dripping.

A cold winter day here in the mountains,, a friend of mine came over and we’re trying to finish up all the polishing, we have definitely transferred the black from the fenders to us !

No worries, I will make sure it can't fall and damage anything.

Allegedly, Netanyahu asked President Trump to not launch military strikes against Iran over fears Iran would retaliate against Israel. I humbly suggest the US can't make a decision based on that. We give Israel billions in aid money annually and they are well equipped to defend themselves (iron dome, ect.). The US needs to take care of business and Netanyahu must respect and support that. After all we've done for them....despite the USS Liberty.................. And after all, with the termination of the current regime, a free and democratic Iran would be in Israel's best interest.

yes to the 45 degree twist coming out. keep in mind when you install the pistons the oil on the rings (which is needed) also allows that heavy piston/rod combo to slide all the way down til it hits something. IE: crank journal or piston cooling tube.. A helper who can catch the rod on its way down may be needed.

Actions speaking louder than words, the US just captured its sixth "shadow fleet" tanker. It's good real-world practice for our elite. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15467311/Dramatic-moment-US-forces-storm-oil-tanker-Trump-plays-kingmaker-Venezuela.html

The book shows how you twist the rod 45* to clear squirter, then straighten to get to crank journal. Doable. I can see not having the squirter in the way would be easier. I'm not pulling them as I am not working in a chassis so I have all the room to work just standing next to the block. I may check alignment after install to confirm my intuition is correct on my alignment check.
