Hey all, I really appreciate the comments, glad to know people are reading this saga. Way back in 2009 I set out to buy a commercial truck can and chassis for my ambulance box. I wanted a fully mechanical truck (no computers). I went with the International 4700 because I love the look of it. Also they sold millions of em, and parts are easily obtained. I was originally looking for a DT466, but after much reading I sort of fell in love with the underdog DT360. It is pretty much bomb proof, and most of the parts are the exact same as the 466. The first thing bought after the truck was a complete shop manual set for every system on the truck. So that is the back story, and now back to the turbo...
I used Lucas assembly fluid on the bearings, and painted the exhaust side with POR15 manifold paint. I will be installing it tomorrow.
Milk Hauler, you are never to old to back to school and learn a new skill! I think everyone of us should learn some mechanical skills so we don't have to pay so much money to keep our rigs on the road. I am still getting to know my truck and more recently the engine on a more personal level.
