I sent a message to have them try that and I got a call that it was running. Apparently they just didn't try hard enough the first time. I'm headed over there now to hear it run.

I'll tell them, thanks.

I stopped by the shop today to drop off the custom brackets to relocate the FFM. They had everything hooked up and were trying to get it to fire, but couldn't get fuel to the injectors. I figured it would be a hard start with everything new. New IP, new FFM, new injectors and new injector...

The original manifold or the custom one?

Here's a pic of 3 upper intakes. Left to right are: standard, motorhome (Workhorse chassis) and the supplied (from Peninsular) rear mounted turbo upper intake. Note: there is no place to mount the IAT or booster pressure sensors on the Peninsular one. Looks like I need to do some fabrication.

Yes, I have the headers wrapped and I have a turbo blanket too. When they get the down pipe finished, I will wrap that also. It looks like they had to trim some more of the floor to clear the 3 1/2in elbow coming out of the turbo.

The wheels of progress are turning slowly, but turning. The latest is that they found leaks in the AC pump/compressor. They also have the exhaust mocked up, so now they can reroute the wires and FFM that were displaced by the relocated turbo/exhaust. Still looks like there is a lot to do yet...

Yes, that is the CS144. I thought it was supposed to be plug and play, but we needed to get a different plug end and splice it in.

The engine is in. :) They are now hooking up all the stuff. I reminded them to ensure the grounds are connected properly. When they get the headers on, they'll mount the turbo to see if the floor will need to be trimmed for clearance, because of the rear mounted turbo vs side mount. (although...

Progress :) Visited the shop today. Got a photo of the engine/transmission. As I was there they were getting ready to lift the engine into the pit. I'm thinking that by the end of the day, the engine will be in place. Then to hook up everything and fabricate a new 4in exhaust.

Here's what I found yesterday. Here's what I did. I've had good luck with these in my motorhome.

OK, oil then.

Maybe they missed reconnecting some grounds, too.

Yesterday, I received an email from my installer. They said that the engine and transmission have been put together, along with many other parts in preparation for possibly completing the project next week. Here's a list of parts I had them install: New P400 Remanufactured transmission New...

Or?

I stopped by the shop yesterday and the transmission was there. They were starting the reassembly process too. :)

The oil cooler lines arrived today. :D

My original transmission was picked up on Tuesday to be remanufactured. I received an email today from Certified Transmissions to tell me it was ready and also to send the invoice. It's paid for and I hoping to see it next week. I also received notice that Leroy is sending my oil cooler lines...

I stopped by the shop today to make sure they had the transmission ready to be picked up tomorrow and to get the exact mileage on the motorhome for the transmission people for warranty purposes. I also took a picture of the empty engine bay.

Update. I received the refund for the wrong transmission from peninsular. I spoke with Certified Transmissions and they will be sending a truck to pick up my transmission this Monday/Tuesday, to be remanufactured into what the call the Road Ripper 2000 and then return it. They said it would be...
