BuddyΓÇÖs EFI Day

Post by BroncoRaider »

Buddy is going under the knife Labor Day weekend. WeΓÇÖve got a few folks coming by to help with the swap. If I havenΓÇÖt talked to you and youΓÇÖd like to come be an extra set of hands or just hang out, PM me and IΓÇÖll get you the address. Breakfast and lunch provided, meeting at 8am on Saturday the 1st.

The wife and I will be camping that weekend. If it falls through, I'll stop by to lend a hand, er...wrench. You guys picked the only weekend in September I'm unavailable!

I can't do Saturday but Sunday is as wide open as Moab Mikes girlfriends. I'm assuming you guys are working on it Sunday?

Looks like I have to sit this one out. Can any of the northern folks meet up with me tomorrow night or Saturday morning to pick up Buddy's computer and some tools?

I'm off of 80th and Sheridan, pretty far out of the way for Chris. I'm on the way for Shawn, they probably won't need the computer until Sunday anyway. But, the tools might be handy to have on Saturday so Adam might make the most sense.

Pretty sure you all have my cell number. Chris if you're up this way tomorrow night gimme a shout. Otherwise, I'm thinking Adam Saturday morning...and Shawn get's picked last, just like in gym class.

I helped out on Sunday. Things were coming along nicely. Big things on Sunday were the headers/exhaust, front dress, fan/shroud, harness around fuel rails, water overflow w/bracket, inertia switch, plugs, wires, cam sensor, a lot of harness connections, and a oil change right as I departed. Pretty cool day.
Here are some pics. Jeff was cracking up all day...
