So , have any of you looked under your hoods to see if your trucks have the ear mounts on you blocks .

Look for the bosses also , 2 of them on each side of front cylinder walls .

2 that are bigger around pad and larger thread .

All would not be used on 2500 and you should be able to be seen easy .

Just wondering how common these commercial blocks are or if all 05 and later have these castings .

Is this the tab your talking about Johnny?

Gasuout, Johnny?

You have a white Kodiak right? live in Santa Ana and tow for a living IIRC. I think you left a card next to my red LLY in his shop. The card had a white Kodiak towing a couple lifted 4x's on it???

I think you have stopped by my Brothers shop for one thing or another maybe to drop off a car/truck. If you wanna borrow my plasma cutter versus cutting with a sawzall, let me know. The plasma cutter is in Orange at the shop.

PM me if you like or send an email, I don't get over here often anymore.

Whats up , same guy bro .

What shop is it ....... Baja Shop , Nissan Offroad , Carli , Defiant .

Thanks for the offer , but I finished the cutting now . Did we meet ?

Take care Maxlly and thanks for offering plasma cutter .

Anyways , just finished mounts . They are done and motor is ready to go in truck , except for pulling the flywheel and doing 2 bolts into pan . And replacing all flywheel bolts . Since they are said to be one time use and Im on my 3rd this time .

Only problem , my back is out and giving me hell . Cant even stand up with out cane . Almost went to hospital last night . It is bad !

Already had some troubles with the back hurting .

Then threw my back out last week on street bike going across the front lawn all wet and did the 6000 rpm rear wheel slide out and saved it . Flat trackin the street bike at 6 am on the lawn , got one foot down before almost hitting kodiak . Men can do the splits ...... then almost high sided it and saved it . Whewww !! ...... I knew I was going to be paying for that stunt .

Should have taken a few days of down time , but kept working through heads install and all the issue and building mounts . Slupted over under motor for last 3 days fabbing and welding did me in . Paying for it now . Just sneezed and screamed . Need some vicodin ........ :cruch: Hurtin

Cant walk or even stand without cane . Its like pivoting on a ice pick down there , I think Im going to take today off , even though I need to get back at it and stick motor in truck .

Mounts came out sweet and strong as hell . Proud of them :happydance:

Major accomlishment and ready to be used and abused .

Overcame the lacking mount issue .

Nice to know that I found the motor never to use in a kodiak . hahahahaha

Never say Never ...... I'll use it .

Cut it , Grind it , Weld it , Bolt it , Run it

Need to get back to motor install , need meds .

Im not staying on my back for next week , aint going to help if I go back at it right away doing motor . So screw it take drugs and keep going .

Just need to get some , that is actually why I wanted to go to hospital .

For a prescription .

Need to numb the back up and keep going .

Mounts are Finished

Johnny, Sorry about your back :( Hope it gets better soon. If it's that bad you may have no option but laying on your back for a week.
