Fourteen Inch Morale Officer?

In 2016, a crack commando unit was sent to kitty jail by a moderator for a post they didn't submit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security paywall to the Nebraska underground. Today, still wanted by the administration, they survive as mechanics of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The Truck-Team.

Ideally we should have two divergent threads of 14 AT HOME and 14 AWAY MISSION.

I was intentionally trying to keep Seattle in one thread and the Truck of Longinus in the other, aside from the work being done to the Honda to get there and other unavoidable cross pollination. That way when this thing goes absolutely, irredeemably tits up I have minimal cleanup to do to pretend none of this ever happeed :v:

We're not sure exactly what broke casuality - what event shattered time itself like a sparkplug through safety glass. All we know for sure is that one moment, a fool and a flat-rate mechanic laid hands on the Truck, and the next, causes and effects weren't connected anymore.

The Terrible nightmares I've been having all make sense now. They were the earthquake before the tidal wave. All was foretold, and they will but pale before the nightmares yet to come.

Is there a possibility of a plot twist, where 14 shows up after you've left to finish up and drive it home?

You've got the van there, so it qualifies as shelter. He can get that thing running, I have faith in that.

Id also like to point out that while Im sure it was posted here and I missed it, i thought the dump truck was a "dump" truck stake bed. For anyone else who missed it, it's a hydraulic actuated actual loving dump bed with intact components and is the current side quest to restore functionality because MOTHER loving DUMP TRUCK YO

Secondary side quest is seeeing if van cluster wiring can be adapted onto combination gauge from truck to give actual engine readouts of current operating conditions via OEM gauges.

The engine ran well enough in the van to get Sims to the truck. Rest of the powertrain is big dumb tractor parts, a not insignificant amount of it is brand new iron that Sims has been stockpiling through the planning phase, also did you loving see what 14" and the Jeep did to get to Nebraska?

Re: the pump, what's in there is probably half water and half spiders due to lovely crusty foam breathers being common, if not check the breather and flush with a jug of Dex2/3 (because it's got a better shot at freeing the probably stuck pistons) and a pail or 6 of regular modern whatever the farm supply store has cheapest hydraulic oil (because it's cheap). Everything will leak. Don't go near a leak that has pressure behind it because gangrene but you knew that already. And a quick visual on the hoses, it's pretty obvious when they're rotten.

It's got actual oil of some form coming out of the input shaft seal, so itll need a re seal Id wager. Didnt start leaking until I removed the mud seal. Dex 2? Hahahahaha good luck finding whale oil friction modifier. Will be getting full driveshaft to Napa for a quote on new ?U joints ffront to rear.

I have proven my skills. Package will be delivered intact to Florida. First few days have been slow going as my body recuperated from what I demanded of it to get here.
