It's been a year now and the engine is still running strong.
No major hiccups at all. At least not with the engine. Other things have needed attention, but all easily repaired and have managed to keep the truck on the road with little to no engine maintainance other than oil, oil filter, and air filters.

Thanks again to the Stovebolt Crew for all the help
