Well, I'm still here, I visit daily to read and learn.

Since my initial "build post" these things have changed:

Aluminum radiator (ebay special)

180* t-stat

replaced stock dash speakers with wal-mart cheapies (they sound better than rotten foam surrounds and paper cones)

replaced stock am/fm with some kinda cheap cd player (there's metal in the truck now, time to raise hell...er, well lower it anyway)

5" autometer 9k tach (I suspect it'll see 7k or so by the time I'm done)

In the VERY near future, replacing the intake (mines fubar after breaking a t-stat housing bolt, aluminum is softer than steel, and this bolt was apparently tougher than me AND 3 sets of easy-outs, AND about 6 cobalt/titanium drill bits. Chuck Norris must've forged it,then installed it)

Also ordering some egr block offs from LCE (I currently have no garage, and my neighbors get pissy if I do metal fab in the apartment )

I swear, as soon as I get the intake in (not installed, just at the house) pics will follow....several of them.

 

dedication! lol, will wait to hear from you! good luck and have fun!
