I'm ready for an engine management system, American Auto wire classic update kit to completely wire the truck, VHX gauges and Accuair air management. That's 5 grand right there but I have been working a ton of overtime so hopefully I will have everything in the next few weeks.

I recently finished up my trans cooler hard lines. My convertor should flash to 3600 so I also wanted to plumb in an auxilary cooler to control the heat.




Like I mentioned the other day, I ended up changing my rear notch brace so I could move my rear bags inboard. I got the lower mounts set up this weekend and got them welded in. Rear end is painted and back under the chassis.



And lastly, I finished up the Vintage Air install. Everything inside of the cab is installed and wired. I still need to make my lines from the firewall forward and wire the trinary switch but I plan to wait on that until I have the cab and inner fenders installed so I know how I want to route everything.



I really hope to have some substantial updates really soon. My goal of wanting to test fire the engine by Memorial Day is still possible but I may need a miracle to make it happen.
