Spray on wire wheel cleaner used to work pretty well to clean aluminum intakes.

Drew,

Check with Tripp. I remember that he used a product that I believe was called Cast Blast. I'll check in with you this weekend.

This may not qualify as post worthy, but its all I've got. The patient's heart is ready for the transplant. I also swiped a 6.0 engine cover off of the Denali Yukon outside to be installed later.

Now I'm off to a birthday party.

We had a birthday party tonight, and then homework, so no help tonight. Just me.
I carefully dropped her in, hung the wiring harness on the side of the frame, ran all the fuel lines, hooked up all of the electronics on the trans, installed the trans dipstick, and studied the front suspension a little for this weekend.

VA72C10 · 02-25-2011, 12:54 AM

Well then, where are the pics of you with the dremel

just kidding. Nice job all by yourself. I know it can be loads of fun when you've got something heavy on the hoist and trying to move it/keep it from swinging around and breaking stuff off....especially with all those wires/sensors attached...

**67cheby** · 02-25-2011, 10:08 AM

WOW.....that was FAST !! oh... and i think that looks like the perfect ride height !!

**67cheby** · 02-25-2011, 10:36 AM

**67cheby** · 02-25-2011, 11:28 AM

LOL... are you running the factory fuel pump and all so the wiring and everything will plug right up ?? i like seeing all of the factory lines that you left running back to the back

Yes, everything factory!! Part of the beauty of this build is that most everything is factory engineered 2002 GM. I want a truck that I can throw the keys to anybody and they could take a road trip. That's why the airbag system will have level sensors and defaults to ride height when you turn the key.

**67cheby** · 02-25-2011, 12:08 PM

thats sweet...doing an awesome job, keep it up

Going to be an awesome driver. Reliable, convenient, capable, fun, and really cool!

I like that

Makes going to th eparts store easier. Nothing worse than trying to remember what year model and vehicle you transplated a part from.
