Going to try this stainless flex radiator hose out.
Considering going to aluminum exhaust from this point on.
Ordered my eyebrow mouldinga and my front bumper filler panel last night. She's coming together nicely. Just need more time in the day.

Progress slowed some, had a rough go of it with daily drivers the last two weeks. My 03 cummins shelled something in the trans Friday, Saturday we went on a 6 hour trip to the see the big zoo, lost 3-4 (gasp wut) in the 60e on my wife's avalanche. Drove 3 hours home in 2nd gear @4500 rpm. Wife stRted driving the tdi Jetta Monday and Tuesday the radiator exploded. So what and the hell! Spent today doing some osha approved activities involving on of my rollover Tahoe part outs.
Got a vasectomy Friday, tried to be productive in the house. Built my fuse block, rows of 6 is 12v switched, row of 2 is 12v constant. I have another set of fastronix relays to mount in the trunk for the fuel pumps. Bought a ton of real nice wire loom, going to try and keep the engine bay super clean. Pcm, fuses etc all under dash, car will also have cruise control going to mount the cruise module under the dash and hook it to the gas pedal, hopefully.
also, ordered an undercover innovations firewall shave kit, to clean things up.

after that surgery I wasn't keen on doing anything, but I gotta get this crap done. So this was the easiest route lol. For the safety peeps, it's anchored thru the a pillars with two g70 chains to a 4x4 tractor on the other side. But, it's happily laying on its side anyways lol.

Well I sure felt the same, but the wife was going to have it done or me, and I've heard that women tend to gain weight when they have it done, and we can't have that now can we

my undercover innovations firewall shave plate came in! Can't wait to get started with that.
Here is the culprit if my shelled trans and tcase. Did the shift improved hd2 kit with improved pwm on the replacement, along with switching to hytrans. Curious to see how it holds up.
