I would like the see the pimp tires and wheels and fan bracket.

O yeah congrats on being a future grand dad.

You didn't tell me your daughter was expecting!! Getting a couple additions to the family eh? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Here are the pics I promised a month ago. I've been busy. And sick. Sue me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The deer damage fixed. Don't have any other pics of the damage except for on my cell phone. I have no idea how to get them uploaded to PB, so repaired pics will have to do...



Made a permanent mount for the auxiliary-auxiliary trans cooler.



Did the lower part with bedliner. Only have one side done, may get the P/S done this weekend.



The whole thing.



140 Amp GM CS144 alternator mounted and working perfect.



Full shot of the engine bay.



Fan controller and the relays to operate the LED headlights.



8274 Winch mount. Still playing with bumper ideas to build off of it.




My buddy with the plasma table that cut it all out surprised me with the Mitsu diamonds. I thought it was cute...

I've got almost 5k miles on it since the rebuild. I've done a couple oil changes and settled on 15W40 Delo and a quart of Lucas with an OE Mitsu filter. I like the way it sounds, zero valve train noise even on cold startup in subfreezing temps. The fuel economy has been getting better as the engine continues the breakin process. So far, it's up to 13.82 mpg and if it stays there, I'll be quite pleased.

Thanks for everybody's suppport thru this ordeal. It's been a learning experience, fer shur... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

The only unresolved issue is the timing ground plug. It will melt whatever I use to ground it to set the base timing. I mean, literally, melt it... Anybody got any ideas on that one? I've done the timing by ear & feel (ie listening for ping...) so I'm not terribly concerned about the timing itself. But, I would like it to be righter than it is. And I got this fancy ass timing light I can't frickin use... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

On the timing connector, that should be the white/yellow stripe wire in a two wire connector, only one position occupied, and it connects to nothing but the ecu. There are some other connectors near there, but nothing that should be natively unconnected.

I'd push your like button.


<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> That looks great! Glad to see some pictures of those new tires!
