- Modified Alternator Bracket
- Alternator Bracket Pulley Relocation
- Remove Oil Fill Neck
- Tucked DBW Harness
- Tucked Fuel Injector Wire Harnesses
- Rerouted Heater Hoses
- Rerouted Radiator Overflow Hose
- Rerouted MAF Wire Harness
- 4" to 3.5" Silicon Elbow Attached to Throttle Body
- 3.5" Aluminum Tube w/ 15 Degree Bend - Two Foot Long Cut to Length
- 3.5" TBolt Hose Clamps (2)
- 3.5" to 3.75" Silicon Hose Adapter Modified to fit on the MAF Sensor

The 02 Still a little more to go (famous last words lol).
Relocated the coil packs as well.
Ended up reworking a set of stock valve covers after 2 different attempts of finding some aftermarket covers that would work for my set up.
The Crew Cab is in work. So is the SS for that matter. Too many projects. Sigh...

I routed them to the passenger side. The lines do a hard 90 degree turn toward the passenger side up over the AC accumulator.
I cut the heater hoses at the firewall leaving the quick connections in place and added a 90 degree elbows pointing toward the passenger side along with extra section of heater hose added in to connect to the original hose coming out of the water pump. If the worm clamps were black, you would not really notice it.
I need to redo the heater hose "system" without using worm clamps and under sized sharkbite fittings courtesy of the local Home Depot. Its held up this way for about 4 years, but it will need to be redone. The sharkbite fitting are a much smaller outside diameter than the inside diameter of the heater hose, so I cinched down of the hose more than I should. It is just now starting to show wear from doing this. More appropriate fittings should be used to splice and to route the heater hose. The next size up sharkbite fittings have an outside diameter that is too large for the inside diameter of the heater hose.

At the time, it didn't cross my mind. I was probably shopping for light bulbs or a two by four and decided to piece something together. LOL
