With the Holidays well done, I have had time to get back in to the garage. My dead line to have everything ready to fire is Feb 2nd. My buddy that is going to flash my ECM has nothing going on that day, and that gives me 2 saturdays to finish up good enough to run!

So far my wires are all ran to the engine, have a few power wires to tidy up, and a radiator to swap out. 01 radiator from the C2500 works fine but the filler tank won't clear the hood, so Im getting another radiator this weekend.

I made my own exhaust pipes, didn't get the best picture, but you can kinda see them.
I am going to run a cluster from a 90 sub, check out my tow haul indicator!
Enjoy.

Good job!

Honestly, It felt right. The truck just felt SO good going down the road and back. Its been sitting for about 2 years with no engine/tranny in it. But it felt like I had just parked it in the garage the night before. Can't wait to log some miles on it when the weather breaks! ( aka salts all washed away )

Yup, my spread sheet is a start from Compressor Surge's spread sheet. He paved the way for me!
