Tracked your converter and UPS has it scheduled to be delivered today, but with a weather exception. Last update was on Tuesday. Hopefully it is in CA and you will see it today.

and i was just about to call you for a tracking number. i think the weather issue is east coast. UPS shows its still not in cali so i wont get it today. probably not until monday.

the just removed the scheduled delivery down and its not available so its not happening any time soon.

i just checked the weather on Monday the 3rd. it was 52 degrees and partly cloudy. WTF recent weather have you guys had that could delay a UPS truck. if you read the notes after they picked up the package from your shop it took almost 12 hours to get it "recovered" and 15 hours to get it out the UPS facility in houston after it was recovered. this is weird.

how are you guys modifying your trans lines to work on this swap? did i quick search and all i see are guys buying and building their own or buying lines from the dealer. my buddy has a truck he parted out after it was stolen. thinking of using his lines. what do you guys think?

We had a bad ice storm here in TX early this week and it screwed up lots of packages I was receiving for my tech business, more then I expected.

I would at least bypass the radiator, that will help with the cooling tremendously.

Also you should think about adding a larger cooler. If not you need a way to monitor the temp, if you drive anything like me the way its setup you will overheat the trans on a hot day.

will that be enough to cool it? i thought if i bypassed the radiator i would be increasing the heat by not having enough cooling surface to work with. then again i have been known to not think things through. ask my ex wife.
