I see you are running the factory trans cooler , have you or has Mike said anything about needing to upgrade that ? Or just if you were a heavy tower ,
I remember mike was making one to sell , and other guys were running a setrab unit , it's one thing I never did on mine that I felt I should have .
He didn't say anything about it when I had him build the trans, so I'm assuming he didn't think it needed it since it's lighter weight and won't see a trailer. Hottest I ever saw it in stop and go traffic this past summer was about 220, and that was when it was 115 outside.

I just left that one side out, started a bolt in and everything seemed to align ok. I don't think it's critical to have like a cylinder head alignment dowel would be.

Got the front end back together and moved to the inside to start on the gauges.

This overhead gauge pod is decent, I'm not thrilled with the mounting system though, it's just double stick tape on the windshield. I didn't get it perfect and it sags in the front, so I'm going to try to use the mirror to hold the front end up.

Only pic I found on a quick search. Hahaha

BTW i like your gauges. I wish autometer would make the factory match stuff for gas vehicles. For example wideband, fuel pressure, etc
