I agree.. Grrrrrr It's taken longer for me to put together the big brake setup on my Avalanche than it did for him to completely swap drivetrains... LOL


Nicely done.. Next video better be doing a diesel powered tire obliteration

I still can't believe this. I just watched the vid again looking to see if Jody is sitting in your CCSB D-max!!

What's all left to do? Unless you haven't already done it and are actually driving around right now!

Thanks guys! It actually feels like it's taken forever, lol. I've been logging 2-3 hours per weeknight and probably 15 hours a weekend for a month and a half, so it's definitely taken some time.

Still on the to-do list:

Put on passenger fender and both fender liners
Fill up cooling system
Top off trans fluid
Bolt down body
Swap parking brake assembly from donor (cable on this one is too short with the body lift
Extend or get new body ground straps
Get new A/C accumulator
Charge A/C system
Put front end together (lights/grille/bumper/etc)
Buy and put in 9.5 axle
Put in lowering bumpstops and shocks
Fill up transfer case
Bleed brakes
Make bed body lift spacers
Put bed on
Put tail light harness and lights in
Put donor rear bumper on
Swap windshield and rear window from donor
Fix headliner gap
Have exhaust made
Have new driveshafts made

That's all I can think of at the moment...still got quite a bit of work left!
