Yeah i have to try and get all the stuff i can before the baby comes.
in the last month i have done:
all new suspension front and back
new brakes and rotors front and back
New Hankook tires
new oil pump and timing chain
fixed exhaust leak
new console lid (mine was cracked)
New front bumper and bumper cover
new clear headlights and turns
4500k HIDs in lows and fogs
i gotta say the truck is alot better to drive, it rides soooo smooth and it is quiet.
no flooding where i am at, just a light constant rain.

I finally moved my wideband gauge to the useless cubby hole and added a oil temp gauge. I still need to fiberglass it into place but for now this will work. So i am running a total of 6 gauges. Wideband, Exhaust temp, fuel pressure, boost/vacuum, oil temp and an aeroforce. The aeroforce is mounted in the airbag cubby hole. I also have led lights for when the meth triggers, 2nd fuel pump triggers and low meth. Someday i will swap out the innovate gauge for an autometer so they all match.
Next up is the temp turbo feed/oil temp adapter. I want to see what the oil temp is prior to installing the cooler.
This is the new oil cooler adapter. It has spots for the sensor, which is pre-cooler and a turbo feed spot that is post cooler.
This is the oil cooler. It is 11 row and measures 2x4x14

I'm interested to see what the oil temp is getting to without the cooler. That looks like a pretty nice cooler btw. Are you running -6 to the cooler?

similar kits for CTSVs, corvettes and new camaro come with a -10.... I am curious to see what it does with the oil pressure... If it drops it any, i will just swap in the high pressure spring into my HV melling oil pump. I
