Welp...I got a job and am shipping out again!!
It's good cuz I need the $$ but it puts me in a bit of a bind with the truck. I have made a commitment to a competition that I'm participating in that I'll have it ready by May 27th. But I won't be getting home from work until May 23rd so it gives me 3 days to get it finished and running.
It's currently still at the exhaust shop, I gave them until April 18th (which is a day that I come home to LA for a day or so) to finish it up at which point I'm gonna tow it home.

This is what's left to be finished on the truck once I get it back...

-Wire E-fans up
-Mount external Tranny cooler and power steering cooler
-Run fuel tank vent into tail lights,
-Run crank case vents to the back of truck,
-Install overflow tank and run all coolant plumbing lines.
-Wire up 2nd Fuel pump
-Install Meth tank and nozzles.
-Wire up Wide-band sensor
-Install gas cap on my remote custom tank.
-Plug in the remainder of the wiring harness
-Re-install front fender and hood
-Fill with fluids and start the truck...

We'll see what happens!!

Damn thats cutting it close! Hope you have a good tuner hand

Everything is looking good! I wouldn't run the crank case vents to the back, I could see that costing you power. That engine didn't have any untill you got ahold of it...

You thinking just vents? My valve covers have bungs welded in them that kinda prevents that. I plan on running an electric vacuume pump eventually but can't really do that right now because of time constraints.

Just shove a piece of 5/8 or 3/4 hose over the an fitting, then put a push in breather in the other end. Thats how I do it.

Thanks bud! I might take you up on your trailer offer in April when I come home for a few days, might need to tow it further than my AAA 100 mile range allows for!!
Can't wait to see your truck pounding the pavement!!

yeah anytime you need it man . as long as im not using it . im not sure if i will trailer to throwdown or drive it . may drive it and follow with the trailer just in case. getting a 2wd on the trailer is alot different than my awd . pats truck almost shot a ramp out . the winch is actually helpful even if the truck is running and driveable.

if not i have a 200 mile tow with AAA .
