how cold does it get where you live ryan??????????

 

sorry I missed your question above. It depends, this truck has seen wind chill temps -10 below and probably regular temps at 0 degs.

 

How much did the Black Lab mod cost you?

 

which one? Real dog or ball hitch cover? The real one eats us out of house and home.

Here is a shot of the rear lights (recon tail light bar and LED reverse lights) and how far it illuminates

ahh thats not bad, was gonna say if you had extreme cold like up here its not a good idea to route the pcv lines in a flat position like that. i learnt that lesson doing pcv re-route, its better to keep them in a more vertical position if you can. But -10 below aint bad, i had problems at -35 to -40 with condensation collecting in the horizontal sections of the lines and freezing. eventually froze right over, popped dipstick and puke oil everywhere. then the second time it did it pushed 5-6 litres of oil out the exhaust thru the turbos LOLOL

 

im lucky i didnt blow a main seal.

Nice clean truck with a good attention to detail! And the engine is clean as a whistle (oil wise), impressive.

After draining mine after 1500 miles I am a believer. Caught about an ounce

Remember Jon, your under hood lighting is my job. We will reflect red off that blower

Don't get excited big fella. I'm just curious if Ryan mounted in the spot I was considering and how he ran the wires and switched them. I'll definitely do red for show and white for function.

Well for some reason I can't post pics from my PC and I think that's where the photos are currently. Never mind I pulled them back over to my phone

Looks good Ryan. Im thinking about the 2 inch recess just in front of(closed) or above(open) the hood insulator panel. Angled pretty well for both the function aspect as well as a red strip to pop off of the supercharger...

[RyanbabZ71]

I put 2 strips in my camaro
