Hey Guys,

I'm interested as well, seeing how I'm running the Range AFM Disable as well as an UPR catch can with clean side separator.

All of the peaks around me got a good coat of white Sunday afternoon/evening.  They're about to get some more in the next few days.  Wrightwood went from patchy snow, to COVERED in snow.  Forecast shows that we're going to get some down here on the valley floor.

Got these in the mail today. I’ll paint the surround like I did on my lights now and I’m trying to talk the wife into letting me retrofit them with some Morimoto md2s 5.0’s. I want some laser beams. Lol!

Doing quads or just replacing tops? Dummy down below in that case? You're gonna love a retro!

Been a while since posting here since I barely get any time to myself these days :)

- Picked up an embossed grille and stole the upper trim off of it. Retrofitted it into my grille.

- Got my headlights back on. Got the corners cleared with Klearz (courtesy of Crisp GM Customs).

- Testing out these aftermarket DL3 Mirrors. They support power fold and memory (just like the factory DL3s)

- Handles are now switchbacks (courtesy of Crisp GM Customs)

- Truck got a bath (LOL) - so neglected.

UPR Catch Can, Borla Catback Exhaust, and new NavTV - GM650, and Redline Emblems are next on the list to be installed - IF I can get a free day.

Just swapping the projectors. I’ll keep the halogen highs in there. Probably do the 9011 hir1 swap for those.

Those mirrors have turn signals in them too?

Phil, this looks SO good!  Is there a thread on the door handles?  I think that's my new "wish" list item? Link for doing that as well from the vendor?  Gorgeous truck!

Just search illuminated door handles, and it pops right up! :)

I did a video of how I initially got them hooked up here.

Not in the glass. This is how they were wired up out of the box. Since my door handles are white running lights, I didn’t want to have amber running lights on the mirrors, so I made them all behave as a turn signal and flash amber like the handles and front headlight. Keeping the same lighting profile.

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
