OK, last of the stuff showed up today, 2-12" fans, New PS resevoir, and the new wiring harness. $300.00 for a driveshaft, and thats the last thing needed to make it go........I think.

Cooling fans are in, fuel pump is wired, brakes are bled, Nitrous is plumbed. Plumbing for the radiator, and figuring out the Freakin FICM and PCM wiring. Were there folks.

The first pic is of the extra wires in the trash from the harness that goes from the PCM to the Fuse box. Those are the ones I don't need.


This is the under dash harness, getting rid of all of the excess. Going through it wire by wire. Its tedious as hell. Radio, ac blower, cruise, airbags, etc....

Well bled the brakes tonight, and finished removing most of the useless stuff from the wiring harness. Also checked the fuel lines and brake lines for leaks. There are none in either I am happy to report.

OK, I'm gonna show off a little. Here is the tow vehicle. Its been a while since I paid any attention to the ole girl, and I have been thinking lately about a new truck. I washed it today, cleaned it inside and out, top to bottom, and decided, there is no F'n way I am gonna get rid of this truck. Runs like a scalded dog, 581 HP and 999 Tq on Dunbar's dyno, looks new, and has been paid off for 2 1/2 years. Felt like showin off.
