Insulated my low side (cold) a/c lines and dryer with pipe wrap to keep the head off them. We'll see if it works in a month or so. lol

Lol. You wrap your ac lines in the summer heat and we stick cardboard between the grille and radiator in the dead of winter.

Most don't, but I found out that the lines can be susceptible to excess engine bay heat when I had my catch can hanging off one of the lines at one point. The heat from the can was affecting my outlet temperatures enough to make me notice.

Toasted the trans on the last off road run. Think the pump is clogged or broke. So I gotta pull the trans and put in a new one. It sucks.

Yeah I guess so lol No not going that big. If I'm getting an awesome trans its goin in the diesel haha I'm not sure where the vent lines are but from the lines I found so far they should have been above the water line. But I'll see when I can get it all out.

Awww, MegaViper would be awesome for your off road truck. :D

The vent line is literally sitting on top of the transmission IIRC.

Planned on plastidipping trim, handles, mirrors, and grille but I've postponed that. I did pull off the 3rd Brake/Cargo Light. Anyone have any recommendations for aftermarkets?
