Fed Ex is horrible. My mid pipe was supposed to be here Wednesday and when I checked the tracking it then changed to today. Well now I check and it's changed to tomorrow. It sat in Charlotte to 2 ******* days...

Meanwhile my truck is up on jackstands and I have no vehicle while the wife is at work. [emoji34][emoji35]

From what I read it’s some kind of weird shift pattern we’re it’ll skip 2nd WOT. I could’ve of misunderstood. But he has a different trans.

Yeah it'd be a dream to have 4.10s and a 5-spd to get over these hills without hitting 3rd gear. But I have zero complaints with this 4-spd besides not enough gears lol

Here's my build sheet, I'm not sure when they decided to drop these RLEs into trucks with V6's but it'll do until I get the urge to spend money on a new trans and a computer flash

It's out. Continuing tomorrow. So far, the recirculation and blend doors seem fine. Well, the recirculation door WAS fine until I went and pushed on it and broke it off. Guess that's what I get, haha.

Oh well. I've got the replacements!

About to pull the trigger on some HIDs. Any recommendations? Also, will I still have my daytime running lights with the HID kit?

Ordered a new fuel pump today. Hopefully this will finally fix my issues.

Bench test it before install, you probably knew that already lol.
I will. I'm at wits end at this point. If this doesn't fix it I'm getting rid of it.

Yesterday I got the second coat of bed liner on my bumper so I feel a lot better about the thickness and its durability against Unidentified Flying Objects. Also while I was on that I took the headlights out and took some (a lot, actually) elbow grease and PlastX to the lens. It wasn't a "haze" but more of the spray-on clearcoat didn't have a smooth finish so the lights looked fogged. Anyways, I spent hours finishing that up and I eventually ran out of time to get it perfect, or take pictures, cuz I had to get to a movie date on time lol but I have 1 picture showing a comparison of how much better these lights look

They aren't perfectly clear but the light output is a night-and-day difference. One day soon I might hit it again with more compound to smooth out some small parts I missed but overall really happy with the end result
