its all about balance in the end. well that and how big your b*lls are. waters safe if done correctly built a homemade unit with a low tank warning ( runs window washer fluid, shurflo pump , nos fogger tip which is wet version so converted to dual stage water based on boost pressure...etc). but anyways not the forum or thread for this lol sorry man cheers, jesse it is a gen v s/c you said? if you ever decided to depart with it let me know can always use one for a solid port job and snout milling :)

haha good to know man sorry I'm gung ho for my 3800 now lol

that 3800 you are using what did you end up with? Did you try for the s/c 3800? if power is what you want you are better off getting a reg 3800 and depending on whether its series 2 or 3 mate a gen iv or gen v s/c to it. It will give you a slighlty higher c/r with the none s/c engine. The series 2 would probably suit better as parts are easy to come by for relativaly cheap, and the series 3 unfortunatly is lightly on the pricey side. keep us updated id like to see where you end up. (ps. you do know that the sc on these engines is actually just a positive displacement blower which are inefficient when they are out of there operating range).

yeah I dropped the money for the seals and gaskets figured do it right the first time lol. but high flow oil pump? guess not a bad idea any specific brand choices or is one high flow just as good as the next? how reliable is the elec oil pressure gauge, as I have a mech one I can install with no issues. As well the intake and head are port matched, same with the gasket, didn't think the throttle needed doing as the HO is an improvement over stock. I have also decided to not do the battery relocation since I cleaned up all my wiring and made all sorts of room I think I will put the battery back in stock location, with a new mount tho. And I have a new paint scheme coming do we have any services people on this forum?

couple more pics of the new intake, coil remount, and few other things.... tell me what you guys think

I have seen the remove the lower vents and drop the heater controls down. A local shop did it for a guy for a double din touch screen I'll see if they will email me some pics. but the cut the vents out for clearance then fabbed a block off plate. It seemed straight forward enough. I am ripping that vent out in the next week or so ill take some pics to show whats all back there. Cheers, Jesse

haha Give me some time I am working on a write up with no pics. itll takea day or two for too find my notes? are you going to add piping of any such? (easier without)

I am looking to drop my oil pan tomorrow as there is a dent and i want to take apart my oil pump and clean it anyone here done it, anything i should watch for or.... do I drop the money just to replace it? as well gasket re usable or again just spend the extra cash?

haha good call sorry ill edit that rocker gaurd not bed liner :oops: face is red. brain fart on a side note i have sprayed a bed liner in with a schultz just not whole truck...make sure you cover everything it klings like a mother.

I used some spray on stuff from Canadian Tire. I'm sure it would be cheaper at a paint shop. but i Used a schultz gun to spray it on. worked great is paintable, the first time i did it i painted my lower frame rails red (ill look for a pic). it was all straight forward but I did completly sand prime and re sand the truck. 3 layers of primer, over kill but i wanted to do it right.

Ill see what I can do I think ima scrap my rear bed seats just not feesable how in depth do you need i can rattle a no picture one off probably pretty easy pics will take longer? :cheers: Jesse

looks amazing love the color. is the bar tied in or just to the box :cheers: jesse

easy enough to do if you have a sewing machine and some time and patience. I will see about ripping a spare bucket apart for a demo.

All I can suggest is research and plan. Think of where you want to go with it in the end, Be that a simple install or a complete axle upgrade. Be aware of worst case scenario when doing something and just don't give up. a fixed cost is not always a fixed cost ;) As has been stated the people on this forum seem more then willing to help I have floated here for a long time never getting a membership till recently. I have never seen anything but help (sometimes the oddball moments) from these guys and applaud there attitude. Cheers, jesse Edit: haha good catch I missed that lol it is a statement tho

old: old: not quite done: not quite done: my soon to be custom front emblem...the last part is Winnipeg (my city) and it will be centered underneath custom truck: Tell me what you think all wires were soldered (the right way to the tees) and either removed completely to the connectors if unused or re run and tapped. All the fan relays asm is removed will be putting in dual slim elec fans on a custom temp relay and dual switches. The coil and relay have been moved to just above the firewall, the coil will be beside the relays on an aluminum mounting plate which needs to be polished. the map sensor mount has been polished but not put on in the pics.
