I ground/cut the end of the intake pipe where the toyota maf mounted. Then I bead rolled the end so I could put a boot on it.

Pan clearance completed. Working on moving this to my lift to do the exhaust. Had to get gas for my welder to mig stainless. Im not tig Welding the entire exhaust lol. Got my intake pipe in and am just waiting on the heater control valve I ordered to finish the heater hoses. Getting very...

Yep that's it. Thanks for the link, I should have posted it

I haven't seen anyone run them but marks 4wd sells a heat shield in stainless for the driver side frame rail. I painted them black but wanted to share some bad pictures of them. Ill get better pics of the Underside when I put it on the lift soon. They seem great to block heat on the fuel...

Finished all the wiring. Got rad hoses installed. Working on heater hoses but decided to replace the heater control valve so waiting for it to come in. Flushed the heater core with wasnt very dirty so that's good. Got oil in the AC and sealed it up. Ordered intake tubing to install the MAF...

Kinda off topic but after this thing has been sitting now a year it seems the grease in the birf is separated and leaking? Its not gear oil. I didn't know grease would separate this much. I rebuilt the birfs 2 years ago and they have maybe 5k miles on them. Anyone ever have this? I wiped it...

Also ordered the driveshaft (2"), full exhaust with cats because I heard un plugged LSs stink. Got more wiring done. Just finishing up the starter wire to battery and moving all the starter wires. The harness puts them at the back of the block and its to close to the manifold so im routing...

If anyone wants it, here is the diagram I drew up for the towhaul switch using the toyota plug for the pwr/2nd switch. All you need is the signal to the GM ecu. Got a new 3D printer so need to work out some bugs. I could have done better packaging it but....it will work (should work lol) and...

Got it. Tow haul switch will work and light the PWR button and reset after key is turned off.

Got interior all wired up except one wire...the tow haul trigger. I have a complex plan but I think I can get the PWR light to illuminate when triggered with a momentary and also have it reset to off when power is cycled to match the ECU status for tow haul. I have the underhood all wired...

Quick update; for the tachometer im going to solder a jumper wire in the cluster and ditch the dakota box. Thanks Neverfinis for the rabbit hole lol. I like simplicity so this is a way better solution. I having been steady wiring this thing. I enjoy wiring but this is even to much for me...

Ok ill check it out. Thanks!

I thought it was needed for the tachometer signal? I also read somewhere (after buying it) that you can change something in the tune and it would work without?

What do you guys think...should I mount both dakota boxes under the center console? Seems like enough room since the glove box area is tight already and I won't have to worry about my wife kicking the wires out of the boxes lol.
