Frustrating but you CAN NOT use Tundra mirrors. I read this as, you know "100% sure" so I rolled the dice on some ebay tundra mirrors and the mounting base is totally different. Not even close. Hopefully this saves someone else the restocking fee and hassle of trying this as well.

^^^ this guy figured it out I think; I would try the cluster resistor bypass if nothing else is working. If that doesn't do and everything else is 100% I'd start wondering if I fried my tach trying stuff.

Hey, sorry I'm not on here much. If you have an earlier than e38 ECM (2005 or earlier I believe) you have to get the Dakota working. I can probably help there too but I'd have to know more... If you're running an E38 or E67 there are a few things you must do (this is to run your tach without...

Also I was trying to figure out the tachometer with an E38 situation. I broke down and bought a dakota digital- but figured I'd try one more thing and it worked! I got a tach without the DD SGI-100. I think HP tuners or EFI Live is required for this, but if you're buying an ECU your...

I managed to sneak mine under the Driveline, right at the u joint. I thought the joint would get hotter than it does, seems ok. I'll have to remove the y pipe to pull the trans pan but I'm ok with that. I added a catalyst after the merge and the thing blows 0s on the sniffer. Sounds great...

I managed to save the tractor filter and even the dust separator these trucks have stock, but with full 4" inlet and outlet. I did have to trim the ribs on the hood a bit but could have probably just hammered it down a bit in hindsight. The hood didn't turn into a limp noodle so that's good lol

I took a video of my setup mid wiring, may help some folks getting started: Video Link.

Basically the damn tip is now too big to come past the threads; if you can get it to thread out sometimes that works. It depends on how much it was cranked on long ago lol

It's been overflared/overtightened... Can be a pita. Also not sure if it's worth the $175 but Drew makes a bracket to mount the P pump (you have) instead of the camaro pump. Money spent well imo, american company that makes cool stuff that is all very well engineered!

I just use like 60 or 80 grit silica from Ace hardware. I guess the idea is the wet process is safe(r) but I still use a N95 respirator. There is no dust but it is a very nasty process... Edit, my build is looking a lot like yours, Hmm, what about.... DELETE!

I have a pressure washer/sand blaster adapter. (<click for link if I did it right lol)

lol, no I haven't started it yet. I'll be sure to smash it to the floor, but hopefully not through road rage? This Cerakote c series laid down nicer than just about anything I have sprayed! We'll see how it holds up in time...

Has anyone been able to fit a double cardan/cv front shaft with marks and a 4l80e? I had one before the swap and it hits the 4l80e pan with the transfer in the stock location... I only have a 2" lift. Just to contribute, a cadillac cts v throttle and bracket and a 3/8 aluminum transfer...

Yes that is the bracket I used. It's a c5/c6 power steering pump and the pulley is General Motors 12568997... The pulley is larger than goatbuilt intended, and I'm not sure how it will work (if it will reduce power too much). The belt was kind of a pain to size and is a K060882. PSC has some...

Goatbuilt p/s bracket with a cbr pump worked great. Here's a video with more detail if interested
