I was expecting a lot more wires due to the EPS and Spal fan but it really was not bad. Engine bay is not too busy. I think all that’s left under here is the winch when I install it.

@spazzyfry123 and I were just talking about the winch yesterday. I promise not to get Mustard too muddy.
I say the 80 is more than qualified for mud duty to keep Mustard on Beautimous Patrol.
PS: Exhaust Warlock needs a raise. Does he accept argon?

One thing that’s been in the secret stack of stuff finally made it into the truck this afternoon.
I popped the old cluster out and found a nice little hello from my buddy @thecrazygreek …. He loves him some scotch locks…..
Installed this beauty
The cable is just long enough to allow the box to be mounted on the passenger firewall.
I’ve got all of the wires placed but they will need to be shortened and hooked in next time I work on it.
The Dakota uses a digital signal for the speedo. This is the pigtail.
Last shot of the engine bay for the day. Very pleased with how it turned out

Scotchloks are the 
I wasn't lying when I said I got a wild hair and put it up for sale... Lockwood came in first place, and it went so fast I thought well s***... Then I thought, just let it go...
I didn't touch it, nor think I would be publicly flogged for my taste in ACE HARDWARE Home Electrical kits.
But at least the public embarrassment will make sure that next time I upgrade to the HOME DEPOT version...

You have been the best sport. I thought I was done with it though……I wasn't lying when I said I got a wild hair and put it up for sale... Lockwood came in first place, and it went so fast I thought well s***... Then I thought, just let it go...

Heater core came in so the fresh box is all rebuilt and ready to bolt in.
Crazy wizard guy tested out the Miller 211 he made me buy
He’s making the exhaust hangers now.
He made these custom out of a flat sheet of stainless

I am not a fan of bright colors under a truck. It’s just exhaust isolators though so
Cheers

That is a sniper correct? I’m not used to seeing the silver ones if so…
It’s a Sniper 2GC. Rochester clone.
The point of this model is to mate the air cleaner direct to the throat of the Sniper versus using one adapter below and one above with an offset post to secure the OEM air cleaner.
It’s still in the Mosley Motors experimental stage.
2300 comes in Gold, Silver and Black
2GC just Gold and Silver
I’m curious as to why the adapter is 2 pieces?
