OK without further a due here is a long awaited update. Last update truck was at the paint shop getting a nice paint job. During that time we put together the engine with the brand new block and all new accessories. We went with an upgraded Sequoia 150amp alternator, new blue fan clutch, water pump, all new hoses, head was pressure tested and decked with new valve seals. And while we waited we ordered the next upgrade a 5 speed swap!!!

Meanwhile at the paint shop. There was lots progress until we dropped the bomb on them that we wanted a color change.

We went with the 1G3 Graphite Gray available on the 200 series. And all I can say is that it turned out amazing.
