Ok, so my most recent question is EGR delete. Thinking this is a good thing to do while we are playing. So, looking for deletes, or will be making some in two weeks.
I think you need to do a supercharger delete then sell it to the less privelidged LC owners to the west of you !
no to the east

SC data for those interested.....
A stock truck on a 4 wheel dyno jet usually makes better 135-145hp around 185ft/lbs so you're seeing about a
177/135 = 31% increase in hp
246/185 = 33% increase in torque
Approx crank power 212*.31% = 278hp
Approx crank torque 275*33% = 366ft/lbs
When are you guys tackling this? I'd like to see/help the process.

More boxes showed up. I tore out the radiator and found a great looking match to what I pulled out.

Nice. I've been really happy with my rad from that company...and the pricing was hard to beat!
Very cool. I'm looking forward to this build.
Kelly only other thing I'm thinking about are the injectors. Are you doing anything with yours?
Can I just throw this out there: Don't Google Twin Heads

Watched the video on doing the head work and near the end they talked about putting a garden hose into the top hose of radiator and flushing out the system. Figured I would go ahead and do this now, and avoid some of the mess later. Only thing I did not think about was this artic front coming. So I have water now instead of antifreeze in the engine.
So, it was time for the two rigs to meet...
Also, I went to harbor freight and got more extensions 3/8 and a digital torque wrench adapter that the reviews on have been very high on.

Picked up the coolant from Toyota and the new nuts for Sammys fan clutch. Thanks Jon!
Just got done watching the video. Pretty much every bolt was "very hard to get to". Looking forward to it. Lots of good tips.
I hope those are wobble extensions that you bought, if not you will wish they were !

No, they have some wobble, but they are locking, which I like even more. I have wobble head sockets and some u joint pieces.
However, they are harbor freight, so they are about two minutes with a grinder away from becoming wobbles!
Half K, thanks for the help with the video, it was really nice to watch. I am going to make up a board to use that will rest on the inner structure of the fender... seems to help quite a bit.
