Got my new fans in. Definitely allow more airflow through the shroud. After I got them in I did a synthetic oil change with liquimoly additive. I'm at 320k miles on the odometer currently. Then I noticed my front brake hose burst just as I pulled out of the shop. I ordered all new ones.

Got a new driveshaft. Its from a 3rd gen 4runner with a double cardan joint. Had to get it shortened by about 6". Then i adjusted the upper control arms for the new pinion angle, loosened and tightened control arm bushings at the new ride height, and adjusted the lspv slightly. The new fan shroud setup seems like it might be cooling better. On my pull up the pass recently temps were 5 to 10 degrees cooler.

I haven't been real happy with my tune. It's set for premium only which is getting expensive. Also at low rpm I get some pinging. So I went to a different shop. He did a baseline run first. He was able to get me an additional 15hp and 15ftlbs. The torque also peaks at lower rpm and I can run low octane again. So far no pinging. I'm not sure why the graph doesn't show lower rpms, I'm going ask about that, it seems like the run started around 3800rpm. Also it seems he ended the run before 6k rpm for some reason. I had him set the rpm limit to 6500 this time. So far it feels better overall

I need more heat protection from the exhaust. Here is a hole melted from the heat in the little side skirt in the front fender.

Added a different oil pump spring. Using a red mahle spring with a couple washers under it now. Reworked a new oil pickup tube and modified the baffle. Baffle is now 3/8 from the bottom of the pan. Helicoiled the 2 oil pan bellhousing bolts, the threads were pretty weak. Test filling oil pan shows 4 quarts fill the sump. 6 quarts total should be good. Over 7.2quarts is getting close to the crank baffle. Painted the notched truck pan with high temp paint as it seemed to have some oxidation forming. Also ordered a allen plug for the Level sensor hole. Still need to make sure the dip stick slides in ok.

My Trans cooler lines are all soft lines all the way to the cooler. I dont want a lot of hard line because it can make servicing a pain. However I did want hard lines for the trans cooler lines as it goes under the manifold. So I bent up some lines. I also bent up some lines for my new oil cooler sender setup. My old sender was a factory gm sender with an fittings welded on. If anyone would like to purchase my old sender to add a oil cooler let me know, its still good with low miles and I've included a pic of it.
