After 7 weeks, we got the car back from Bullet Supercharging, after being diagnosed with a cracked piston.
0.20 oversized cast pistons, ACL bearings throughout, 4340 forged steel H beam conrods with 7/16 rod bolts, and refinished factory steel crank.
Had the extra strengthening done in preparation for Supercharging at a later date. Guys were great to deal with and have done a super job.
Now time to run it in and put some miles on it.

I did the timing belt and water pump with the Aisin kit. Unbelievable to me that I completed the job on my own without mistakes. OTRAMM I cannot thank you enough.

Replaced driver's side front CV axle and repacked the bearings while I was in there. Now I'm at least more proficient at cone washers.

Finally got around to replacing this corroded (and I think leaking) transmission fluid hose.
Cooler lower inlet:
The cooler had some odd corrosion on the bottom inlet. I’m assuming it’s just from sitting for a while? Between the corroded hose and this inlet, it makes me think there could have been water in those lines.
Didn’t take the best after photo but it’s all in there and buttoned up
If you're planning on replacing the same part, you'll want to remove the Passenger side headlight, unplug the RH airbag sensor, rotate one of the horns out of the way, and the 2 bolts holding the power steering lines. Once they're out of the way, you can get in there with some extensions to remove the hose tube assembly. I also got new clamps, the 2 bolts, and 2 hoses that attach to the cooler. Parts below. Went with McGeorge for everything, PartSouq didn't have the tube assembly in stock.
32906-60150 Tube Assembly $104.25 x1
90445-17097 Hose $22.42 x1
90445-17103 Outlet Hose $13.51 x1
90467-A0012 Transmission Oil Cooler Line Clamp $2.62 ea, x6 $15.72
91611-B0614 ABS Sensor Wire Bolt $1.08 ea, x2 $2.16

Thanks for sharing. I think pre-2003 trucks didn't get this extra cooler and that might cause the power steering fluid to degrade due to heat, ultimately causing the steering racks seals to fail!

Didn't know that. So pre 03 got the condenser fan, but no extra power steering hose cooling "loop".
Those hoses were definitely in the way for this job, though!

Yup @ClassyJalopy is correct. Pre 03 units do not have the power steering cooling loop shown below which mounts in front of the radiator.
If anyone is further curious, the only differences between the Pre 03/Post 03 power steering assemblies are different part numbers for the rack, the power steering pump, and the hoses that either connect to the loop or go directly to the reservoir. Having both Pre and Post power steering pumps on the bench last year there were some slight differences in the construction and the body shape of the pump, but both appeared to be able to bolt up with no issue. Pre 03 shown on left, Post 03 shown on right:
I could not find any information on the operating parameters of the pumps, so I stayed with the same pump as designed for my Pre 03 rack since it was brand new. I wanted to add the cooler loop, but was concerned the Post 03 pump might operate at a higher pressure to pair with the Post 03 rack and to account for the added cooler loop. It would probably be fine to add the cooler inline with the system, I just wanted to stay more OEM.

^^^ That lasted about two hours.
Got the new swing arm in today and gave it a trial fit.
First fit is very promising. It’s nearly bottomed out to the crossmember so the next step will be cutting a 2” square hole to let the shank pass through and tighten up the fit to the body. Ground clearance over my previous combo (RakAttach 1.0 & std hitch) is massively improved.
My biggest concern was the tailgate clearing the swing pin. Luckily we are good to go there. 1/2” body lift definitely helped some.

Large.
Is that just marine carpet on your dash? How do you like it? Been kicking around the idea of doing something similar

Another question, is that designed to towa trailer behind it?
If that is a cast receiver, it’s good for a bike rack… but PLEASE do not try to tow ANY kind of trailer with it…
No matter what the seller stated, I would not trust a casting to withstand the high moment of inertia that towing a trailer will impart to the casting.
Please do not tow with that.

It's extremely robust.

No.
I have a Tundra for tow duties. A bike rack will live on here 100% of the time. The cast receiver is only going to serve as a test mule, I'm going to make my own welded unit once I figure out the correct dimensions.
