    We, the collective, disagree. Because of your build, I'm still regretting not purchasing a quick ratio steering gear and u-bolt flip kit. :D

    Odyssey Extreme ODP-AGM 78 (800 CCA). If you are replacing your battery and desire to also replace the battery hold down retainer, do not replace it with GM part number 84109393 (i.e., the part specified by GM). It is too deep and tall. I chose to reuse the original battery hold down retainer...

    I decided to redo the horn installation. Aside from not having a locating tab, the supplied replacement brackets are shorter and flimsy (they are designed to be bent, if necessary). As the connector is oriented higher on the Genuine GM replacement horns, I quickly discovered the wiring harness...

    Your methodical layout of the valves, valve springs, etc. greatly satisfies my OCD. Thank you. :handshake:

    New wiper cowl (and, not seen, transmission linkages, windshield washer nozzles and 5/32" hose), wiper arms, and wiper blades. All Genuine GM components. Nonetheless, I had to gently bend the passenger side wiper arm to make the blade contact and conform to the windshield. Initially, it was ~1"...

    Ahhh, much better. I can confirm that Dow Corning 4 insulating compound is very easy to use. It also has great reviews, with one reviewer posting a photograph of his Land Cruiser crossing a river and swearing by the product's ability to insulate against water.

    Yes, the other half is missing. From the factory, the charcoal canister purge line would have been routed above the PCV line. The item circled in the photograph is to secure the purge line to the PCV line.

    Tough decision indeed. I suppose it all depends on your intended purpose for said vehicle. With that said, I can't help but lean towards a C8.

    I hope to start the engine in 2 months. Transfer case and exhaust system aside, there are still a lot of details to address, such as cleaning electrical terminals/sockets. :D

    Countless cotton swabs, a microfiber towel, a small pick, a nylon brush, degreaser, and several hours of your time. :pp:

    You're telling me. I would have left them alone but I was unable to source yellow electrical insulating compound. I ended up purchasing Dow Corning 4, which is clear.

    I also cleaned 2 out of 4 of the turn signal and parking lamp sockets. What a horrible job.

    Today I installed new low and high horns. They are Genuine GM parts, made in the USA (to my surprise), and notably smaller than the OEM horns.

    Looks great! I wonder if your chassis photographs would be sufficient to persuade my wife to allow me to build a second GMT-400 with a flat black frame and gloss black bolt-on items. :hmm:

    If you can afford to do it (as you indicated, the cost of ancillaries will add up quickly), I would be inclined to select the third option.
