Sorry for the lack of updates, been extremely busy and forgot about this thread. Have had time to work on the truck tho, prepare for a small info and picture dump.
Found an aluminum front skidplate to replace my plastic one. When I went to install it the 2.75" pulley that I thought I lost in South Dakota fell out. Dunno how it stayed down there that long but I guess I'm lucky.
Rebuilt the rear drums, and installed the NBS master cylinder in South Carolina. Definitely helped with the brakes but they're still mushier than I like. Guess all I can do now is delete the broken ABS system.
Now for my bad luck... I completely grenaded the performabuilt 4l60e. The 2-3 pack was completely gone, shrapnel throughout the entire transmission and only ~10 psi of pressure. While they do offer a great no questions asked replacement policy, I didn't have time to ship it all the way to Pennsylvania and wait on the replacement. Had a local shop rebuild it, 2 year 100,000 mile warranty that I can actually take advantage of.
The tune is worked out pretty good now.
I took the light bar off, with the new headlights I have it didn't even make a difference.
Got a 96 model dash cluster, miles where almost the same and I like how the RPM gauge shifts to red above 5,000.
Found a nice NBS center console at the junk yard, it's now painted to match my interior but not installed yet.
And the powder coating burned off part of my exhaust tip within a week of installing it, thankfully Summit Racing has a great policy and sent me a new one free of charge.
Pictures in next post
