LordFinesse Build

Ok more upgrades! No pics however, today i got my truck back from the transmission shop, did a complete rebuild with a mild shift kit, corvette servos, and a new torque converter, the difference is night and day, he showed me the fluid that was in there before the rebuild, it looked like tar.. With metal in it. I def needed to flush it a long time ago but i just found it too hard to do that for 80ish bucks when i was going to spend 1400 for the overhaul, anyways it runs great def quicker response time and much firmer shifts in my opinion well worth it

And more! Got the DDM lights installed today too, 35W lows 55W highs, both at 4500k they are pure white when warmed up, the digital ballasts are quicker to warm up and dont buzz, which wasnt really an issue with my old ones anyways.

I had to mod the light assembly because the nuts the top screws mounted into totally stripped from the assembly so i removed the whole thing and then noticed the right side (which is the one that was F'd up) was sitting waay too low there was a big gapat the top of the assembly and the grill piece. So i pulled it again used an air dremel to make the mounting holes a lil bigger and got it fitted. I also siliconed the light assemblys cause they would get foggy after a wash or heavy rain so thats done now too.

Had the day off so i figured i would go ahead and do the Ultimate Throttle Body Mod Stage 1, took about 30min, just drove a few miles and it was definitely worth it, its not a huge difference but extra power is extra power right? Heres what it looked like when i pulled it out

Threw a 1/4 in injector pod spacer last tuesday before i went to SF (700ish mile drive) and noticed a little bit of mpg gain, about 1.1 but that also inclides the ultimate tbi mods cause this is the first time ice actually paid attention to milage since the mod probably cause my trip odometer is broken. Im doin about 14.5 mpg now but thats smashing on the highway 80+ and its just a V6. Got the spacer from JEGS for 20 bucks shipped and i dont notice a big difference but at WOT i feel a little more response. Heres the pic

Another update.. Heater core went out the day after i put 700+ miles on the truck goin to SF. Smelled coolant when i went to work the other day, no leakes under the hood but i could really smell it with the heat on, got it replaced in about 45 min. The hose clamps were a real ***** to take out, i had to cut the hoses off, they were baked on, other than that it went real smooth. Only cost 38 bucks and like 9 for coolant cause i lost about 1.5 quarts, none of it on the carpet though No pics however i was in a hurry i really want to switch the clips to hoseclamps cause man they are in a tight spot.

So Im on an interior spree! I got a overhead console, homelink and leds for the console, i tore out my headliner a long time ago for the FatMat and i just fiberglassed the whole thing to make it strong enough to hold the OC i just put up the black suade last night, heres some pics. I used a whole 32oz can of fiberglass and 2 sheets of cloth. I let it dry, used my die grinder to sand down everything and cut off the excess then used super 77 glue to put down the suade, its got a foam backing just like the original vinyl one.
As you can tell im no upholstery expert lol

And you can see i had to use closepins to hold the fabric while it was glueing, that was yesterday and now its dry it seems very secure
