Re: Extreme Xtreme
Yet another update: 
Swapped out trans cross member as at some point I put the wrong one in. :tdown: Thanks to a donation for the right one I drilled a 1" hole to get all the crud out of it and painted it with what was left of the POR15. (Thanks for the donation from Smaug! :tup
Installed front coil overs and got all that torsion crap out/off the truck - At one point I had the front rad support inches off the ground, so the coils had to be cranked up a lot to get some fender clearance. I went with 600# Eibach springs. Got to remember the newer frames are boxed and it is an extended cab, so probably is heavier than a SY/TY. Although it could probably use a 1.5 - 2" spacers for the springs, but it is okay.
Went with Gabriel air shocks in the back. Studied their application chart and got some shocks that are short enough so that it can be lowered with blocks and still be raised high enough if there is anything heavy in the bed. -also put in bell tech springs, so between the two it can come down another 1.5 " to meet the fender lip.
Put in my custom gauge mount. Don't care for the pillar mount as I do not want to advertise to other what's hiding under the hood. This was supposed to be semi flat black, but realized I used gloss clear and that threw off the look i wanted. It will come back off and get sprayed again. May be with flat black and spray with semi gloss to see how that looks.
Here is how it looks today:
Still have to wire up the relay for the air to water pumps and then clean up the engine bay some more with zip ties etc.
Poconojoe hooked me up with a base tune and EFIlive to get the 411PCM running. I did have it out on the street, but still wary of the cops because it is not registered etc and did manage to stall in the middle of the road when the intake hose blew off just before the intercooler . I was shitting there for a few minutes 'till I realized what happened -thought i trashed the engine even though it should be running zero boost. :squint:
SO now it is time to get home schooled on EFI live to get this SOB tuned. Joe has been an awesome help and I value his knowledge. There is a lot to absorb, but I am getting psyched to start cruising again :tup: -Too bad it fukin 20 degrees outside :roll:
Another thanks to Tom from Sportmachines to deliver the Xtreme valence at Hooters. I'll probably save that one and am currently repairing the original one in the basement. The driveway has a steep decline going out to the street and there is a whole lot of scrapping going on. Sucks and can't wait to move to a flat driveway so the truck can be lowered more.
No turning back now-too many hours and cash pumped into this to drop it. :squint:
