    Cooling System/Crossover Pipe

    Assuning you'll be replacing front/rear crossover pipes, water pump, oil cooler pipe, and thermostat it should take you 4 hours tops. BUT there's always 1 or 2 non-compliant bolts that'll just ruin that timeline. :beer:

    Cooling System/Crossover Pipe

    If you worked on cars in general, you'll be able to do this. DIY with all oem parts for 1/3rd of that cost.

    How fast MPH can you shift into 4L?

    I'm typically in 2nd gear or going less than 10 mph dropping down to 4L. D to N, 4L, and back to D. Now I'm wondering if it's possible to do it while going faster.

    Routing for stout wires from battery to back?

    4 awg is more than enough, but I think you can go up to 2 awg. I highly recommend marine wire or OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) and stick to AWG (American Wire Gauge) sizes. Not a fan of CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum).

    Routing for stout wires from battery to back?

    There's a little rubber grommet underneath the brake booster, it's near the 11:39 minute mark of the video. That's THE best way to do it. There's also another route that's not recommended, but I needed 2x 4 awg wires routed to the rear. One was routed under the brake booster as recommended, and...

    Head Removal

    I'm at the waiting for parts and cleaning while waiting stage. I was fortunate to score all oem bnib thermostat, power steering pump, and 1x ignition coil for $60 while waiting on dealership parts. Unfortunately, I didn't document anything. An interesting note, a 50/50 mixture of any...

    Blowby that feeds oil directly back into your intake manifold and intake valves causing carbon build up.

    Main Battery Upgrade to Lithium

    @powershift I have the MT45 platinum and I absolutely love it. Get the transit bag for thermal efficiency and reduced power loads.

    Main Battery Upgrade to Lithium

    I'm thinking about rerouting ALL my wires too and upgrading from AGM (aux) to 2x 100Ah mini lifepo4 batteries with a 3rd 100Ah mini in a pelican case (for portability) that'll simply plugin to create a 300Ah system. Also thinking about chopping up the rear end to accommodate all this.

    Main Battery Upgrade to Lithium

    People still swear by Traxide and they do a great job. My issue is the "Smart Alternator" doesn't provide constant +13V to sense charging to both batteries, for Traxide or any cheap dual battery modules. I've been running a RedArc dc-dc with solar and haven't looked back since. If I were to to...

    Main Battery Upgrade to Lithium

    The charging profiles are completely different. Long story short, you can't do that. However, you can add a lithium battery as a secondary battery with a dc-dc charger. Lithium batteries are sensitive to temperature as well, so be aware. Heat and freezing temps **** lithiums. Most people have...

    Sudden Hissing near Valve Cover (5.0 V8)

    It's very common that the pcv valves go bad and have a hole in them. Just get 2x LR133579, cheap ones on Amazon are fine too. As for your brake issue, you might want to check your brake pedal switch XKB500110. Not sure if that's the cause of your click, but the truck will do funny things with...

    1st transmission was from factory and had a crack on it and dumped fluid. 2nd transmission was brand new dealership installed, but these idiots left the oil cooling line dangling on top of the front diff and was slowly losing fluid for however long. Found a puddle of gender neutral fluid while...
