atta boy.

sooo it sounds like you're building an older version of what i want.

few beers and lots of house mods this weekend. new faucet in the kitchen since it was leaking under the sink and into the basement real bad, but it still leaked after the swap. found the garbage disposal had a big crack in the housing. so thats new. then took a part of a wall out in the basement, finally getting that project rolling.

worked on a few of the bicycle projects in the garage in between projects; our big art prize cruise is in two weeks. as soon as thats done the project snow blower i picked up late last winter is coming into the garage for a complete teardown and refurb.

ohh freetime, how i miss thee.

Not so much a prerunner for flying. But the front does have hiem joint at the rear and frees up the bind and does give more travel.

If it happens to ride better on the sand when done then win win.

Happy Monday

Same body lines, you can put a 96 front end on an 80 if you want to.

Got quite a bit done on the truck this weekend and just ordered the next round of parts for this coming weekend. I left my memory car at home so i will update the build thread tomorrow with pictures.

Ended up with the triple A pillar pod didn't want to mess with the visor not working right. May end up having to get a dash or above mirror pod if I want more space.

what about a scan gauge? not sure how many parameters the 7.3 supports on those things, but they're gold on the 6.0l

Scangauge II is a good investment on a 7.3 too. Just before I sold my truck I was working on a 5 gauge pod that mounts above the steering wheel on the dash. I never got the chance to finish it before saying goodbye to the truck. I still have it what I started with if anyone is interested.
7.3 does not support fuel pressure or engine temp a scangauge pretty much shows everything else. I also used the torque app for the same thing.
