It's not installed yet. I took out the dash, column, loom and factory ac this week. Firewall has been completely covered with dynamat. Got things ready to put in the Nostalgic air kit when a friend called to tell me he has the same kit and the defroster hardly works. Looking at it I can see why. The outlet on the evaporator is half the size of the inlet for the defrost vents on our trucks. I need to figure out a way to neck it down. I'll probably scrounge up a smaller vent from the junk yards and make it fit.

I was thinking of switching the center vent and the defrost hoses
As the velocity is much higher on it, also I think I will try out one of the cable controlled a/c thermostats to get rid of the extra ****. Anyone else get their heater to actually get the cab warm? Think I might do a back seat heat and evaporator like Higbean and I were talking about.

Just about done with the wiring. Been at it everyday for what seems like a month.
I put in a power distribution box from an Expedition. It will make adding stuff very easy.
Had to take a little time every afternoon to help the little one learn to ride her bike. I've taught all my girls how to ride a bike. Kinda sad this is the last one.

Yeah man, I'm digging it as well. Has a ton of room for adding more stuff. I even grabbed a satellite relay box that mounts on the same stand. (Can't figure out how to get the bottom off for the life of me!) The coolest part is, if you need to add something, you throw in a fuse and run a wire. Done.

Well, I get 12 going up hill and 19 going down. Still getting around 15.5 mpg around town. Stuck with the 4.10 ratio and will be going through the trans in the next few months. It's pretty slushy. Almost time for tires and thinking about going from 35" to 37" too. Haven't quite talked myself into them yet though.

If you get into the trans are you doing the converter, you mentioned debating that.
Did the D60 you got have 4.10s in it? Me doing a diesel swap is a long ways off but I'll be doing a ZF-5 swap in the next couple weeks so my motor won't be screaming down the freeway, I get 11mpg around town and 7.5mpg on the freeway with the C6+4.56s
