I was hoping it had a gold nugget in it when I picked it up. LOL Do you know Darin if auto parts stores carry POR 15. I cleaned up the radiator support and wanted to use something on it.

I couldn't tell you if they do or not Glenn. I'd think they would have something like it.

Glenn if you have a PPG or a DuPont auto paint supplier around you they would have. A lot of machine shops around here carry it to

Thanks Mike, I'll check that out. Loved the video of your son cranking away on the wrench! Quality time, nothing like it!

IIRC I had to use different removal tools to remove the factory hoses that linked the lines from the frame to the engine hard lines. The engine hard lines are different sizes. But I measured the outside and inside diameter of the hard lines on the frame and the outside diameter of the hoses going to the selector valve. As best I could tell they are all identical. In fact I put the return quick connect on the wrong hardline and had to swap it to the other line. Same size. Go figure. Who knows they could be different on different years. Just my experience with my rig.

I don't have a clue what it is or even if it belongs to the truck. Any guesses?
Its a white rag with something on it. LOL JK

Well, seriously looks like something for the cab/frame supports, IDK.

That's what I thought of too, just missing the rubber grommet or pad. IDK never really looked at that part, someone that has had cab or bed off would know.

John Wood put the trans in, that is not it. But it does look like a body mount but its to small. Oh well.

Not much done today except last minute shopping, LOL

Used the porta power, what a wonderful tool. I thought I would put the exhaust on from the back forward because I don't know how its going to match up yet with the s366 turbo's DP. I dug out some old instructions for mounting the IC. In the stickies I don't really like those instructions. I have forgotten how much has to be done to mount it. Well, not really but its a little more involved then I remembered.

Have you figured out what that piece was yet Glenn. It looks kinda like part of the body mount where the core support mounts to the frame, but not sure about that. What cross member did it fall off of?
