I sure wish my front bumper looked that good! mine looks horrible. I'm going to paint mine silver in the spring as well as freshen up the grille. Truck sure is coming along!
Most of the bumpers I find here are bent and banged up but occasionally I find a really straight one.
Me and the neighbor got out the porta power today and got the cab corner straightened out. Got the driver door hung and window swapped out. Not too bad looking now considering what a wreck I started with.
We did manage to punch a hole in the trans tunnel with the porta power but after a few minutes with the hammer and dolly my neighbor had it back to mostly normal.
Probably a bit of it, around 1800 rpm at 70 mph. Climbing over the Blue Ridge Mountains on I-70, and listening to the big block "moan" as it went up the grade in 4th maintaining 70 all the way.
I'm not knocking your EFI setup, but I'm thinking the E4OD is a big part of the improvement. With your gearing you would be turning close to 2800 @ 70 with 300 RPM slippage in the torque convertor. So, dropping the RPM by 36% (1000/2800) is a huge deal. And, the lack of slippage helps as well.
Where I will get better results is once I get the new engine done and in, 9.2-9.5 range for compression, probably a roller cam (setup for low end torque) and the better flowing F3TZ heads. I am hoping for around 14 mpg (what Matt gets with his Excursion) running empty or light loads.
Went to the pick a part and got some nicer headlight bezels and a couple of taillights. One was a near new repop. Put the new parking light lens in the bezels and it's much brighter now up front.
