Those were my first 2 mods also. Since,Ive done gauges and waiting to get my exhaust. I want to tow with my gauges and see where my egt's wind up so I can compare when I go to the 4" exhaust. Good luck with future mods.

Congrats, spow1998!!
My first was actually the AIH delete, but the 6637 was less than a day behind it. Didn't do my CCV though until after installing my oil bypass, filter cover, CCK, HPX, and foil delete. Now I've also got the Harpoon and Hutch done, complete with the Carter fuel booster pump. Can't decide what's next (in-dash compas, front levelling kit, rear discrete mounted backup lights, front fog lights, under hood fuel pressure gauge & shims, door chime delete, A/C-heater valve, or what).

Just checked UPS. I'll have my Hutch, CCK, & SS HPX tomorrow -- can't wait!!
Pete, how tough was it dropping the tank? I'm saving that mod for last because I still have like 3/4 tank. Did you do it on your own or did you have help?? I may go buy one of those 6 gallon gas jugs at Wally World and pump as much fuel out as I can...

Dropping the tank is easy (I did it by myself) IF you wait till you have that baby near empty...I used the fuel pump to pump out the last gallon or two. Then I slid under her with a piece of plywood on a floor-jack. I bet you could lower it directly onto your chest if you had a helper. That LARGE plastic nut on the top of the tank can be a bear - I threw mine into a plastic container and microwaved it for about two minutes and I sprayed silicone on the threads - went right on.

Thanks, Neal. What you did is EXACTLY how I figured I'd do it, so it's good to know it'll work okay. It's been hot enough around here lately that I'm thinking I'll just leave the tank nut out on the driveway until I'm ready to put it back on...
Thanks for the tips!!!

Hey Joe:
I had my 18yo and 14yo sons helping me, and I really screwed up and had almost a full tank before we started. I had to pump about 20 gallons into a plastic drum and a 5-gal bucket to be able to handle the tank. If you have to, wait another week and time your fillups such that there's almost nothing in the tank, especially if you're doing it by yourself. Other than that, the process of dropping and reinstalling is quite easy with a piece of plywood on a floor jack.
Probably the best way to pump out the extra fuel is with a jumper wire straight from the battery (with an inline fuse to protect your pump from excess power) and switch hooked up to the OEM pump, but the discharge will also have to be disconnected and plumbed into your receiving container(s) - obviously. If I were doing it again, that's what I would do.
Benny... here's the link to the thread where I discovered the "stealth" option on extra backup lights.
