your engine is just tooo clean...

 

There's other options for a tank but this is the one they're referring to.

Thanks man.......I hope you meant that as a compliment. Lol so every time I wash my truck (fairly often) I always take the time to pop the hood and wipe what I can. I don’t care no one sees it. I love to have it clean.....

 

Wish mine was that clean and organized

 

hard to do passing people in the sandbox.

 

Truuuuue.

 

I would be embarrassed to show off the condition of my engine bay after seeing that. I guess it is no different than my truck. I use the southside Gallagher washing method, rain. @JuanitoBunito you must be northside? LOL When your paint comes off from rain or wiping snow off the hood, I just don't see the point. But it will hopefully be getting painted soon, flat cement grey Epoxy. Just wish I would have know the truck had been totaled and repainted before I bought it.

 

Southside ......total Sox fan here!!!

 

Well the new exhaust setup is in and I think I'm satisfied.. finally. Sucks it had to go to a different shop and I had to pay more. But it's done and done correctly. Sounds pretty good. Different and better than I expected. Went with a resonator in place of the Borla muffler this time around due to having the cat's deleted, and then into another Magnaflow. Ran all the way out to the stock location. Not sure how I feel about the exit quite yet.. might end up chopping it over the axle again. New hangers, all new piping, new bungs for the 02 sensors. Definitely clean.

 

It was. My engine bay is a filthy whore in need of a good whores bath..

 

Looking good. I am trying to get that squared away soon as well but will have to keep the Cats. Prob stick with 2.5 back. Need to redo the re-route since its hitting the trans skid. If I am going to run 2.5 back even at the Muffler, is it worth tossing in a 3" collector or maybe a resonator?

 

Housing your coolant in a extremely thermally conductive container within the hot engine bay is a bit of a turn off. I think the leaking issue is not guaranteed to happen. Did someone run a comparison test of different containers?

 

Pick your evil, ABS or Nylon may stay cooler than aluminum longer, but once brought up to temperature it is A LOT harder for the material to shed that heat off as well. Aluminum is thermally more conductive yes, but it also has excellent heat dissipation properties.

At the end if the day, pick your reservoir bling and don't give it too much thought.

 

i know it has been covered somewhere in the last 1195 pages. just having trouble looking for what i need.
looking into going with a 2.8 pulley. what is needed to go with it? what is recommended, but not needed? thanks.

 

Just a fuel pump. You could do a shift kit but at those power levels it's not needed.

 

forgot to say its manual trans.
thanks.

 

The resi recirculates.

 

From what I have read just the fuel pump. I think you can keep the same belt but check page 1 for that. Once you go down from 2.8 there is a list of items to get. I bought the qwuik change setup in 2.5 but grabbed a 2.8 Incase I dont get to some of the items right away.

 

Sure, but it's similar to installing an inline heater. It would probably be difficult to quantify the difference between Aluminium and plastic in this scenario. I'd rock one if it showed up at my door. Just thinking it would raise temps more than the plastic res.
