Who’s got a rivet nut tool they would recommend?

 

The Astro Pneumatic brand one works great and even come with some of the right size metric inserts in the box

 

That's a great idea. The last tuned ECU that I bought offered a switch with 4 settings. Valet, Stage 1 (normal and for emissions), Stage 2, and Stage 3.

The right ECU makes all the difference.

 

I bought this one. It works great for what I've needed.

I'm thinking I'll wire in a switch to switch tunes for a lower boost wheeling tune with all fire making options (no lift shift/anti-lag/2-step/burbles and crackles) turned off, a higher boost tune with all the fun stuff turned on for on road, and probably a more efficient tune for the long highway drives to go wheeling. It can store up to 8 tunes onboard.

 

You should be able to use the base map from Mega squirt I think...that is assuming you're slapping a turbo on there as well. They have one for that.

 

Nice. That will be fun.

 

Swapped in a new scrapyard gas tank since mine had a rusted out fuel sending unit gasket surface. Put in a 4.56 3rd from the same donor truck, replaced rear brake lines and wheel cylinders while I was in there. Decided to leave well enough alone with the axle seals and wheel bearings. Cleaned up and painted the drive shaft and axle, rear bumper, and axle backing plates. Re-greased slip yolk.

Such an improvement going to 4.56 from 3.91's. No more leaking gas. Didn't break any bolts. Had a friend over to help out and teach her some wrenching. Good weekend!

 

Used this chassis black from Napa pretty good stuff

 

Installed a mini powerplant in my camper.

 

Very nice

 

Don't buy the harbor freight one, they're junk unless you only want to use it a couple times. But I would suggest one of similar style, they give you more access than the v ones. Or even better for tight places are the style you set with a wrench.

 

Put the Prinsu rack on today. I think it turned out quite nice!
