Its done!! W00t
The last couple of weeks have been busy. Here is a list of what has been done:
-Inner fenders modified for battery, painted and installed
-Exhaust installed
-ECM mounted
-Wiring finished and dressed
-Removed A/C system
-Dakota Digital dash installed and all gauges hooked up and calibrated (except speedo)
-Universal overflow tank installed
-stock wiper fluid tank installed
-Tranny lines cut and routed properly
-Fuel tank finished and mounted (no leaks!)
-Oil changed since engine has been sitting for awhile
-Lots of misc. clean up
Whats left:
-Fix transfer case leak
-Front fenders and grille
-Rock sliders
-Seal all the firewall holes
-Install carpet
-misc. cleanup
I went for a little test drive today and everything seems to be working properly. The tranny shifts great and the temp held steady. Filled up the gas tank, no leaks and no vapor smell. I couldn't be more excited. The only little nagging issue I have right now is that power steering pump shaft bearing has a little squeak to it. I may replace it. But regardless the power is incredible and starting is instant. My plan is to drive it to work for the next few weeks and if it does well I will run some close by trails to shake it out before Ouray!
