Smoked a Bambi a couple months ago, found a killer deal on a painted bumper, but was the wrong color. Got her matched up and trans cooler replaced because of a few kinks in the bottom.

Wouldn’t have a bumper with that god awful spacer. It’s a steel bumper and you obviously have fab skills. Use them to make brackets to move the bumper up to fill the gap. Just my .02

I agree with this. Even the stock bumper looks better raised up 2” to remove the 2500/3500 spacer. The bumper looks good though!

Yea, I thought real hard about modifying shit this weekend, but I do not have the tools needed to do it well.

I can always grind off brackets, and make new ones. Basically my plan is to make plates that slide on the sides of each frame horn, but that requires plasma cutter etc etc.

Looks good Matt, nice work...

Got a link mike? I don’t have any gauges or monitor in the lml yet and don’t know how to update my auto cal to log or view pid’s on the lml. Was thinking of getting a Bluetooth adapter and using that torque app or whatever other apps there is
After getting it up and running I would not get it to run gauges. Get mechanical gauges or a CTS. It's nice to just check simple things and scan/check codes. But definitely not for running dedicated gauges.

I would say it's probably not that important but I do like always knowing that it's working and how much pressure its making..

That’s true, you have a sump? I read several posts of people not holding lift pump pressure on cp3 swapped lml’s pulling through draw tube.

No I don't have a sump, but it don't have any problem holding 9 or 10 psi under full throttle.. I think anyway I'll have to double check that today, I normally watch other gauges in them situations lol.. But I know it doesnt go below 4 psi because I have that gauge set to go red at that point and that is very noticeable..

You running air dog or fass? I know my fass came with a 1/2” draw tube and the only way to hook the fass up was to drop the tank and modify the sending unit with the 1/2” tube. Something with the 15+ change or something. I have a deviant sump with return and love it, was so simple installing fass

I was told the pickup on the LMLs was very restricted. If you don’t do a sump the pump will make a bunch more noise and not make full power.

The fires in CA did a number on a new air filter. That has probably less than 3k miles on it and I never spent any major time up close. It makes me wonder what they do to help give an actual fire engine a chance to survive.
