Thanks, its nice to hear that from others. Just trying make things clean and tidy. My fuel returns could be done differently, but I am ready to just get the thing together and drive it. If all goes well I will have the chassis ready for the new cab by the end of the weekend. Still have a lot to do to the replacement cab as well.

Nice work! Not going to lie I shed a little tear when the crash pictures popped up (I had a secret man crush on your truck:D). It will be way better than before:thumb:

. Chassis is now ready for the cab. I still have some fuel lines and wiring to tidy up, but need the cab on to make sure it's routed properly

Now the big question, I need to decide on a tuner. I want to be able to flash in a "baby" tune, for break in purposes, and then be able to take it to said tuner to sit in the seat, and fine tune it. I am 2hrs from Fleece, and Mark, and about 6hrs from Nick(dont flame me, he has always been a big help). I dont have the time, nor the knowledge to dial it in the way I think it should be. Any suggestions?

Dont worry, as far as I know the colors will stay the same, but the lines may be different. My body guy asked if I wanted to something different, I am leaving it up to him as long as the blue and gray stay in some form. I also am keeping the 01-02 front clip, however the rest of the truck will be 03+ other than the seats for now.

Quick rundown, longblock built by Wagler, with fingers .020 cast pistons with valve reliefs, socal 6480 af cam, Wagler ported stock heads, and hamilton springs, carillo rods, merchant push rods, Socal balancer and flywheel, 100% over lly injectors, PPE dual fuelers, billet S366 T-4 charger(for now). I sold/traded the original built trans, for a stock 03, I built it with a MA 1000 kit, which consists of billet input and output shafts, raybestos clutches, and the other items associated with building a trans. I also added a billet C2 hub, and sent my P2 to suncoast to be made billet also. Goerend converter, fleece trans cooler lines, dual fan setrab cooler for a fuel cooler, still rocking the fass titanium 150 for now. Did away with all the factory fuel lines and ran all an/push lock hose, replaced my worn out leaf springs, with springs from a dually, removed the 2 overloads, and replaced bushings, added HSP traction bars, replaced all the brake lines with stainless lines(hard lines and flex lines). This truck will be a Heinz 57 model when I am done, started life as an 01, now has a mix and match parts from 01-06:D and will truly be an lly and 03+ truck as far as interior and electronics are considered. There are some more little details that I wont bore you all with now.

Been acquiring the big ticket items the last few years from others that changed their minds(rods, pistons). Have worked a ton of ot this year, and made out fair with the insurance company after the wreck:(

Well, I think fleece is tuning on their own dyno now, but I'm partial to Danville. My dyno tune was $499 I already had a switch. Not sure if he charges extra for built motor and odd items like that. Fleece would be my second choice, and if dyno tuning wasn't needed I'd try RidgeRunner.

Those injectors may be hard to tune. They only know idle and wide open. Lol

In case no one else caught that the injectors came from JB s 2.6 truck when we switched to 350% injectors

Holy sh*t 350%:spit:

I vote Danville... Mark is on the site a ton and seems to be willing to offer advice and help more than most:thumb:. Just my wooden nickel...
