I am absolutely amazed, the four(4) cab mounting bolts, that have body bushings, and the sheet metal around them is completely rotted away, they turned, easily!
I put my 24" Snap-On breakerbar, with 19mm impact socket(that's what I found first),
Layed underneath, and they all, just turned easily.
I was expecting torches and spray lubricants.
Not sure what to do now...

The floors are worse than I remembered. Gonna need a couple of more panels and something for rocksliders.
Just a little something today. It's actually a big something.
Bought a 100 Amp, continuous duty, relay, to make the "Key On" power, to power the items that need key on power, under the hood

Just a bit of small things today.
1st pic - I cut an access hole for the wire harness to pass through. Used a piece of 3/8ths fuel line and bit of structural sealant to ensure the harness doesn't get damaged in the passthrough.
2nd & 3rd are the start of a throttle cable bracket. More to follow.

Very nice! I’ve got an 03 CCLB 4x4 w/ 8.1 & Allison. It’ll tow anything I put behind it without even breathing hard. I always love to read about any swap involving one.
With Covid appearantly still kicking my ass, I'm just doing bits and pieces. I finally welded up my (CUSTOM) RH upper AC bracket. Since a factory one doesn't exist.
I made some custom 10.9, 10 x 1.5 studs, because I didn't like how the bolts felt, holding it all together. Very happy now, as I can have AC. I'll have to build a belt tensioner mount, since I want a single, spring loaded tensioner. Like most modern engines use. Shouldn't be a big deal.

I made a throttle cable bracket, as everything I saw out there, worth having was over $100
Screw that!
Screw that!
Got a new inner fender installed, so I could mock up where the relay/distribution/PCM box had to go. About 12 inches forward and 2.5 inches towards the passenger side should do nicely.
RH inner fender, on the way, hopefully Tuesday.
Chloe is getting a new intake hose, to solve the hood interference issue
This, I can work with, the hood will still need a bit of tenderizing with 2 lb sledge on the support rib, right in the center. But, the hood can now be closed all the way.
Finally, got around to getting the AC compressor cleaned bit, and mounted. I still need to replace the clutch/pulley assembly on it, as it needs a 6 groove as opposed to the 4 groove, that's on it now.
Finally, got all my gauges. Ultra light series.
Mucho dinero!
Mucho dinero!
All those together are over $500.

Nope, don't like the drive by wire. Never sat right with me.
I got the throttlebody from a Vortec 454

I think mine was tuned wrong... guy did a hot tune and when truck was runnin, barely touch gas and tires spin. hoping tmorrow to be able to turn key again.. no fires i hope... then figure out hptuners throttle setting.
Mine is bone stock. No DBW, no speed sensor.
Old school TPS, MAF, IAC, O2's and a mechanical throttlebody.
I had the tune built to match that setup. Not looking for huge HP/Torque numbers. Just want it to get down the road.

same to a point.. want stock.. stock 2002 where parts are off shelf, more power than my sbc and efi reliability...
hoping to have that soon.
