I feel that. Hell, I just bought gauges, Autometer, but not super fancy stuff. Made pretty short work of $700.

With todays prices I wouldn’t be able to have built my truck
Amen to this ^
That’s why it’s taken me 4 years to get to almost ready to turn the key and test. All the little shit adds up insanely fast.
The good thing about Summit is, I ordered yesterday afternoon, it will be here tomorrow.
The end of a project; $20 here, $40 there..... Always the budget killer!
What is a budget? I didn't start with one. Thankfully. Because I would have been way off.
Makes building the Drag Jimmy in retirement a question.

Start now before it isn’t possible, but I really don’t like stacking parts up. I usually buy a week before I need it.
I been stacking for decades
What else do I need for the truck? I have another order ready, but I do not want to pay shipping. Need $32 more. Shipping is $18.
Coolant? Oil? Mass airflow sensor? Air filter? Oil filter?
Air intake. Thanks.
Extra fittings for those "special" hard to get things. It's a bummer to need a replacement and not have it.
Did you get the two special pipe plugs for the oil galley where the vacuum pump was?
We’re calling it Bruce Jenner juice now
With the intake and some misc. AN fittings, Summit suddenly hit $205, Amazon was $206. I guess I need to keep working.
There is a sign in the managers office at my local O'Reillys'.
"If you ask for the Flux-capacitor part number, we will bitch slap you until all of your teeth fall out. If you don't have any teeth, we bitch slap until you crap your pants."
That last part must be a Tennessee thing.
One extra of every fitting I ordered. Extra hose also.
Came with the ICT block off plate, that I then replaced with the bracket for the PS pump. It went into the tuition pile.
I was able to straighten the oil dipstick, then bend it to go outside of the headers and point forward. In the factory location, it was against the driverside floor.
Fuel pump has been installed in the tank. I welded a down tube with a 90* bend pointed away from the pump, onto the return tube. The return fuel will not foam this way. Clamped the fuel pump to it. Ran power feed to the front for the relay install.
I have been ghosted by the ECU and harness guy. Was supposed to be 2 weeks. Monday was 4 weeks from when he emailed that he got it. Said it was shipping Tuesday. Not returning emails or calls now. How do people stay in business this way?
Cool you were able to make the dipstick work. If it’s Mitch, he is definitely terrible at returning emails and texts.
