Checked for BJ slop (that came out differently than I was intending...) and I am happy to report ZERO movement on the passenger side and a barely noticeable amount on the drivers side. So I'm good in the BJ arena.

Glad to see that annoying search bar is gone............... Today I replaced my sagging front springs with used Cummins springs I bought from a board member. Picked up an inch and a half in height and no more bottoming out over speed bumps. Replaced the front and rear shocks with monroes while I was under there as well.

I also removed the heat shields from the exhaust manifolds and installed some 1200 degree heat sleeves over the plug boots. The shields had broken loose and were rattling from time to time driving me nuts.

Installed the TCP Performance dual efan kit. Draft hook up worked then finalized all the wire routing. Sheesh took a bit.

Remaining item is just location of status LED and manual override switch.

Didn't take bc dark. Final pictures ill do but wiil be tough to sneak some bc of what "day" it is. You should get in trouble if you're installing, lolol

I'm sure we can both make this very good. I ended up not using the spal sensor. Allen wrench not long enough to get 1/2" npt plug out. I'm expecting you to have some better idea than me. I got tired bc started at 7am got it all in and wires test connected, then helped ppl move and it was hot.
