Default Thanks To All Here Who Give Advice

Just want to thank everyone here who has been incredibly helpful with everything I have ran into with my truck. Most recently the abs/brake no speedo problem. With everyone's help I was able to fix the intake, open up the exhaust, fix the tranny, and do quite a bit of customization. Gonna attach a few pics of the engine work for all to see. Thanks again everyone.

Alright thanks for that, since I put that air cleaner on there I have been getting a sucking sound when accelerating figure it was because it didn't have all the plastic to muffle it. I'll get a K&N this weekend.

After paint and clear, then the "inspiration" to add the stripe, then 3 more coats of clear. Wish I would have done it as I was doing base coat. Less clear, less labor, less money. But the paint shine is really good! (can't talk the wife into a strip on her car though....she just rolls her eyes...)
