Had my son fix a very small leak on one of the hoses going to the transmission cooler. It was just barely leaking enough to show up on the air dam below the front bumper.

Clearanced around it a little bit and replaced the short section of hose from the hard line to the aftermarket cooler and all is well.

Also collected an oil sample for Blackstone labs. I run extended OCIs and Blackstone wanted a sample at around 6k miles to compare everything else to.

Topped off the oil and transmission fluid and drained the oil catch can... got 2oz out of it... actually measured it this time with a paint mixing cup that is marked.

I normally only drain it when I change the oil at around 13k-15k miles but was curious to see how much was in it at 6k miles.

I really need to order some red wrinkle paint so I can get that new valve cover I got from @iamdub put on the Burb to hopefully alleviate some more of the oil vapor.

Very happy with how the vinyl came out. Still need to do the door trim and maybe steering wheel.

Nice! Looks great!

thanks. Pretty easy to work with and all of the corners came out mint. I took my time but felt myself starting to get impatient. That’s usually when I start screwing up so I called it quits for the day. It’s a pretty perfect match to the arctic white too

That looks awesome!!! im not a fan of all the fake wood thats in mine. I like the brushed stainless the vent parts are, thought about seeing if I could match that, or do like you did and match the exterior color

Thanks. I’ve never been a fan of the fake wood... I was going to leave the vents alone initially but thought it might look cleaner all the same color

Just an update for anyone considering mods. Pulling that trailer yesterday. 22’ steel floor car hauler with winch. Before with just a tune it was a labor to pull trailer empty. Now much nicer and when loaded drove like it did without MIT and SLP delete. Amazing how 250 bucks paid off in the truck pulling so much better. I have 3.08 and I am almost satisfied with the towing finally. The resonator delete sounds so nice going down the freeway with a load. 2k rpm just hums so nice. So research mods folks. Do good stuff. And win all around for sure. Happy Saturday guys.

I’m giving my first shot at wrap. I started with the door switch bezel but found the area where it bumps up around the switch to cause me problems. I’m thinking more heat might help idk. It’s a weird shape.

Rocket- a heat gun is best. Hair dryers are not hot enough.

Be careful they will melt plastic.
I used a heat gun but was afraid to get it too hot so I barely hit it. I watched some videos though and I think I need to hit it more. I’m gonna try again.

It’s ok, not perfect. Thanks.

How hard is it to remove the dash parts for wrapping? I'm always worried I'll break tabs off the pieces. I was going to buy a second set to wrap. But if it's low risk, I may just try it with the ones I have.

a heat gun helps. I used Avery and it seems pretty forgiving

I’ll be doing those today. Maybe more heat and primer if you have problems with it coming loose
