When I did the hood I noticed the DS cowl piece was missing two clip mounts so I ordered a used one off eBay. They want like $60 for a new one. I think I paid $20 for one that’s like new. Good thing it wasn’t the other side, thats an Escalade one with no antenna hole and we all know those are impossible to find now.

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve updated this thread and that’s because nothings broke lately. Well except the driver seat. The back rest will adjust backwards but not forwards. Which really sucks since I checked it a couple times and now it’s fairly reclined. I hear a click but no forward so now I have to put a pillow behind my back to drive. Not a good time to fix it since I’ve got 2-3 other outside projects I’m working on atm.

Yesterday afternoon I decided to try fixing the seat. After removing it I remembered the threaded Rod on the outside of the seat base is associated with the recliner function so I inspected the electrical components. There’s a motor and a mechanism that looks like a solenoid with a plunger that pushes against the cable drive that the motor turns. I have no idea how it works or what part is not working and none of it is designed to be replaced since it’s all riveted in place. The new seat bottoms aren’t available anymore. I decided to just remove the motor and chuck that cable in my drill and adjusted the angle until it felt right and then reinstalled the seat. Of course I cut the shit out of my finger doing it but hey the seat is comfy again. And I can no longer accidentally recline it because that sucked when it kept reclining more and more but not coming back up

I had that issue with my drivers seat last year. The forward motors in the 2003 seats have that same rod that hooks into the seats tracks. Got it all the way forward only for it to get stuck that way because the forward motor broke in the middle and wouldn’t connect to the rod to move it backwards along the track. Was not fun getting in there and getting that motor piece out and reconnecting a functioning one to the rod to get it to move again. Many cute and scrapes all over my hands by the time it was all said and done. I feel your pain! Nice work!

I’m usually not a fan of cowl hoods. But yours looks really clean. The whole truck looks great and the hood doesn’t stick out. It all has a nice flow.

As for the cases- the Boost ones come with plastic edged cases. I like the metal edged ones- they’re more robust. Plus the metal,is easily painted. For mine thus time, I copied the description from an old eBay order and pasted it into my Amazon Prime and it came up with several options. It depends on if you have remote start or not.
Here’s that description:

I’ve spent all summer building stuff around the house. The trucks have been performing flawlessly, not a single breakdown this year. I just changed the oil in this one, 178,700 miles. It took me well over a year to drive 3000 miles. Since I’m retired I don’t drive that much. This truck will last me for the rest of my life easily at this rate. It suits me and the dog just fine.
I did pull a sample for Blackstone Labs and I’ll come back with the results. And I’m planning on adding my home projects here, I just need to take the time to do it. There’s some pretty cool things I’ve designed and built in the garage and such. It’s been a super nice summer here, not too many hot days over 90. Now with fall in the air, things are beautiful here in the PNW.

I saw you still haven't done the fuel pump upgrade. I've been looking at this for my upgrade on a rig of mine. https://atomicfabandperformance.com/product/afpsurgetank/ looks to be pretty easy to upgrade for power.
he's not makng that kind of power.... oem pump is good for more than 500hp

You’re gonna make the 950-2000 hp that system is designed for? Fir me, I’d spend some of that money where needed- bigger injectors. Besides a bigger pump, I’d need to pull the blower to install bigger injectors since Whipple doesn’t let you do that without pulling it and that’s a real PIA. And I’d need a 2- bar tune and do away with the MAF. I’m ok with what it makes. It’s a blast to drive and it’s reliable.

thought he said he was looking at doing dual pumps along with a 2 bar map sensor.
yeah, my duramax makes a bit over 620whp/1100ftlbs. Plans for my gmt800 are a big turbo l92, 6l90 and supporting mods. i'll hit 1k with it and be done. I usually start at the bottom and go up, brakes, suspension, fuel.

Yeah I’m not interested in that much power for a daily. I have a hard enough time keeping fuel in the tank as it is. Do a build thread on it when you do, there’s only a few 1000 hp SUV’s here.
