Haha nope. I've thrown many motorsports parts and ideas at her she is numb to it by now. Plus I was pretty clear at the start that we always have separate finances. We can have a joint account strictly for mutual purchase things (mortgage), but we won't ever have all of it together. That would be insanity. Now we get to be ignorant of each other's stupid purchases and be all the merrier for it haha

Lol my wife gave me a "If you think it would fix it and you can get back to life" answer to my thoughts about tossing a 6.6l stroker kit at my 6.0.

Separate finances are great.
Sadly, I have to pay the "important" bills so there is always that question.

:emotions36:

Morgage, power, gas, visits to our(my) favorite breweries for dinner, etc.

Working on two new tunes for the ol hoe.

Next step, 6.2 timing table. :boobs:

there are these torque tables that apparently really make up the difference.

So, I have two tunes ready, one with just the tables.
the next one that has the torque stuff with it.

Apparently, that will also affect my transmission shifting since it uses those tables to calculate shift stuff.
So some of the pressures are getting lowered a tad.

I think the v2 of the 6.2 timing tables with those tables will be what i want in the end.

Agreed. I've never had a joint account and have never had an argument over finances.

Some solid shine on the old jerk

Damn that looks great! Been putting off a full detail, but with the mechanical stuff done (for now) it might be time. Did you remove the door cladding? If so what did it take? I assume some combo of hair dryer and fishing line...

I revisited my dash install today. I recalled a comment about the brackets under the airbag and then remembered that one didn’t seem quite right. I pulled the airbag again and took out the two 10mm mounting bolts to find the right side bracket lifted up a lot. Thats what I recalled and I believe it creates stress on the other side of the left bracket where the first crack always starts. As I pushed down on that bracket I believe I could see the flex in the dash where the other crack was in the old dash. I found a spacer that fit perfectly and reassembled everything. The slots in the airbag mount still allowed for assembly too. Gad I came back to that!

Heat gun. Hot day. Dental Floss. Patience. Braided fishing line would work too though. Then theres all sorts of stuff to pull the rest of the adhesive off with.

IMO, a Hair dryer is too out of control. Its like a spring break heat solution; wild in the streets. Just get a heat gun from HF. If it works once it's served its purpose.

I hope I remember this when I install mine.

That’s weird that would be like that. I’ve only done the dash in my Silverado and both sides of those brackets sat perfect. Good eye.
