- Start date
cuz old 
nah, I just wanted it cuz I usually set torque app on long trips and use it to monitor trans temp...ever since I got the trucool its been good but it would get hot before.
So Im going to be swapping out my aerochamber for a Gibson I had on my first ccsb...tired of the drone I have even with a resonator...so im installing the big ol Gibson soon

All in how you install it i suppose. The harness for mine had a little speaker attached to it. Wrapped that bish up in tape and chimes no more
all I use from my oem harness is ground and power IIRC...switched power from the box down by my feet...rest is all RCAs and my own wiring
So I took all last week off and went to san Francisco Sat-Tue and FINALLY did my 243 swap...took me 2.5 days since I had to wait for my PRs to come in....Did it W-Th and Sat.
Intake off
Valve covers off n whatnot
Many parts
Cylinders looked very good and had plenty of oem crosshatching left
Checker springs on 243s...ended up with 7.3 PRs and got 1.25 turns on the rocker bolt...will order 7.325 tho since I want a lil more preload
CC'd the heads
Started at 100cc..u neers do the math :secret:
And of course I had a lil mishap....I had to roll the truck in n out of the garage a bit to be able to work on it and then close the door at night...well it was super late and I was tired...I opened my door to put the truck in N and it rolled back more than I anticipated as soon as I shifted....door was open, fucked up the pillar...TINY chip on my door was all the damage...VERY lucky
I'll say this tho, the tools you use will either make ur life miserable or make this a breeze. I had ARP head bolts and ARP thread cleaners....def recommend both. Made install and clean up so easy. The Lingenfelter valve spring compressor also made swapping springs actually enjoyable.
Only thing other than the top end that had to come off was the Alternator and alternator bracket was just broken loose. I used the NNBS crossover tube and NNBS valve covers since the gaskets were better on those...bolted up fine. Was able to torque all the bolts real easy since I have a bunch of different size extensions and bolts are only 75ft lbs...tender lil Cody should be able to torque them down, no problemo.
And obligatory idle vids...notice the quiet engine...no sowing machine sound
