Niice, that is look very clean and oem looking
 
Original post for anyone wanting to do that.

I've had my truck for a few months now and I finally did something about the stock coolant reservoir that was just zip tied to the a/c lines holding it up.

The old, take close notice at the quality silicone work done by the previous owner

The new, its miles away from touching anything, the only drawback I see is when I service the A/C I'm going to have to unbolt it and move it out of the way. My cold air intake is in the mail to help clean it up some more and once I install the trailer fenders I have in the garage I'll add a brace to that tab that's just floating in the front

Overall I'm happy. I have less than $40 into the whole thing, including the genuine GM reservoir, I was even able to reuse my truck cap!

I was even thinking of putting together some sort of a kit and selling them on the forum, but with less than 20 posts I don't know if it'd be ok with the moderators. I figure I'd fare better by sharing it with you guys. If anyone's interested in a parts and price list let me know :favorites37:
 
01 is about to be tubbed, I guess I should go buy some piping to make a CAI for it. eBay here I come...

Do any of you have/hear any issues running a K&N cone filter like that? Maybe ill pick up like .087hp on dat 4.3 :pepper:

If you want it let me know, its just sitting
 
I'm about to make another set of heims for adjusted. thinking about making some 2 extra adaptors to have some ready if anyone wants them. PM me if interested.

How well would they work for static? (or will they) Would it be worth it?
 
here is a legit question, unrelated to bagged/static

My cousin blows through tie rods on his STOCK 06 crew cab, it;s a work truck, deer lease truck, and it hauls a trailer and loads at times. Any possible way to address this? Besides the inners, could it be helpful on his outers?

It's going to make the steering feel a little more responsive. there won't be any more greasing on them and the travel will be further.

if the tierods are getting trashed from being worked so much then the hiems could help. they're stronger than conventional tierods and do not require greasing. it won't do much for the inner joint but it will last longer than outer tierods.

what is involved in converting from normal tie rods to heims for stock suspension. is that was the adapters are for that you mentioned above?

Yeah, the adapters are what I make. so they will screw onto the inner tierods and then the heims screw in the other end. the heims are left hand thread, so that when you take it in for an alignment. they don't have to unbolt anythingto adjust it.
