On monday, they told me 4-5 more days to build them, then 3 to ship them.
Ok big update. Worked on the truck alot today. If I had wheels, I would be driving it around right now. Thats how much I got done.
Ok first i removed and painted the u-bolts, didn't paint them b4 I put them on.
Then I hooked up my hydro-assist and plumbed it up and got it working.
Then I hooked up my brakelines. The front 1555's bolted directly to the truck, did not have to drill out the blocks at the calipers the banjo bolts were a direct fit, if anyone wants to know...
better picture of the rear axle installed on the truck.
Now, this is where i show pictures of how I have my brakelines set-up, since i switch from discs/drums to discs/discs. According to n3elz there is a valve that the rear brakeline goes into and the valve goes into the master cylinder. My 2003 has the 4wheel abs, but it did not have this valve, the hardline went directly to the ABS pump.
So i disconnected the hardline going to the rear axle and re-bent it and connected it directly to the master cylinder.
Then to plug the open holes left in the ABS pump, i re-bent the small hardline that went from the pump to the master cylinder, to recirc the pump and keep it plugged up.
Finally, can't really tell in this pic, but the truck is in reverse, letting the ring gear throw some lube up onto the pinion to break the bearings in, its been about 6 months since she has been in gear. I put it in 4-lo and it's gonna crawl pretty good with the 5.13's.
Tomorrow i'm going to put the bed onto the truck, cut the fenders out more since the dovetail moved the front of the fender real close to the tire. Now I just wait for my beadlocks, then drive it to the shop, get shocks. Figure out my tranny x-member and front driveshaft situation.
