Trans cooler is in and plumbed. No leaks first try! I should have taken a picture before I put the grill in, but I was in a hurry to wrap it up. Lunch was calling. I hate making AN lines, but I love them when they're done.
After lunch I filled the T-case (oops!), topped off the trans fluid (too much I think) and dumped a bottle of radiator cleaner in it and gave it it's first full heat cycle. ECT held steady at 196° and the trans temp was right around 145°. Should be ready for actual coolant tomorrow. I noticed it had a slight idle hang when slowing down. Not sure if that's a function of less resolution from the VSS, or something else. I can work on that later. There are still lots of little loose ends to tie up, but as of right now I'm saying it's ready for emissions testing.
Loose ends off the top of my head:
Full clean up. Needs a wash and interior detail. There's an inch of dust on everything from sitting for two years and the bed is full of leftovers.
Radiator overflow jug.
Tires. A set of raised white letter 31x10.5-R15's should look fantastic on that truck.
Hook up the tach,
Add a brake switch signal to the PCM (maybe?)
Hook a 4wd low signal to the PCM
Loom all the wires.
It's so much nicer working on this in the driveway and not in the dirt in the backyard!
