Tore the pillar apart to rearrange my gauges. Also to redo the wiring above the e-brake where the senders sit. I also have the throttle pedal and cable out because I'm only getting 90% throttle. Can you believe the pedal was loose at the panel???

Went nuts on the Ty today: new front hub assemblies, new CV axles, and the front shocks that are the same line as the rears I put on a couple of weeks ago. I also did an oil change on her and got rid of the orange POS filter and went with a Wix. Afterwards, I was driving her and heard a scraping coming from the driver's side. :rant: So, back off with the front wheel and found out the dust shield got a little bent and got up against the inside edge of the rotor. No damage to the rotor, just had to bend the dust shield back into position.

I didn't do all this today but my 92 is starting to come back together.
I started the winter aiming to paint the car, took the fenders off and then the"while I got it apart" bug bit me.
I had my exhaust ceramic coated, powder coated a lot of engine parts, upgraded the throttle body and I gave it a shot at porting the upper intake and intercooler inlet.
I am awaiting my new ac compressor to arrive in the mail in the meantime i got the bypass pulley so that I can hopefully fire it up this weekend.

Went to the salvage yard yesterday morning and pulled a rear sway bar and hardware from a 96 Jimmy. Finished up the install on my Ty today using an Energy Suspension kit for the end links. Took it for a test drive, and wow! Along with the work I did earlier installing the lowering blocks and putting performance shocks on it, she handles like a completely different truck now. Doesn't handle like a Sy or Ty with a coilover suspension, but handles a whole lot better than she used to. :tup:

Working on pulling the Trans out. Currently trying to get the Transfercase out. Dropped off the spare Trans at the shop Friday. Oh how fun :?

Finished installing my Autometer Boost gauge I bought from T-Bone.
Took it for a run and confirmed my suspicions about it boost spiking to 14psi, while running less than this most of the time
If I increase it, it overboosts. More work to do.
