yeah i seen those! they look amazing! 475 for the coated ones isnt bad considering my pacesetters on my 08 CCSB cost 540.00 with the ORY pipe.

i may put a 220 cam in it with a 3200 stall, 3:73 and a tru-trac. im gonna stay with my mud tires so im sure itll be a huge shock when an ecsb obs on mud tires beats them lmao

anyone know about those twist-tite fittings i have? should i use them or just go with SS braided lines

i gotta call summit tomorrow and order the new fittings. im thinking of sumping my gas tank like you did in the how to thread redheartbeat. the trucks gonna be a DD with hardly no track time. itll more than likely just get a few passes and some street racing. but mainly a work truck.

redheartbeat is there any videos of your truck or track times?

There are three others of my truck in there, bergundy 93 with chrome front and black rear wheel with slicks sticking out of the fenderwells.

well had to call summitracing this morning! the guy who helped me said the 800-154 would work, well it didnt. it's a freaking 5/16 tube i should have paid more attention. well it's fixed i have the 800-155 on the way and my SS fittings too.
im in the process of pulling the motor. i have everything out the way and the AC on the side (not upside down) i have to take the hood off and pull it. then onto cleaning, painting, and getting the harness out the truck and ready for the new one. then i have to take the throttle cable out and get the 98 like redheartbeat mentioned. i also need to figure out how to keep my cruise control (is that ran off the stock computer?) if so can i just leave it hooked up and tuck the wires behind the dash neatly?

04 drive by wire harness/PCM compbinations cruise is controlled by the PCM, no external cruise module, just hook the control wires to the PCM. You'll need a diagram to see what wire goes where.

Signal wires from cruise switch go to Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module mounted on firewall with the 2004 DBW system. TAC send UART message to PCM for cruise operation, PCM sends Class2 message to stock IPC (you don't have) to turn on the cruise light.

Here is where the wires go TAC-wise...

No rebalance on a carrier bearing swapout unless you did something to bend the shaft. If you're building for racing then have the shaft balanced anywhere from 6000 to 5500 RPM, if you can find someone in your area to do that.
