I did the fuel lines like your first photos. It's been like 6 years and around 30k miles maybe? No issues.
Good to hear. The purple was a “hey, look what I found” moment. Probably stick with the original plan and use the pre made lines.

Do you have a plug next to the A/C dryer that doesn’t go to anything? It’s next to the low pressure switch, which I have plugged in already.

Yes, nothing goes into that plug. I believe it's for the factory dual battery setup...

Sweet truck man. I looked for one like that (RCSB V8) that wasn't a total piece of junk for months before I decided to buy this one. Something about the single cabs, they are just really good looking trucks to me. I found a 1 owner v8, but it was about a 4hr drive one way, and some things in the photos made me talk myself out of it. It was a manual too, figure not many of those were made.
Anyways, I'm following. I recently bought HPTuners too, and will be learning as well. Good luck man.

Thanks! RCSB are getting really hard to find in decent shape. V8s are usually pretty beat up around my area. I ended up with this really nice v6 truck and decided to swap it. It’s been a lot of work and money. More like a snow ball, “I’m already here i might as well do it”

Hptuner is so much fun. Also search blue cat trans tuner. It makes trans tuning easier.

Most have mine have been regular cabs too, though I think they get worked to death. Last one I sold was a step away from the scrap pile.

My goodies from Nitrous Express arrived. I’ve been busy doing family man stuff so haven’t had a chance to do anything yet.


I bought the 3 bolt nitrous plate kit with bottle. I now have 5 bottles, they are all blue NOS bottles and I needed a white bottle because I’m OCD. Also got a Nitrous express Progressive controller to help with traction and help with abuse. Lastly a NX switch panel that replaces the cubby by the headlight switch.

I’ve ways ran my bottles the the bed, but I’m thinking about putting this one in the cab since this truck will get a lot of miles and thieves suck.

Been a busy week, I’ve put in 71 hrs since Monday morning and still have 7 more days on call.

I decided to stay with the 3 bolt throttle body because it works well and I just don’t care to deal with the extra BS thats involved doing the nnbs/tbss intake for the power levels that this truck with NA. And later down the road if it gets a procharger then it doesn’t matter either.

Here’s some pics of the nitrous stuff.
