I totally spaced and forgot time zones were a thing lol. Went to order a 6 bolt fwd flywheel and was too late

Now that I had the hydraulic pedals, I went about installing them on my truck. To get the pedals out, I disconnected the clutch cable and tried getting the whole assembly as one after dropping the column but was unable to get the assembly out as one piece. To get it out, I unbolted the brake...

After a few months of waiting, I found a 4x4 v6 truck at picknpull but the only issue was that it was in Fresno. Fresno is a couple hour drive from my house, and although I knew I needed only a bit of time to get the pedals, I wasn’t sure exactly how the pedals were mounted to the truck. Mine...

After deciding to move forward with the hydraulic clutch conversion, I needed to find a clutch pedal and master assembly. I have seen people use a modified pedal from a 2g eclipse or a starion but I wanted something that required less work. I found out that 4wd v6 trucks have an oem hydraulic...

The day came when I wanted to take the truck to a car meet about a half mile away from my house so I began prepping it for its first drive. We got the bed put back on after finding all the bushings, washers, and nuts that held it on the frame. I also had installed a tial qr blow off valve with...

For the fan wiring, I referenced this diagram from this thread: https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2g-dsm-custom-fan-wiring-does-this-look-right.529550/

Here’s a video of the fan in action

Since the only stuff I had left was mostly cosmetic, I wanted to flush the cooling system. Up to this point I only used distilled water and it would turn orange from all the rust in the block. I needed to wire up the 14” spal fan so the truck wouldn’t overheat when flushing so I found this...

I still had a few buttoning up to do after doing so many changes. I got everything installed and the harness reconnected and before starting it, I turned the fuel pump on and found a few leaks. Sometime in August I installed a fuel lab fuel filter using an evil energy bracket (cut to fit in the...

To backtrack a bit, while waiting on a non-existent water pipe from Amayama, I decided to install a set of rear trim panels I had picked up off a 4wd truck I mentioned earlier. I got super lucky as the interior in that truck was blue and matched mine. From the factory, most 2nd gen trucks didn’t...

Since I changed the half cooling system, I wanted to replace the orings on the water pipe and that’s when I found another problem. The stock mighty max water pipe had begun to rust where the oring sat and while there was still enough there to probably seal, I figured I should just replace it...

Before putting the engine in, I wanted to address an issue that may or may not have mattered in the first place. I initially had the turbo drain made from cut stock drain tubes that were connected by heater hose but the route seemed long and pushed the oil to what was now the back of the pan. I...

With the wiring for the most part done and the engine out of the truck, I decided to paint the engine bay, or at least everything but the firewall. I started by deleting a bracket that was used to support the stock air box by drilling the spot welds. I first sprayed the frame with rust reformer...

Once the wiring was done, I started going after leaks on both the transmission and engine, I noticed the transmission leaking from what looked like between the tailshaft housing and the tuff pan. Being that the po had swapped the tailshaft housing with a starion one and installed the tuff pan, I...

Since I was wiring everything, I wanted everything where it was going to stay so I decided to redo my cooling system. I found a member of the 4g63 rwd facebook group named Luke Stuart who makes/sells billet water manifolds that go to 16an. I opted to get one that went toward the intake side as...
