    I’ll try to remember that. I just bought two different hoses for the bends in the hard line to see which one made for the better fit with everything. With mechanical fan and shroud, real estate is getting pretty slim in that area. Thanks, I’m trying to take my time and do it right/nice the...

    LS swap

    If doing DBW then the 95-2000 Silverado 6.5 diesel, you will need to switch some pins around or buy a reworked pedal to tac harness (will need to know which model TAC module you have as well).
