While I had them out, I cleaned up, sanded, and painted the front shocks. Funny how clear coated stainless will rust like they did this past winter.
How did you not have this much difficulty changing manifolds the first time Don? Was it because of suspension parts being replaced?

Thankfully you didn’t choose to paint it green or orange......It appears you used studs on that cover too? I believe the upgrade hardware kit is going to be a new option too. We have a great hardware supplier here locally (read patriot type guy) who wholesales and I want to use him as much as possible.
Getting there, looks good.I did order the PPE setup for mine today and a new turbo wheel. Think I have about $5k in parts to go on the LBZ so I need to get that thread going again!I see many retailers are using that same tuner you listed above.

You don't remember, but when I first installed that cover, I asked you what was the best way, and you told me to use studsSo I purchased a piece of threaded rod and cut out a bunch of studs from it, and the rest is history...

Hey, JRI'll put up that Diesel Ops link next couple days so you can order your parts through them so we can cash in at the site...if it isn't too late.
From what I've read the LML trans is nothing like the old version of the Allison. It's held some pretty hefty HP with just a TC change.
