The wife’s Mallverlander, let’s make it cool

After some debate, and looking at some doffeeent vehicles, she has decided letting me work some magic on her whip is the way to go. So, now I acquire parts.

Here’s the breakdown of my plans

Engine:

MAF sensor (GM)
CCV to catch can (Corsa)
Heater hoses (GM)
Metal heater hose fittings (Dorman)
Cold air intake (Airaid)
New radiator (Cold Case)
Water pump
(A lot of the cooling stuff has been replaced recently)

Drivetrain:

Full fluids (Redline synthetic)
Tranny filter (GM)
Torque converter (Dalenzie)
Front cv shafts (high articulation stock replacements)
Thermal bypass (PPE)
Tranny tune

Suspension/ steering:

Front unit bearings (SKB)
Tie rod ends and sleeves (Kryptonite)
Front control arms (DirtKing upper/new open lower)
Shocks (DirtKing 2.0 IFP)
Rear control arms (Spohn)
Panhard (Spohn)
Mag ride delete (Magdelete.com)
Rear springs (Arnott Hummer H2 coil springs)
Sway bar links

Other shit:

Front window tint
Wheels and tires (depending on her choices haha)

Should be a solid refresh, I’m sure other things will pop up.

Knocked out some of the maintenance items today. Looking good for 190k miles

Was chasing an annoying coolant leak that would show its face sometimes and other times you wouldn’t see it for a few days. Was leaking from the coolant bottle , dripping on to the tray below, and then running towards the front of the truck and dripping on the lower radiator hose connection so it looks like the leak is coming from there.

Threw a new coolant bottle in , replaced those problematic plastic heater fittings with some aluminum ones, new heater hoses, added a catch can that is routed between the PCV and Manifold, drained and filled both biffs. Brakes are flushed. Tranny and transfer case. Power washed the crossmembers. Put some Steel It on the rear differential cover
