Negative ghost rider...... I had a buyer lined up and he couldn't wait any longer so I guess I'm keeping them again for now.

WTF. I'd be pissed.

Sorry to recommend them and they dragging their feet. Have they sent you any updates? Seems like we had this talk over a month ago and they were supposed to ship out in couple weeks.

In a way, it's saving me from myself. The current plan is still to put those heads on the tahoe and sell the 862s with the 212/218 cam, beehive springs, CHE rockers, and pushrods I have to some sucker looking for a good simple setup.

I hope they come in soon

Looked at the broken rear handle and I'm unsure if its actually the cable not being pulled enough or if the actuator is worn out. That makes sense because the hatch nor the glass will open right now. Heres a video of what its doing.

Also started on the rear hatch and cargo floor insulation even though the MLV isn't here yet. I forgot I had done some Dynamatt type product on the floor and a few small pieces on the hatch door before. Did another better layer on the floor along with some closed-cell foam from Norico that laid down incredibly well, the adhesive they use is seriously sticky. It didn't seem better yet but I didn't have the interior put back together or the MLV down either. I have enough insulation left to pull the rear seats and do the rear floorboard area as well however, I think I will end up putting small cats back into the system.

I think that actuator is just too weak to fully unlock so I'm gonna take a chance on a $15 replacement from amazon hopefully, that will fix my issue.

My 408 Denali buddy suddenly wants to copy my exhaust setup but I think I'm gonna try something else before I have him order that ridiculously expensive Gibson dual 3"/single 4" muffler. I'm gonna attempt to take one of the Flopro mufflers I have laying around and hack the dual 3" outlet up to adapt a Vibrant merge onto it so that it will essentially be a 4" outlet in a similar-sized package. If it works the way I'm hoping I think it will quiet the system down to the level I'm looking for without the need for cats.

I think I have the AC issue figured out a little better. If I unplug and replug in the sensor on the drier the AC works fine for several days until I go above 3k rpm which it then promptly turns off and will not come on again until that sensor is fondled. So strange but the new sensor should be here Saturday.

As for the exhaust, I canceled the order of the Vibrant merge pipe and ordered some 3" pipe to make a J tube with like @Sam Harris suggested a while back. I'm fairly certain the noise that's bothering me is pure drone because outside the truck the exhaust doesn't seem that loud. Inside is a whole different animal and it's most noticeable at low RPM like 1,200-1,800 even worse when I'm lugging the poor thing around in 4th and 5th gear at low speeds. So the plan is to do an 18-20" tube directly off the over axle pipe right behind the final muffler and have it hidden in the spare tire location. Should be fairly easy since the over axle pipe has a V band so It can be removed for the cutting and welding.
