Not a thing but I did get this Big 3 kit delivered today and got one step closer to ordering my Whipple blower. Justin at BBP is trying to finalize a price for me. This 1/0 wire is huge.

U should have got Tinned OFC wire so it doesn't corrod under the hood and tinned copper lugs for same reason... I use to use CCA wire like that and it would corrod after about a year.

Love how the truck sounds, and about the non working odometer if you mean trip odometer mine didn't work either there's a choice on the DIC to set it up not sure if you have the controls on you wheel? I thought mine was broken too reset it when I got it never worked did a couple things under the DIC it works mint now if that's what's causing your issue

Just ordered a MAX center engine cover. Haven't ordered the side pieces yet, but I thought I read something somewhere that the side covers needed a special clip or bolts to mount. Anybody got pics or parts #'s for mounting them properly.

Nothing fancy. Just need the bolts. The bottom two bolt to the valve cover and top one in the intake.

Yea I figured the top one just went on like the original, just wondered if there was a bracket that I needed to order, but I did see the bolts you speak of on a schematic of the engine equipped with them.

Amazon. Skyhighcaraudio kit. $45.

Is it CCA or 100% copper? I spent about $20 on 10' of 1/0 100% copper welding cable (all black and used red cable lug covers on the hot sides) ~$10 on tubular cable lugs. ~$10 Marine grade dual walled adhesive shrink and ~$10 split loom. I also dropped ~$40 on a hydraulic crimper which is awesome. Makes the job so easy!
I got this one:

HF has the same thing:

I don't see a fuse in the kit? Are you planning to run one?

I did a big three when I replaced my alternator, and swapped in a smaller pulley. If you've got some left over maybe do the big 4 or upgrade your starter wire. Started up quicker, and really helped with voltage drop on mine. Windows rolled up a bit faster too.

Honestly, I didn't NEED it since I ran a stock stereo and no aftermarket big draw electrical components, but I figured it was time to fix up the grounds since I could see lights dimming at times. It was less expensive than factory replacement cables, and a fun little project.

Also a complete waste of money since the damn thing got totalled out a month or so after that...

Ah it is CCA? Yeah that's why I didn't get a kit they all seemed to be cca.
