Making good progress I see, it won't be long now!! I like the tires, I have not seen them in person yet though, and I think the headlights should look awesome! Thanks for the update.

No Problem sir, I'm just praying nothing is wrong in the drive-line. I have a whole plan for my axles/drive-line here in the next year anyway. As long as there aren't any other issues after the service/inspection, I should have the truck by this coming Friday morning/afternoon I believe. New rubber will go on Friday too.

Just out of curiosity I noticed in your short block assembly pictures it looks like the timing marks weren't lined up via factory marks? Am I mistaken? Or is there a reason behind that?

They definitely are worth imo. Between the Icon springs, OUO ALA's' and Traction Block setup, hellwig sway bars and fox reservoir shocks, I'm blown away at how well it rides And handles for an 8000+ lb truck

Oh and btw, Midwest Diesel Competition 5r Trans. Holy F****** Sh*t. I wish I'd got one when I first bought the truck. Possibly one of the best things about this setup is the Trans and the way it shifts. Big Thanks to Morgan @ Midwest for a kickass tranny.

FYI - that first video is the new cts 2. I just took it for people to see its a little different from the original cts. I like it better for sure!
