More progress. Did the resistor install this morning. Now the temp adjusts as it should Problem 2 solved Replaced the expansion valve and used an add a can to check. Can see some grime in the high side port but nothing screaming obvious for reasoning for failure. AC blows nice and cold now...

Minor update Well woke up today and Texas chose violence with 100+* weather with 70% humidity so I chose to back out of pulling carpet and sound deadening today. Instead I choose to try to figure out my air conditioning issues since we’re moving into a nice hot summer here in north Texas...

Tips arrived today. Unfortunately they weren’t quite what I wanted ordered but after hanging them up for a test look I actually liked how they look so I had the shop zip them on and call it a day. They look slightly big right now but I think once I get a spare mounted they will look more...

Exhaust is 95% finished. The tips I had the shop order didn’t end up showing up but they ran the piping - dual in into flowmaster 40 series with dual straight out at the bumper. 3.5” black tips will hopefully arrive within the next day or two and I’ll swing back by for them to slap them in...

Well, a little behind schedule but the H3 is back at my place now! Had to wait a few extra days to get a ride from my place to the ex’s where the truck has been sitting (about 45 minutes one way). Drove great all the way, and boy what a difference with the 3 extra cylinders when trying to...

Got the oil changed today and hung the skid plates under the truck. I realized I forgot to keep the front bumper bar for the front skid plate so I have to do without it unfortunately. I started pulling the seats and carpet out of the Alpha since mine have seen better days. I’ll end up using the...

Got the wiring all buttoned up, coolant and washer tanks secured, the truck lifted back to around 23”, the battery connected with my shut off switch, partially charged the A/C (need one more can), and got the hood put back on. Also tinkered with the shift linkage and found I didn’t lock it in...

More progress! Swapped a couple pedal signal wires around and all the error messages went away! Plugged in my code reader and only had a couple codes for crank positioning needing re-learn which is no big deal. She idles nice and smooth with great throttle response. Decided to enjoy the...

Another productive day! Set myself up to finish the wiring today. Finished up the BCM plug and loomed everything up. Then I moved over to the driver side to get a couple loose wires tied up over there. Jumped underneath the truck and tried snaking the exhaust through. After about 15 minutes...

Back to updates with pictures! Tackled the fuel lines today. Like my previous post the Alpha fuel lines won’t work without kinking the braided portion. You can kind of see in the picture below the angles of the hard lines when they’re attached to the motor The body side of the Alpha lines run...

Well progress has been made today, however I don’t have any photos to go along with the update unfortunately. Motor mounts fully installed and tightened. Fought with the passenger side motor mount bolt for a bit longer but finally got it inserted. Would have been easier to either pull the AC...

I didn’t look close enough during the tear down to see what kind of oil pan clearance there was underneath and I was worried about being able to get the truck up high enough to slide the transmission under the truck and the unit over the rear crossmember the transfercase sits above, while...
