Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
Just stumbled across your build. Very nice truck and excellent choice in parts.
Any updates?

Quote:
The truck has a lot of squeaks and rattles but I could never diagnose anything since the exhaust was always so ungodly loud. So last month I took it to D3 Performance Engineering and they completed an exhaust system out the back so now I'll be able to start doing some other troubleshooting. The window rubber and guide felts were dried or worn out, so my brother got the windows all torn apart today and we'll be rebuilding them next weekend along with installing a bunch of sound deadening. The factory vacuum brake booster and MC weren't working to well with the Wilwood brakes and idle vacuum from the 5.3 with the cam so we're swapping it over to a Wilwood manual MC to hopefully get the brakes up to par. Sorry I don't have any pictures, but the truck has been at my brothers in Houston for about the last month or 2 for the exhaust and then with the holidays. I'll be up there this next weekend and I'll try to get some pictures of the exhaust and other changes.

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
Haven't posted any updates in quite some time. Wasn't driving the truck for a while after the elevel controller died, but after getting it replaced under warranty I've been trying to drive it at least once a week. Have about 8k miles one the truck but hope to increase that quickly soon.
