So with the days getting shorter and not leaving my second job until 9:00 or so, I've found self driving almost exclusive in the dark during the week. Which translates to the headlights being on. Well, the electrical system in the SS is barely enough to support the stock vehicle. Throw on top of that electric fans and a stereo system, you get dimming head lights. So I decided to upgrade the battery and see how much that would help, before getting an HO alternator. To my surprise, just switching to a high quality battery solved 99% of my dimming issues. Enough words, let the pictures begin...

Oh Yeah, D3400 with 551 side post adapters.

The D3400 fit like a glove. I had to "modify/clearance" the opening for the side post terminals on the battery cover, but you can't even tell there is a bad ass battery under the hood. Just the way I like things.

was it hard to change the dash lights? do you have a parts list? thanks

The dash wasn't hard. The damn wiper switch was the pain in the ass. Don't really have a parts list. Just straw hat LEDs and the resistors to go with them. off of ebay. The cluster takes patience. I had to take it in and out numerous times to position the LEDs where they wouldn't have bright spots and light up the needles.

Crazy clean work!!! It's always good to see more people from OK on here.

Thanks, it's appreciated.

Beatless. Thought I was trading the SS in today so ripped out the system, dealer didn't want to come to an agreement, and now still have the SS. I think it was a sign I'm so post to keep it. But now I'm Beatless and have a fresh canvas. Oh the thoughts running through my head....

Second phase has been put into motion. Got an additional p200-2, p165-s, q logic kick panels, and misc stuff ordered today. I'm sure the "boss" will be pissed when that stuff gets here.

I think I've seen this TBSS before... You ever down in the Stephens county area? Slick build, nice and clean. I can definitely tell that your a little further up in age than most of the members here, in a good way.
