Sure thing I'm going to go pick up two new o-rings. I really hope that an LS2 one does end up fitting, if not I'll test the two-stacked idea.

What's up with the prices of fittings? Aeroquip fittings in the range of $30-40? Seriously?? This is the cheapest one I could find, and it STILL came in anodized blue oh well, not for long..

And does anyone know what causes this corrosion? This is the 3rd mirror that's ended up like this, I thought rock chips.. but that many? Maybe it has something to do with our west coast air..

Again, a flywheel spacer is NOT required for the flat truck 6.0L flywheel, but it should be needed for the wavy truck 5.3L flexplate.

Anyways, I didn't find that tidbit of info until this was already ordered and on it's way, but this is what the spacer looks like...
