Installed my k&n intake and dry charger. Ssssshhhhhh choooooo 
I managed to take a little video last summer when my 02 Silverado rolled over 200k miles (321868km for you metric types).The Bomb's total miles is about 88k, but I personally just passed 55,555.5 miles.
I was able to take a practice pic, but the camera died just prior to the moment with no where to turn off... bummer for me.
Also left my car at my local independent shop today. They programmed my BCM for my fogs, did oil and filter and tire rotation. Currently at 11091mi (17849km)
Did this...

Also started installing my Garmin backup camera.

Today, I fixed an oil leak that stemmed from me not getting the oil return tube fully tightened from when I reinstalled the turbo, which I removed for the purpose of replacing the coolant line that runs behind it.
I tried to replace the oil return tube without removing the cat. That was a mistake. Oil was dripping right on the cat and making a hell of a smoky mess.
Getting that front cat retaining nut off was a serious piece of work. Halfway off, the rear side retaining clip decided to stop retaining so everything was just spinning and not coming off.
Luckily, I was able to remove the band clamp along with the 3 nuts that connect the cat to the exhaust pipe. There was also another bracket but that came off easily.
So with all that off, and the O2 sensor harness disconnected, I was able to move the cat around and there, underneath, I spotted my opening. I had just enough room to get a long sawzall blade in there and was able to cut that last stud and free the cat.
With the cat removed, the source of the oil leak was obvious and I was able to tighten up the oil return tube.
The cat currently has 3 out of 4 connection points in place and there’s no unwanted movement.
So dirty...
