Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks Diesel. I will have tunes but no radio in this truck. That is my laptop I can program and adjust my transmition to do anything I want. Yes the pyro/boost is Glowshift I hope it will be ok, so far so good.
Thanks a lot AD.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Last night I finished up with clamping the intake tubes. I also drilled and taped for my boost gauge. I made up this clear plastic adapter to attach my beer tap handle to my shifter. While the shifter was out I mounted the switch for my line lock. I think I will start a collection of handles but love this one for now. It's from a small brewery about 2 hrs from me called Creemore Springs.

Thats things sounds great man!!!! Looking real good on the finishing touches too.

Your boys gotta be lovin' this too!!! ;)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

That shifter handle is too cool!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks ptc. I thought I was a long way from finishing touches but I guess I have been putting some on. COOL! Yes my boys are getting real excited to go for a ride.
Thanks diesel. It's got gears in the middle as well. Kinda suits the truck.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Here is a pic of the screen of the editing software for my transmission. I can easily do anything I want. I can change shift points, make it manual shift, shift like a Cadillac or shift like a drag car. It also shows information on what the trans is doing across the bottom.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I like the control you have with the trans. I'm doing my first automatic build for a guy and Im leaning toward 4l60 or whatever I can get my hands on. Was looking into stand alone controllers. The control factor is a no brainer, even at higher pricing.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

That's pretty cool! Beats what you got with the high dollar PCS!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So today I drove the truck out of the garage to the driveway. Brakes, power steering, transmission, gauges. All working great. I put it up on jack stands to put the transmission through the gears. I even saw 2 psi on the boost gauge. :metal: Vid below

Gotta love that whistle!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Nice, turbo whistle sounds good!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

That's awesome... ready for springtime! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

awesome

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks guys!! One of the reasons for the turbo was the whistle.
Here is a vid of me pulling it out and checking brakes, ps and gears.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

nice!...hey what's all that white stuff on the ground? someone pop open a bag of flour? :haha:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

iowaboynca That's nothing I only shoveled 3 times this year. We had grass showing a week ago. Going to be 5*C or 41*F on Friday :)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Very nice! Are you going to paint the hood and visor black later too?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Totally bad! In an impressive way I mean.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks. I'm leaving the paint the way it is with just the clear coat till I get a bigger shop. Then some sort of 2 tone paint.
Thanks AD

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Just watched your video. Love the sound of that motor. Do you have to keep the leash on so it doesn't run off :lol:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

:haha::haha::haha:
We had a little space heater in the cab. I don't have my 12v heater in yet.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

This will be my last update for 2 weeks as my GF and I are going on holidays tomorrow to British Columbia. Vancouver/ Vancouver island area. I will be keeping up to date tho.
So Monday I found out the plastic I used for my shifter adapter does not like -25*C -13*F. So I made this new one out of brass.
