Saturday to Sunday was marathon of 22hrs activity finishing wiring harness, installing new pcm, and burning a chip at 5:00 am for the new engine computer. Yesterday was spent with the family and the truck at the antique truck show in Barrington, NH (awesome trucks). Today I get time with the laptop to actually tune this thing so it gets better than 5mpg!!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Pictures please? I could use some help in the wiring department and it sounds like you know what you're doing.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Pictures of the swap?? Sorry, none taken during the work. I'm not good at taking them anyway and I was trying to pack about 30 hrs of work into that time. I can get pictures of the finished results and will gladly help with any specific questions though.

Drove it up and down the street, the windows work and most everything, except the brake lights. Loaded the new MC and booster in plus fluid to to take to the shop to be installed. I am too old to lay under there and do it myself. lol.

I roughed out a pair of patch panels for my lower kick panels. I made a bender { sort of a brake] that fits in the 20ton press to bend the 1" raidius and bent a couple parts. Tomorrow I will make a 2" T dolly for some hand work. and if the breaze is kind to me I can weld in the toe board patch.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I don't have any problem laying under the thing! the problem is getting back up:lol: and every time I get on the floor I find that I have everything but what I need:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Me neither, good excuse for a nap, wife thinks I am being productive.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Ha, old knees and bifocals take the fun out of it.

Ordered a new gas gauge in 30 ohm to match my autometer set, the new tank is a 59 impala and it was easier to replace the gauge than try to change out the pickup tube and sender.

Note to manufactures, why not make a sender that fits these tanks in 90 ohm and sell it?
