New tank is installed!! Very high quality piece from Boyd's tanks. Craftsmanship is top notch. My only quibble was with the placement of the vent/rollover valve - it's right under one of the bed braces making it very difficult to get to. 3" more to the front and it would have been perfect. Oh well, I just put the hose on before I put the tank up in the hole. Other than than that, I would highly recommend it.
While I had the tank out I also redid my fuel filler neck with a bigger pipe (2"). When I had originally put the filler neck together, I used an 1.75" pipe and then flared the end that connects to the tank which was a 2". It worked most of the time, but if I got a gas pump the flowed really fast, it would burp fuel. So this time, I used 2" pipe for the entire piece. I know that's not a lot bigger, but that's all the room I have up in the bedside. Hopefully it let everything flow a little better than the other one. I also welded a bracket to the pipe to mount it to the bed floor. The tie wrap I've had on there for the last 4 years needed to go :lol: |

Rob, Do you have any more info about the fuel door/lamp housing install? Do you know what donor vehicle the hinge came from? How is it fastened? I am planning to do the same install for my filler. One more question, how did it fill at the station? plenty of flow? thanks |

It's just for show. This truck does not run on gas... It runs on plutonium. He has one of these in the buddy console

Re: 68 S/C update.....
This thing is looking amazing. Are you still working on the tranny program? I got my '09 dialed in pretty good but I am still not happy with my power downshift.
This truck has a lot of parts that I am interested in. The Dakota Digital gauges you have how did you work the OBDII interface? Also, did you get the boost referance gauge from DD? I may have missed it, but how did you hook the paddle shifter up to the trans and is it the only thing used to shift the trans? |

http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showth...Table-Software I used the Dakota digital BIM -01-1 OBDII interface. I have a NGK wideband that has a display and plugs into my HPTuners interface so I can also datalog it. The paddle shifters have a wireless interface that connects to the Tap up Tap down (TUTD)wire the Speartech pulled when he build my harness. The only way an A6 can be shifted "manually" is with a TUTD switch. |
Re: 68 S/C update.....
No big updates. Just fine tuning a few things. The new tank and filler tube are working great. I have filled it several times and other than having to be careful when it's almost full, I have had zero problems.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
