Re: Crash's 69 K10
Did you happen to check your fuel mileage on the trip? Just curious as to how the 5.3 did pushing that truck down the interstate.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
No.. I didn't really check it.. I did not fill the tank all the way full because I have not installed the vent line yet and did not want any gas to slosh out. I had a 1/4 of a tank before I left and put 8 gallons in tank on top of the ¼ tank. I had a little less than a 1/4 when I get to my house. 150 miles.. I would guess I used ~ 9 gallons.. so 17mpg ?? This is just a guess really.. As far as pushing the truck it did a great job.. I used the cruise control for most of the trip set on 75mph, and it may have kicked down to 3rd once or twice on some of the steeper hills.. I am very, very pleased with how it moves the truck.. I think the stock 350 may have had 200hp, the 315 the 5.3 has makes a difference.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Man I just read your whole build, somehow I managed to miss it.
I will admit when you first started, I never though that truck would wind up looking this nice again. You did one hell of a job getting it brought back around and making it right. She looks damn good. I am really looking forward to seeing it finished.

Cruise Control? I did not think these trucks came with cruise control, so I assume you added the feature? If so, how did you go about it? I would love to have cruise control in mine when I get to that point. I am going to re-read your thread and see if I missed something. |

Thanks.. I have a 5.3 installed and used the cruise control functions built into the PCM to implement it. I used a Dakota Digital HND-3 control and a custom circuit to adapt it to the PCM functions. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=496 http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...prod/prd50.htm

Re: Crash's 69 K10
I just read through your entire thread today!! Pheww its a long one but gave me a lot of good ideas cause im am doing the exact same thing on mine. Well minus the digital gauges prolly. I have to say your truck is absolutely amazing. I like wiring but im wondering if I should attempt rewiring my harness or just pay someone else to do it to save me the time, And I don't really have enough room to spread out and do it. Anyway Ill be watching this one and hope you don't mind me picking your brain a lot!! LOL

I do have a question thought. My 5.3 is a 2006 supposedly and I need to know if I can eliminate what I assume is the EGR from the exhaust manifold in favor of the manifolds like yours? I could be wrong as to what it is.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
I'm trying to figure out how you get so much done on that truck with it being in Eufala and you having a job too.
Kyle will have that knocked out in short order. Posted via Mobile Device
