Re: What did you get done?

Made a little more progress:

Got the ECE engine mounts in on Tuesday.
Friday 17th: Gathered up items to take to the shop. Picked up a Pinout sheet for the PCM (only to find out it was the wrong one on Sunday)

Saturday 18th: and took a load of missed items up to the shop and started putting the steering together. Put the front brake lines on. Cinched up the stainless caliper lines and found a single stud crossmember that will work with the trans mount and the turbo app. Pulled the exhaust pipes off the manifolds, removed the compressor, removed the EGR, Torque converter, starter and put the ECE engine mounts on and dropped it into the mounts and it fits rather nicely. Rremoved the cab from the frame and positioned the trans in for mockup so we have an idea on what we are going to do for fuel lines. Pulled the bed back off so we could re-mount the Blazer tank back in the frame and get everything laid out for routing of the fuel lines and so we can notch the cross sill to clear the top of the blazer tank. We also are laying out the routing of the fuel fill.


Sunday 19th: Since nothing was open, I picked up a transmount and fuel filter. Got the transmount cleaned up and mounted it up to the trans and drilled the holes in their new location. Pulled the fuel lines off and removed 90% of the harness from the Engine. Once it was off we started pulling the harness apart to trace all the wires (several were cut and missing the ends) Once we got everything laid out I realized that they gave me the 2WD version instead of the 4x4 version.
