Re: Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel

We just finished off a sick exhaust system for the truck a couple hours ago. Took it to the local watering hole for a celebratory beverage. I found out through process of elimination that my vacuum modulator on the trans took a dump on me while hanging out doing nothing. Replaced that and the thing shift pretty good. I think I have some tuning to do as it shift to second really quick and takes a while (imo) to get into third. But between the adjustable vacuum mod. and the VRV on the IP I should be able to tune it quite a bit. The exhaust is LOUD!! I also need to do somthing about the crank case vapor and all the holes in the firewall, that I'm not using now. I should also have my boost gauge so I can see whats going on there, by monday, and later this week I should have the truck over to the tuner to make sure I have the IP in the right spot. The quick report now that the trans shift just about right is that the truck hauls the mail. My diesel buddy drove it tonight for the first time and just said wow. 1/4 throttle is more than enough around town. If I can keep my brain cells rolling in the right lane I'll pack my camera and get some more video of it moving.
