I've been spending the weekdays in Wyoming for work and haven't had much time for projects on the weekends between keeping the house going and trying to spend time with family. I've got two more weeks in Rock springs.

Wow, your post made laugh....

I at one time bought a 89 suburban non running, it was a no start issue....

I dug into it and spent maybe 200 as I got all used sensors, and parts... I wanted to leave the gastank as the last gas*( no pun intended)* I replaced everything my brain could thing of... so next thing was... hyou guessed it.. the gas tank... turns out... the filler hose( as I like to call it) was split... exactly the same as yours..... I had no codes... yet I had spark... air.... no ecm issues... but had no fuel.... WE all know many sensors cause a no fuel issue... I just went threw a no spark issue on a 89 s15 jimmy 4.3l... and sure ennough, it was the intake water tempeture sensor......


I am looking forward to the rest of this thread and your build... cheers...

Sorry for the slow response, my Internet's been down. Funny thing you should bring up the fuel pump. Last weekend I went out to move it, started right up ran for five seconds then died. I could here the fuel pump prime, but no fuel to the TBI. I figured it was a bad fuel pump. Me and my brother pulled the bed off again and sure enough the same hose to the pump had split. So I bought some high pressure hose and swapped that in.

Finally, I've had some time to work on the 93!

Last weekend I finished up the exhaust. I ran the drivers side past the trany then Y into the passenger. I also put a high flow cat and a 3 chamber muffler with a down pipe just past the cab. Its sound pretty good for a V6. (Sorry no pics.) While under the truck, I also put a carrier bearing spacer in, its a two inch rise just enough so the drive line clears the cab. I'll make sure to take some pictures this weekend.

Looking good man. Anything new on either truck? Looks like to me you need to start a build thread for you black truck also.

O i finally put up some pics of my 97 under the builds. Take a look if ya get a chance.

I didn't start a build thread on the black one because I didn't plan on taking it as far as I did; but as circumstances made me rearrange priorities I ended up spending more time and money on the black truck than I expected too. Plus, I'm taking a lot of parts off the white truck and putting them on the black truck as I go so it's kinda the same thing....

In recent weeks I've been spending time on the black because the pass-lock-security-system has been giving me fits. I seem to have figured out the system by cutting the yellow wire in the ignition, which was real fun to figure out.

As far as the white truck goes, I ordered a two link and panhard bar--still waiting for that to show up. I'm hoping that shows up this weekend, if not I'm going to pull the tranny cross-member out and try to raise it a couple of inches.

I'll be checking your build right about now...
