Thanks Dennis. Much appreciated and 100 imaginary rep points to you my friend.

menace121978 · 03-26-2010, 10:05 AM

anytime buddy!

i'm just glad i dont live out there and happen to be looking for a fuel rail!!!

STOCKISH · 03-26-2010, 12:48 PM

shhhhhhhh!

STOCKISH · 03-28-2010, 04:02 PM

OK, got the truck manifolds cleaned, painted and installed. Fit like a glove. Got the power steering lines re routed and hooked up. Used a fitting from an old pump (thanks to a generous board member who had an extra)and put it in the back of the 6.0s pump for the pressure line. Also got the trucks OE harness (or whats left of it) stripped down to a minimun and routed out of site to the starter, and oil press. sender and wrapped in the split loom. Still waiting on the F6 wrap for the rest of the harness. Once it gets here I'll wrap the engine harness and mount the computer and hook her all up. Once thats done I'll hit it with some throttle body cleaner just to hear her run until I get time to take it to the shop and remove the bed and do the fuel system how I want. I already have ALL the parts so it stinks waiting on time to finish it. Guess being busy at work is a good problem to have. Heres some pics before John says something!

VA72C10 · 03-28-2010, 04:23 PM

looking good!!!

buckshot305 · 03-28-2010, 06:23 PM

Great work! I got a couple questions for you. Are you running the 6.0's clutch fan or e fans? If your running the clutch fan, were there any clearance issues with the c10's fan shroud? Also, its hard to tell in the last set of pictures, but are you running the A/C compressor? Were there any clearance issues?

Nevermind - i just answered both my questions by looking closer. Sorry

menace121978 · 03-28-2010, 09:27 PM

SWEET!!! nice job Josh! sure looks good in there. did you have to notch the frame rail for the manifold on the pass. side? cant even tell in the pics...

STOCKISH · 03-28-2010, 10:49 PM

I will just to be safe. It's not touching right now but it's darn close. Thanks for all the compliments guys.

85burb · 03-28-2010, 11:58 PM

Did the factory manifold fit good on passenger side?

menace121978 · 03-29-2010, 12:22 AM

thats what we were talking about. it fits really good but is SUPER close to the frame rail at the collector area.

79gmc5.3 · 03-29-2010, 06:20 AM

Jonboy · 03-29-2010, 09:08 AM

Looks great Josh. I will PM you my number, just because. I might as well have people from the board to talk to in all ends of the US.

STOCKISH · 03-30-2010, 04:48 PM

Well if time allows tonight after my youngin goes to bed I am going to try to wrap and install my harness and maybe here it FIRE tonight!!! If it does it'll just be off carb cleaner but better than nothing. Heres hoping.

**nlped** · 03-30-2010, 05:18 PM

Good Luck!!!

JohnC · 03-30-2010, 08:48 PM

Looks awesome man.

menace121978 · 03-30-2010, 10:26 PM

well..... Did she fire?

STOCKISH · 03-30-2010, 10:48 PM

No fire tonight fellas. I did have time to wrap my harness and lengthen all the wires I needed to so I could route the harness where I wanted to. My girl was the best helper I could have asked for. She sat there all night and helped me solder and shrink wrap the whole thing! I am very impressed with the harness wrap. It's called F6 wrap if anyone wants to Google it. Heres the link to where I bought the stuff if anyone wants some. Here is the final product.

menace121978 · 03-30-2010, 10:53 PM

looks really good Josh!

did you get the "f6 kit"? and are you routing everything in the cab or on the inner fender? hope mine looks that clean!!

menace121978 · 03-30-2010, 10:55 PM

oh yea, just wondering do you have to use the van's coolant reservoir? and how did you do your tranny cooler lines?

STOCKISH · 03-30-2010, 11:27 PM

I did get the F6 kit and added 6 feet of 2 inch to do the main section of the harness. I should have got 1 1/2" because the 2 inch was too big. I havent hooked up the trans cooler lines yet but I am actually thinking of just hooking them into the factory cooler on the radiator. I am not sure yet though.

Silly question, why would I have to use the vans reservoir? Didnt know if there was something I'm not thinking about. I am just using the factory 86 reservoir now.
