Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
I've not had a chance to check yet. I just started the first of 6 nights. I'll check them when I'm off next and post what shows and hopefully a fix.

Puking pulling it's all the same isn't it?
At least when the phone spell incorrector steps in to say what I'm really trying to say. It was pretty awful either way.

x2 on the 5-oh injectors, great choice. I've witnessed two sets of them fix rough running/starting 454s. I have a set waiting to go in mine. Also a 0411 w/Blackbear tune. Just need the time.
You may have solved any fuel issues you had and now something else is showing, the distributors on these things will notoriously wear out and cause the timing to jump around. There is a procedure for setting them, I'd have to look it up if you're not already familiar.

Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
I'll have an update soon. Both of my in law's passed away within a month and a half of each other plus my wife and I caught the Wuhan flu.
It's definitely fuel pump related I just haven't had a chance to pull it. I should have changed the in tank harness when I installed the new pump or maybe a bad pump. It was a Delco however.

Thanks! We're both fine now. She was a pretty sick girl for about 10 days while I only ran a fever parts of three.

He was a vietnam vet and a great guy. Until the last few years he was always ready to pack up and go whenever I asked him. We made a lot of swap meets and such. My mother in law was wonderful too. I don't believe she cared for me that much 41 years ago, but I grew on her.😅

Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
I've had her up and running for a while now. I changed the whole fuel pump and sending unit assembly out and no more problems.
Having some fun in the ❄.

Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
Thanks all. I still need my bedliner and I want to ditch the single exhaust. Also, the 8.1l will go in at some point after the 454 gives up. As of now it runs like a top with 60psi oil pressure warmed up.

Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
No updates in a while I see. My Air system had a leak, I'm pretty sure at least the line from the compressor was bad. Someone had fixed it with 4 hose clamps in the past. Regardless I changed everything out, but the evaporator. Wished I'd thought about that when the dash was out.🙄
Ran a vacuum on it today, charged her up and we have cold ac! 454 is running great still so the 8.1 will have to wait, especially with the way gas has gone.😅
