Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI - Page 13 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It's (unfortunate) not what is coming to as it's already here. We need to go a bit backwards & take care of business as we use to.

It is SAD that you can't even leave your own property on your own property ... without some ****bag stealing it.

Some countries cut the hand off of thieves so everyone knows who the thief is ...

Again - that sux & hopefully it'll turn up.

754, I'm with the rest of the group, sorry it was stolen, hope it get's returned...Jim

HUSSEY · 02-27-2015, 05:08 PM

Can I ask about the steering column, do you recall the length or model no.? Looks like a perfect fit.

By the way, killer build thread! Just wish didn't have to read about your stolen trailer thread to come across it.

Uncle Jimi · 02-27-2015, 11:59 PM

Not trying to pour salt in your stolen trailer wound... however.... on the bright side.... (if there was one to getting your trailer stolen???)

Cecil now becomes a driver... Not a trailer Queen?!?!!?

True, but now he doesn't have a way to bring the next project home

hope you find it.

Yep, that's a problem. Already planning on the next project, and got a truck in my sights, just have to convince my Aunt to let go of it.

Chris built this truck to be driven and he would kill me if Cecil became a trailer queen. Honestly I think he was worried when I asked him to put a trailer hitch on him. I had to promise him Cecil would only tow a my Harley on a rare occasion.

skymangs · 02-28-2015, 09:26 AM

Steering column is a 32" column from Gearhead enterprises. It is a pretty good fit.

**Advanced Design** · 03-02-2015, 02:39 PM

Cool, what truck does your Aunt have?

It's C10, Fleet Long Bed. She and my Late Uncle are the Original Owners, I think. Been in her pasture since probably 2000.

skymangs · 03-05-2015, 09:17 AM

Nice... I love the plate! Expecting the ECM to arrive today or tomorrow.

**Advanced Design** · 03-16-2015, 07:31 PM

Cool parts. ECM didn't fix the drivability concern?

AD - nope it wasn't the ECM. But the good news is now Cecil's engine is fixed!!!

Chris was determined to get Cecil running so he trailered him 3 hours each way to get diagnostics. I will let him go into details but I am just happy that Cecil lives.

Hopefully we can get a test drive video up sometime today or tomorrow!

oossuuu754 · 03-17-2015, 06:06 PM

Arrrg! Just got off the phone with Chris and I'll be darned if Cecil's transmission is busted. Third gear is shot. On a lighter note Chris did say that it runs like a bat out of hell in first and second gear.

**oldman3** · 03-17-2015, 07:48 PM

Hate to hear about the tranny, but glad the engine is going good...Jim

T Hilde · 03-17-2015, 08:31 PM

Darn, what's that old saying "if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all"

Pretty soon all the bugs will be out and you'll be cruising with a $h!t eating grin.

skymangs · 03-17-2015, 08:53 PM

Jim; you already know all about my luck with craigslist transmissions!!!!

skymangs · 03-17-2015, 09:10 PM

OK, so here is the whole story on the TPI quitting issue. I took the truck 4hrs to West Plains, MO. To see my buddy, the be all and end all of GM stand alone fuel injection, Brendan Patten (he operates the web site "lt1swap.com" and is an industry leader in developing software and pioneering new stand alone swaps. Only the best for Cecil!

After discussing all the steps I had taken, he was scratching his head as well. Brendan used a GM scan tool to read real time data, and noticed that the MAP sensor vaccum appeared to be responding sluggishly. The culprit was a piece of mud dauber nest lodged in the vaccum fitting for the MAP sensor (on the bottom rear of the intake). It was causing intermittent vaccum loss to the MAP and dumping fuel to compensate for an misinterpreted lean condition. What the hell! A mud dauber nest??? Really? I never would have found that!

Guess that should have been expected since it sat in an Oklahoma barn for 27 years LoL...

I went to get some miles on her today, but as soon as it hits 3rd gear it just revs free.... Runs like a striped ape in 1st and second though! I should have a video up tomorrow.

Damn Chris, wish I had know, Brendan lives about 10 minutes from my place, we could have hooked up...Jim

lower50's · 03-18-2015, 12:13 AM

Great news about the motor. That type of problem can make you start to second guess yourself, but a mud dauber nest. Why would you ever think to look for something like that. Guess that's why we have guru's. Sucks about tranny.

**Advanced Design** · 03-17-2015, 09:48 PM

Glad you have the engine concern fixed and sorry to hear about the transmission. Hopefully no more bugs!

oossuuu754 · 03-17-2015, 10:09 PM

Well at least he is moving and "road worthy". Someone PM'd me about the new April truck of the month contest "Do you drive that" What do think does Cecil meet the criteria for it since he he now moving on his own?

918733 · 03-18-2015, 12:14 AM

We call'em dirt dobbers had one clog up the vent tube on the trans on my Harley and it was building up pressure and forcing fluid out from around the clutch cable couldn't figure that leak out had a buddy who had the same problem and figured it out

skymangs · 03-18-2015, 08:00 AM

Awe damn Jim. Missed opportunity. I'm sure I'll come up with an excuse to go back again. LoL

My vote for truck of the month goes to Cecil, but I may be biased.

FREAKIN MUD DAUBERS!!!

oossuuu754 · 03-20-2015, 02:07 PM

Here is a short video of Cecil proving he is road worthy. He runs good in first and second. Re man tranny going in hopefully next week.
