You know what the best thing about those stands is? Make another level and add 4 wheels to it for all 4 of your stands, and now you have some dollies to put under tham and you can roll your truck around if needed.

Rest of the build is going slowly over the holidays, I need to put some heat in the garage, that might motivate me a little more. haha

All kidding aside, if Brendan gets my PCM back this week I will probably go for a start up, I am gonna cross all my fingers and a few toes when I hit that switch.

Cool beans on the fire up. He did a good job on mine I guess since it runs

I am ready to find out if this thing is gonna crank. Seems like forever that I started wiring.

RocketKing · 12-02-2011, 04:31 PM

Little update.

Well the old girl did crank but she wouldn't fire off. Bad Mojo!

In the morning I will start huntin down the would be causes. I got a funny feeling it might be clogged injectors, that seems to be a common enemy. Actually, I would prefer that over a wiring issue!

RocketKing · 12-08-2011, 10:41 PM

Thought there for a while I was gonna have to rename my thread "The Fuse Is Not Lit"

Motor is up and running!

Although the plug in the bottom of the power steering pump popped out and sprayed fluid everywhere and I do mean everywhere...it is still a good day!

raull · 12-08-2011, 10:46 PM

That's nice , I'm Glad for you , now I now who to go to when mine doesn't start !!! Lol

Awesome! More details about the cause?
You should see the temporary line I made for my power steering box to make sure I didn't get fluid everywhere

I tried to buy one at Oreilly but they were order only for the return side that goes into the box....go figure.

Now we're gonna need a video of that beast running

VA72C10 · 12-09-2011, 01:24 AM

congrats on getting it running!!!

big_al_71 · 12-09-2011, 08:48 AM

Rex I am definetly looking forward to a video of it running. When you order your wheels be prepared to wait a while as I did not think that mine would had taken this long thus far, specially when ordering billet specialties.

**67cheby** · 12-09-2011, 10:16 AM

video...congrats

I had some wires that I thought were Key hot but were actually Accessory only, which means that it was cutting power during cranking. You were smarter than me about the power steering fluid...at least the floor has a shiny, wet look. lol

I have been patiently waiting for your wheels to come in, I think they will look fantastic! Thanks for the compliment!
