Engine sounds incredible!

**GSFMECH** · 06-18-2014, 09:04 AM

This truck is nothing short of awesome. I have not seen it in person since the bed was put on but I may have to make a road trip.

Sorry Eric , I somehow missed your question . I plan on taking it out this coming weekend and see what she does . Exhaust is now done and the brakes are working like they should . Only thing left to do is get the front end aligned . Then it will be mainly working on the tune . Oh and A/C , but I'll just sweat it out till that gets done .

How is it coming? I'd love to see this one getting some sunshine and stretching her legs out!

**Bowtie468** · 09-04-2014, 05:03 PM

Been logging some miles on her and getting the tune worked out . Monday I went to put it on the lift for an oil change and was met with a no start condition . Something is shutting down the injector driver in the ECM . I'll get it worked out , just waiting on some days off to have the time to do so ! I'll keep y'all posted .

**Bowtie468** · 09-09-2014, 06:31 PM

Well it appears it's actually the driver itself that failed in the ECM . Sent out for repair / replacement and they should receive it tomorrow .

Here's a few pics from the install of my 3pt seatbelts from Juliano's . The only mod I did was fab another mount for each retractor . The ones provided were bent at 90 degrees and if used it would wind up at a funky angle to the seat . This pic shows the difference . All attachment points are in the stock locations .

Thank you Keith . Those buckles were the deal maker as their belt setup is a lil pricey .

**Bowtie468** · 09-30-2014, 11:29 PM

Loading her up tomorrow night for her trip to CTC . Haven't spent the time I'd like to on tuning the VE tables, ( lost about 2 weeks when the ECM took a nose dive ), but the fueling is much better and decent to cruise around . Just have to keep my foot out of it . We're gonna go enjoy being out with it then back to the shop for more work before Good Guys in March '15

Bennett68C10 · 10-01-2014, 05:40 AM

Nice, can't wait to see some pics of this beauty.

**Bowtie468** · 10-09-2014, 03:00 PM

Relaxin at CTC !!!

**screaminchevypickup** · 10-09-2014, 03:01 PM

Beautiful!!

**lolife99** · 10-09-2014, 03:15 PM

Bennett68C10 · 10-09-2014, 03:25 PM

The finish on this truck is AMAZING! All that hard work on the fit & finish definitely shows on camera! Hope you're enjoying yourself out there!

Texas Pugh · 10-09-2014, 05:45 PM
