Thanks Diesel. I will have tunes but no radio in this truck. That is my laptop I can program and adjust my transmition to do anything I want. Yes the pyro/boost is Glowshift I hope it will be ok, so far so good.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Last night I finished up with clamping the intake tubes. I also drilled and taped for my boost gauge. I made up this clear plastic adapter to attach my beer tap handle to my shifter. While the shifter was out I mounted the switch for my line lock. I think I will start a collection of handles but love this one for now. It's from a small brewery about 2 hrs from me called Creemore Springs.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Here is a pic of the screen of the editing software for my transmission. I can easily do anything I want. I can change shift points, make it manual shift, shift like a Cadillac or shift like a drag car. It also shows information on what the trans is doing across the bottom.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

I like the control you have with the trans. I'm doing my first automatic build for a guy and Im leaning toward 4l60 or whatever I can get my hands on. Was looking into stand alone controllers. The control factor is a no brainer, even at higher pricing.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

So today I drove the truck out of the garage to the driveway. Brakes, power steering, transmission, gauges. All working great. I put it up on jack stands to put the transmission through the gears. I even saw 2 psi on the boost gauge. Vid below

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Thanks guys!! One of the reasons for the turbo was the whistle.
Here is a vid of me pulling it out and checking brakes, ps and gears.

Just watched your video. Love the sound of that motor. Do you have to keep the leash on so it doesn't run off

We had a little space heater in the cab. I don't have my 12v heater in yet.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

This will be my last update for 2 weeks as my GF and I are going on holidays tomorrow to British Columbia. Vancouver/ Vancouver island area. I will be keeping up to date tho.
So Monday I found out the plastic I used for my shifter adapter does not like -25*C -13*F. So I made this new one out of brass.
