Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Pulled all the replacement pcm wires out of the computer connectors to run them through the firewall grommet from the old harness then re-installed all the wires. Laid out the harness on it's new path and started connecting engine wiring. Actually had the Smoke Ram intake and 454 TBI setup on the bench considering swapping intakes but decided to stay with the Crossfire intake due to time constraints. But I am wiring the TPS, MAP, and IAC through separate plugs that I can disconnect when I replace the intake. It will make it easier to install the new connectors without modifying the harness again.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I converted my foot starter mechanical - to a foot starter ( electrical ) so my late model 250/2004r combo still looks like it uses the factory starter button.OH yea the number is ST26 from echoline or NAPA. drill 2 small holes and it bolts where the old foot switch used to come up through the floor board. It looks very sweet. My napa people even honored and replaced the first switch which we found out was defected. 2 wires and you are done after that. Remeber the fuse - it saves wires if the switch is bad. Smile.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I just been standing in the shade looking at my 54. I have the seat pulled but have yet to clean out the trash. Been thinking to either pull the tank or just replace the fuel line from the tank to the pump.
Will the weather ever cool down ?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Had a small mishap today with the 57 and the engine hoist and ended up taking out a 1yr old desert cooler radiator. Luckily, I didn't lose a finger or have some other injury but the rad is toast!
Bumming about the radiator. ![]() You guys (and gals) be careful out there working on your rides!!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
It took me one radiator repair and one replacement to learn that disconnecting two hoses and removing 6 bolts is not that big of a deal when doing things that involve engines and hoists, so I feel your pain. I am glad you did not get hurt.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Saturday to Sunday was marathon of 22hrs activity finishing wiring harness, installing new pcm, and burning a chip at 5:00 am for the new engine computer. Yesterday was spent with the family and the truck at the antique truck show in Barrington, NH (awesome trucks). Today I get time with the laptop to actually tune this thing so it gets better than 5mpg!!
