Love the build! Any updates on getting cruise working with the LS3?

slowcpe · 11-24-2014, 11:07 AM

So how are the new shocks treating you?

Thanks. I bought a Rostra module and with the help of a boardmember, made it work.

I really like them. I'm currently waiting on Moser to send me some new axles to replace the incorrectly machined ones that I originally purchased from them. The bad axles were causing a vibration that I have been chasing for a while now. Once I get them swapped out, I'll be doing some more road testing with the shocks,

I'm not familiar with that kit. We used kit 1858, it's for a DBW. I'm sure there are other kits that will work (possibly 1848), but I'm not sure. The biggest hurdle we had was converting the 4K PPM o/p signal from the computer to an 128K PPM i/p signal that the 1858 was looking for. After that, the only other issue I had was with LED tail lights.

Resistance issues or something to that effect?

Did you use front shock relocators?

Yes and I purchased Ridetech shocks made to fit the ride height of the truck.

Rob, how much of an improvement were the ridetechs.? What did you have on there before.? Was it like WOW.?

And are they RQs or HQs..?

I'm trying to decide how crazy I should go on shocks...

**Hart_Rod** · 12-13-2014, 12:32 PM

Haven't done much to the 68 lately, I've been sick since Thanksgiving. I did develop/fabricate a bolt in pedal mounting bracket for the GEN III DBW gas pedals. Here's a link and a few pics. Let me know if you are interested in one.

Looks good! Which are the correct year/ model pedals for both brackets. I have your first design.

The one you have is for a Gen IV motor using the 05+ Corvette pedal. The new one is for a Gen III motor using the truck/suv DBW pedal.

jaros44sr · 12-14-2014, 02:06 PM

Sorry your not feeling for an extended time Rob, hopefully it will pass soon. I remember one christmas season where the whole family was sick on christmas weekend, miserable.

Great build, enjoy reading.....that rear end is a strange one, wish i had a suggestion to help. Very curious to find out the fix, as i m sure you are as well

I think I'm about to fight through it. Yesterday wasn't fun, but at least I got out of the house,

As far as the rear, I'm just going to drive it and see if anything gets worse.

I agree, getting out of the house is good first step, baby steps

Good idea! Drive it till it breaks.....
