Re: My Build

Sorry to hear about your big block, but it sounds like the best time to do the LS swap.

Re: My Build

5.3. I had a bad experience with a Denali with a 6.0 back in the days, it had a bad piston slap.

Re: My Build

nice!!!
i will be tuning in to this build!!
just read up on wades build and it brought me over to yours!!

been doing a little homework as i want to run a 24x15 rear wheel
i contacted Pirelli tire and they not making any at the present moment
your rear wheel being a 24x12 looks awesome, and as soon as i figure a few things out i'll prob order some as well!!

Very nice truck!! keep the trim!!
and i'll be following your build!

Re: My Build

Any luck finding someone to program your computer yet?
Just a wild guess here but there are probably several speed shops in Houston who can do it.

Re: My Build

the prices for tuning are usually reasonable
i was reading up on some things and saw that MSD has an option for fuel injection
msd 6012 ls (349.00 @summit) but you also need the 149.00 harness as well
plug and play
