Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Well, I worked on her for a few hours as she had a couple of dead cylinders. I found 3 of the eight fuel injectors where bad. I was able to get 2 at the local part store so I put those in and it improved greatly. Will pick up another tomorrow on my way home from work. Hope to have her all squared away by tomorrow night. She has an appointment at the muffler shop Wednesday morning.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
She's hitting on all 8 cylinders! Sounds really great, but I think she needs some time to learn. Headed to the exhaust shop in the morning. Going with MagnaFlow mufflers, hopefully with an x-pipe and turn-downs before the axle. The stepside bed seems to cut down on room to run the tail pipes over the axle, so it will have to do. If I can coordinate it I'm going to try and have the front end aligned too. After that it will be time to calibrate the speedo and put some miles on her.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Im guessing it sounds alot different with all 8 cylinders firing, not nearly so volitile, would you please post another video once the mufflers are installed.
A burn out video would be fun dont you guys agree? |

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Love your build. Great work. That's also one of my favorite stock colors.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I like it too, a have recently seen a few trucks with fresh paint in that color and, although it is down the road a bit, I look forward to the day mine is clean, straight, and shiny.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I'd like to, but might have to stay close to home for family stuff. I also have an issue with it not wanting to idle in gear. Not sure if it is a signal issue or if the converter is too tight for the cam. Will look at it tonight...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I have a neighbor that has been tuning LS's for 12 years. Let me know if you want to set something up with him.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Gonna be hard to sleep tonight. Meeting up with the tuner tomorrow to try and correct a couple of issues I am having. It wants to die when I come to a stop, and it shifts way too quickly. It's in high gear by 25 mph under part throttle! I did get a couple things done today. I changed the oil and installed the front sway bar. It's good to have it drivable, and I am enjoying tying up the loose ends...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Many thanks to Hart_Rod for introducing me to John Weeks who tuned my truck this afternoon! It has really improved how it runs. For those of you who are doing an LS swap, spend the money for a driving tune. He was able to see what the engine and transmission were doing from idle to WOT to cruise. He made adjustment to the fuel curve, timing, and shift points. It made a HUGE difference! I have a few things to change, including building an air intake system, and after that he is going to do a final tune. Anyway, one step closer to Cruisin' the Coast!!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
get one and tell me how it works out I'm definitely interested in one myself as well as an adjustable panhard bar since my p.o.'s solid one has my whole rear end off

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Put a few miles on her today, probably 50 or 60. Was a great time, snapped a few pics before I put her away.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Were you happy with the way it was running? Did you figure out the rear gear? Are you ready for CTC?????
