Re: Project WideBody

well, just give an update on this build...

it has reappeared in my garage ! mainly to tweak and go over some things that the owner wants completed or changed. it was let go with the AC not completed, and some of the wiring left unwrapped for the AC install.

so the following is/has happened... there was a mention of the truck laying over when trying to accelerate, we tried numerous phone talks to correct and diagnose...no luck. what i did find was a shorted out injector harness wire (all internal to the fitech unit). this short had melted the wiring and the injector plug into the injector body. fitech is sending an injector (our cost of 38$) and a piece of harness from a bad unit to repair this one.

repaint both inner fender wells (thinking about slosh tubs, but dont wan to cut anything), repaint core support, both outside mirrors (both have been hit), and the right rear lower bedside ( it has some contact damage)

then comes header back exhaust, i will be running true duals, probably down pass side to accommodate muffle placement, then tune everything accordingly.

just for the sake of saying and knowing...i ran through the dakaota digitial cluster and found a recorded top speed of 153 mph...i am guessing one of those runs was when i got a call that the truck was laying over and starved for fuel
