Re: my 1955 chevy truck
i sent my wiring harness to wait4meperformance and they cut it down and flashed the computer for $360. Not perticularly happy with it as of the moment, but i will call them before i start trashing thier company. Could have just been a simple mix up.
Anyways the work they did to the harness does look quality. i hope to get it running in a few days (or weeks, but hopefully days) and i post back.

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
My wife & I do our own harnesses for gen III pcm's. It is just a matter of cuting & splicing. We get rid of most of the wires & simplify it. But we have the tuning software to get rid of the MAF, o2's etc etc.
We just installed a 5.3 in a 54 that is turbocharged. It is running but not on the road yet we are working on the rear diff & driveshaft. |

We can give you some schematics for the year PCM you end up getting & some pointers on how to get it running. You will need some tuning to get rid of VATS & maybe some other things you want tailored to your application. I can make a post with some pics but our build is a junk yard build. It is pretty rough compared to the builds on this site. It will have some power though! |

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
What kind of clearance issues have you run in to with the 235 - 20's? What is your ride height? I am hoping to upgrade to 20's, I am not bagged and don't plan on it anytime soon. Are there any clearance issues in the front wells when steering?

Re: my 1955 chevy truck
Hey jb55, your looks nice, man nice pics of the airbags I was wondering were you put tank and stuff, wish I could in stall airbags on my truck. What doses it cost for a set up like yours? Like yours front suspension to looks clean. Looks like truck sits on the ground......
