Had to keep some sort of heater for this Canadian climate.

Cost was just over $100 Canadian or about $11.50 US

how much did the whole TPI system cost if you dont mind me asking...

Russell · 08-23-2005, 02:02 AM

I've got about 1100 US into mine, got nickled and dimed a whole lot on it though. I'd suggest finding a complete running donor car if you wanna do the swap

Havent been keeping track................too depressing

I did buy a whole car that was smashed for $2500. Sold the engine w/o TPI for $1200, Shell for $875 and the IROC wheels for $450.

You have to consider the cost of the fuel systen too which was the major cost. You need to do a frame mounted tank,45psi min fuel pump, fuel filters, hard lines, return line, fuel lines from hard lines to the engine ect...........
It's been LOTS of fun though

They are both tubular. The bottom has 3" drop built into it too. Don't know who makes them, they were on the truck when I bought it from pjmoreland.

Well, I tried to fire the GMC up today. Found out that it is not the ECM that is acting up on me, but rather the chip I got from Brian Harris. I used that chip from the s-10 you gave me Darren, and with it my old ECM performed flawlessly, but being for an s-10, the truck doesn't run very good on it, lol!

Becuase of that, I can send your reman ECM back to you in the mail, and I'll need to get Brian to burn me a new one.

The GMC does make noise, but she definitely doesn't run good by any means. I cannot get it to idle what so ever on either chip. It is running extremely rich as well, I had it stopped infront of my garage, and in the short time I was trying to get it to idle, it covered my garage door with black soot.

Not quite sure if it is just a chip issue, but the truck will not run lower than about 2000 rpm, and will die immediately if you set the timing down to 0 degrees with the dizzy over-ride unplugged. I'll mess around with it a bit more later, and try to get it to run a bit better. I know my cam is a bit choppy, but it isn't THAT choppy, I should only be having idle seeking issues with it.

I suppose I should do a couple more checks on all of the sensors to make sure they are all working correctly, so I can rule out a sensory error. I know that my TPS is a bit low, but it shouldn't be enough to mess my truck up that bad.

Deuce · 08-24-2005, 11:48 AM

Westers Garage in Tilley burns chips and he will also do a dyno tune if you leave your truck with him for $129 if you buy his chip.
