HI!... NOPE! It's still running.

 

HI!... O.k since some of you have asked here and through e-mail, I'll update you on the progress so far. Trucks been to the dyno. A/F's were way off into the high 13's to low 14's so the runs were aborted. Runs good no problems. MIKE T is currently working on a X-CAL2 for me to richen the A/F's up. Tried to log with AUTOTAP but all the date was scewed. Corrupt software we think. Going to data log with the X-CAL2 when it comes. Timing was low at 22 degree's compared to the 28-32 we usually run. There's definately 25-40RWH.P still in here. I'll post dyno #'s and vids as soon as we get the tuning done. She did make power up to 5800RPM till the A/F's got bad and we aborted.

Also just ordered some METCO track-links so now I can get rid of my 48LB each traction bars. lol! New FUEL pressure gauge has been ordered due to mu hood came up through windsheild and it got hit. Now it sweeps wildly. EGT has been ordered. Currently working on getting some QA1 double adjustable drag shocks for all 4 corners. Also working on full AEROMOTIVE fuels system containing FPR, FUEL RAILS, before/after FUEL FILTERS, and A1000 FUEL PUMP. In a couple of weeks I'm going to start fabricating a custom sheet aluminum fuel cell with sump which will mount under the truck where the old spare tire winch "X" crossmember used to be. So as you can see I've been pretty busy this winter so far.

Will post pics as soon as I have them. Thanks for the interest, guys.

HI!... Still waiting on parts to come in.................

 

what other parts u got coming in?? boost?

 

HI!... Read above^^^^^^^^^^^

 

HI!... Well I got the METCO TRACK-LINKS in and installed them yesturday. What a PITA these things were to install. Even on a hoist! Well their on and they seem to work quite well. Half the weight of my traction bars. Now I have a smooth ride again due to the METCO's don't stiffen up the rear suspension like the traction bars did. The truck actually squats now and takes off. Still have to do some adjustments on pre-loading them but that will have to wait till the weather gets warmer and I switch back to my NITTO's. Right now the winter tires can't handle the power, too narrow. The 3 way gauge pod should be in later this week and I will drop it off at my buddies that's going to graft it into a extra top dash panel for me. In a couple of weeks I'll put my order in for the AEROMOTIVE fuel system and start building the custom fuel cell. Will post picks of the METCO's as soon as I have time.

 

HI!... Well I got the spare dash and the gauge pod came in about 2 weeks ago. Dropped it off with a buddy of mine that's really good at building custom interior stuff. This is where we stand now with it :

 

HI!... These are just the 1ST step in MANY, MANY more to come. The entire dash will be sanded down and matched for colour and texture later on. Now it's just a lot of sanding and filling. I'll try to get some pics of the traction bars this weekend.

 

Looks like crap! I hope karzy isn't Done yet.
