[90_383]

took mt gauge cluster apart , theres a bit of water damage but I think I can fix it ......

[allpontiacs]

Damn...a few minutes in a bead blaster should make it all right, right?

[90_383]

lol its just a little fucked its still good

[90_383]

but on a realistic note , i got the motor in and set up the LS1 intake .... wont work without the acc brakcet off a LS1 or mods so its not a direct swap , second ... fuck , Im putting the headers on today wile waiting for the truck to show up and I get to the drivers header and theres 2 bolts snapped off so i drill it out and put an eazy out in and ....... cock sucker it brakes . so wile im trying to get it out a buddy is working on the other and drills into my water jacket MOTHER FUCKER so now i gotta rebuild the head off the other motor with all the parts from the LQ9 and start off tommorow in the same place I was this morning

[90_383]

[IROC-Z]

this kinda stuff is why i would use a hoist. other wise i would not bother

In your SHOP

[89vert]

don't want a full size hoist in my SHOP!, it'll really limit the space,

im looking for SHOP space... its not easy...

[Teh Doucher]

why the hell wouldnt you just buy the 3/4 ton? i still dont get the point to all this work..

[90_383]

it has been like 7 days of work , I got a 99% mint truck and running gear from a truck with a beat body. and the point is that I wanted to do it , so why would you care ?

[Dunout]

some people see thing others don't..

[90_383]

some people see thing others are idiots..

[90_383]

so the truck is pretty much all together and is turning over and wants to fire , it wants to go so bad that every now and then when the key is in the run position it starts to turn over by itself .... ideas ?
its also throwing TPS codes .. on a DBW throttle body where is it ? on the DBC its under the throttle cable , so am i going to have to drill the pop rivits out and open the throttle body to get to it ???

[Dunout]

pull up a wiring diagram for it.
