The bracket that holds the dizzy. It has a tab, and the dizzy base itself has an indent .

yeah its all on there perfectly!

i think i have a cylinder either not firing, or not getting fuel. after this snow stops and melts i need to go and investigate. im thinkin its cyl number 8... but i think i have an o-ring leak.

which would also cause it to act like the way it is acting... correct?

im lovin the sound this new motor makes.....

so frickin THROATY!!!

Nice job man, kudos on all the hard work.

Since you got long tubes, and you are putting the pacesetter y pipe on there as well, how far back with that Y be? If I remember right, from one of the older threads, when a dude did long tubes the headers. They ended by the side of the tranny? So how far back will the y pipe sit? Where are you mounting the high flow cat?

the cat is a bit further back than the factory location.. so, the post cat sensor is a bit further back, but there is plenty of room for the o2 sensor wires, length wise.

i put the y-pipe on today while laying on a 4x8 sheet of plywood ontop of 8" of snow... (im so ready for spring!)

motor quieted down quite a bit with just a cat on there lol. slp muffler will be going on as soon as i can get a band clamp!

tomorrow i have to take the fuel rail off for the 3rd time cause of a leaky injector o-ring. if its not too muddy, ill attempt to get the t-case back in. ill most definitely get the cooling system back in place, and filled with coolant.


is there a way to adjust the idle screw on these trucks? my motor is idling at 500 rpms, it sounds good(lopey) but freaks me out because its supposed to be around 700 iirc.

also, this thing is running pig rich right now. between 11, and 13, sometimes 14(which is actually pretty normal) need to get that thing tuned. least i know itll run ok with what its got for a tune currently.

The truck needs to be fully put back together and bought up to temp a couple of time's so the pcm can figure out what's going on. Setting the fuel sync should also be checked once the motor has reached opt temp.

that would make sense. if the snow melts enough tomorrow, ill put the cooling system back in, and get her running. i put the y-pipe in today, and got the wideband connected. a/f ratio is on the pig rich end.

sounds sooooooooooooooo good though. wish you could be here to hear it man!

I wish I was there as well, all that matters to me is that your happy. A/F numbers mean very little at this time, you need to wait until it's back together.

I think Sean can set the offest on IAC for the idle - not 100% certain. But in industrial applications, that is how you control stepping motors. They go to close, then step back to open to preset, then compare idle spped and adjust if necessary. Since you are getting a custom tune, now would be the time to investigate that possibility.
