My truck is on the road!

and NO, no pics yet! but soon I promise. Got plates on it yesterday, and it runs great! and boy, does that motor sound good! I am very pleased to say the least. this was not a project for the faint hearted
I still have some more paint work to do, then buff it out, and put the Alcoa's on, so pics will come when it is all cleaned up. How tricky is it to install my tuner? Now I', strokin!
thank you, C

The chip isn't a bad job. Gotta pull the PCM out and put it on the bench. Take the screws out that hold the case halves together. Pull the case apart. You'll see the port that the chip plugs into. You'll have to clean that connection. See this link for instructions. http://www.totaldieselperformance.co...les.asp?id=133

Travis, thanks for the link! Great info. I need to replace rear spring hangers ( swiss cheese from rust!), before I start goosing the throttle!
