November BS/Chat
The end of the year is getting ever closer, along with the winter weather. I'm starting the month out good. I have finally got my motor/trans swap done. I have to pickup the new rear d shaft yet so I have not drove it yet. How are you guys doing??

Hey Dave, how's the chapter leader bidnez? :)
|
So far so good. :)

Hey guys!
I can't believe another month's gone. I must admit I'm pretty stoked for some snow. So dave you got her started. I would imagine your pretty anxious to get her moving. When will you be getting your DS? I wish I could say I've gotten somewhere with my truck. As of now I'm rarely even driving it anymore. Debating on taking the parts I bought back and put it up for sale or pay someone to install parts and keep it a few more years. Its a tough decision, and I'm the worse at making/sticking with my decisions. I know if I sell it I will regret it soon after . lol |
I'm pickin up the DS in about 20 min. Lol. You don't want to sell it! I know how u feel though. Mine sat in the garage looking sad for over a month. N my wheeler is still broke from Labor day weekend!
I'm sure some weekend I could help you get it road worthy again. It's a pain sometimes but ya got to do what u got to do. Loi |
Your right Dave, it would be hard to part with. Although its kind of a pile, I love my truck. lol Plus I have a feeling I will need it quite a bit this winter.
Did you get the truck moving again? I bet it sounds a little healthier than the 302 did. |
Yep, got it runnin. Drove it today, have a CEL, but I think I have it figured out. Sounds a bit better I thin anyways. Lol. Just have a couple little things to figure out.
|
Nice one! How's that 5 speed feel? I bet that feels weird having to shift now.
|
The trans itself feels nice, ya it does feel a bit off right now. But I'm happy with how it feels right now.
|
Well that's good, I'm glad everything swapped over with minimal problems. I really miss having a manual trans. Gives you something to do while driving. lol
|
Ya, my first DD was a stick, so I've kinda missed it. I just need to get some resistors to make the computer think the smog stuff is still there. I just need to verify the size. Lol.
Who knows I might have to do a custom tune. |
Well hopefully the resistors will fix the problem. I'm sure that's easier than having to buy the software to tune the computer. lol
Looks like its going to be a pretty nice weekend. I'm so glad I have this weekend off!!! :) |
I'm testing it as we speak. lol. I got it warming up right now.
I think I can get a custom tune for around $350 I'm headed out to go hunting tomorrow, so hopefully the pickup does ok.. I have to change oil on it again, and than toss some stuff in it... |
nope, didn't work :(
|
Oh man that sucks! So your thinking a custom tune will resolve the issue?
How far do you go hunting? You could always take my truck if you need one for tomorrow. |
