figure out the slight miss on heavy acceleration.

Check dizzy springs an weights.....

I doubt this one has a distributer...

I would suggest plugging it in and checking codes. It could be a bad coil, something not plugged in good, an issue with the tune. Reading the codes should get you close though.

alt to batt, to ground, then looked and saw my rear cable from the head was off so need to get it back on and try it out.  currently sits like this

still need to grind the front caliper mounts and calipers down a bit, get new gaskets from the manifolds to the exhaust, and a few other small tid bits then off for inspection and plates

gave up on grinding the backing plates and calipers down and got some adapters


how it sits with no spacer and wheels unable to turn at all.


with spacers and wheel spins freely


how it sits now, really need to figure out what color paint i want on it, and turn my focus to the interior

well brought it over to my house to do some wiring on it, got the light bar wired back up fixed some other small wiring issues, got a new ecu mount for it, now just waiting on my parking brake cable connectors to get in to finish the parking brakes up, need to bleed the brakes yet again as it still wont get a firm pedal at all on it, got the stock horn hooked up and trying to figure out where to mount my aux horn at on it,

Got the plugs changed out the other day and got around to driving it today to the inlaws to do the parking brake, my miss is now gone with the new plugs, but need to check the cel light im getting now and my code reader took a dump on me.


old plugs, not even correct for the 5.3 and were at .060 where oem is .040

got the wiring for the light bar ran how i wanted and not through the door panel opening



and the relays for the light bar before it was all wire loomed and cleaned up, prefer it this way, as of last time it was ran from battery to switch, switch to lights.



Will have to get a video of it soon, so much better having the ehxaust hooked up, no miss under acceleration and it easily will spin the tires shifting into third gear. 

next up will be a set a intellitronix digital gauges over my non functioning gauges.

besides trying to get my cursed wiper system to work its been running and driving good, just need to get my front drive shaft cut down, save up and order the led tails,installed a ignition cylinder today and it starts right away and dont have to fight the key anymore.

was having some brown liquid that reeked drip from my hood latch after it rains pulled it off and found this.


one of the many piles i pulled out from the hood


still need to wire loom some more of the wires and have been toying with the thought about putting onboard air on the k5 will be enough for a small impact, air tires up, and my train horns


and how it still sits currently

should have had to pull it out! some mouse decided to make a home, cardboard, old clothes fibers, its bathroom stuff, etc. Needless to say i took a few showers afterwards and used to flexiable claw and alignment bar to get it all out, only thing i can't get out is his little skeleton

Are you implying that your truck maybe haunted by an ANGRY mouse?  With all of that "stuff" in there, it's no wonder he perished!  lol

Mouse coffin....

All you need now is a chrome mouse hood ornament.   Happy Day!

   ;D


All joking aside, your truck is coming along very nicely!  That's a neat little compressor.  Viair?
