Yea if I didn't make that part clear sorry. The ac request from the truck should go straight to the compressor. On my old harness, the ac request wire split at one point and turned into 2 wires doing the same job, one went to the comp and the other to the fast idle solenoid. On the tbi engine I have now, it's the same. One still goes to comp, the other goes to ac request signal to the ecm, not a solenoid. Does the same thing tho, tells the ecm the ac is on, ecm does the rest.

Well been busy with Christmas and all, not much done lately, got in touch with a guy that does proms, he's going to delete the VATS, tune it for pulling a trailer, and a few other things for 65.00.
Tomorrow I'm pulling the smog crap off, and finishing up the wiring.
Hopefully Sunday I'll get the headers on.

Well went out to install the headers today. Didn't. Turn out so well. I actually vet the drivers side on no problem. But as I prepared to install the leaf side I notice that the header weld on the mating surface was ground to much on the top of three of the ports. Kinda rounded over and nearly down to the flange. I used red paint to mark the lines. I think you can see it. I sent an email to summit. With details and pics. I hope I didn't miss this on the drivers side.

Do you have a welder or know someone that does?
You could just build up that area with a weld and then file it flat.
I know you shouldn't have to fix someone else's mistake.  You paid the money and should have received a quality product.
I'm just trying to keep the project moving forward.

Ok
Summit got back with me and they are shipping my new headers now. All I have to do is box the old ones back up(I still have the box) and ups will pic them up. Summit even paid return postage.

Great customer service.

Summit is great to work with if you run into problems like that.
Hopefully the new headers have better build quality.
Looking forward to watching you get this truck up & running.

Well. I woke up this morning with high hopes of taking my son out to shoot his new gun. But its going to be raining all day. Gonna be close to 60 today so I will be out in the shop taking all the smog stuff off and looking for a large piece of flat stoke aluminum. I am going to make my own smog pump delete pulley bracket.
Hopefully by the end of the day ill have the smog and egr stuff off and the new fuse box mounted and wired

You should be able to buy a smog pump delete pulley and bracket. Not saying you have to, but it might be easier too. Unless your pretty good with the fabrication kinda stuff.
