i thought you were in california or maybe someone else with a screen name like yours. Sorry about that

 

I think Norcal TBSS is possibly thinking of me...we were trying to hook up some time ago, before I had issues with my trans. Got the shift solenoids fixed, ran it at Sacto then the trans started having problems with NOT staying locked in 3rd & OD--I suspected it was the Yank TT2600 but I've been told it could be the TCC valve or a ball check in the separator plate. In any event, it has prompted me to swap to a 4L80e.

Seems I never get more than one trip to the track with each fix!

 

Update:
I hate motor mounts.

Got the engine lined up FINALLY. Bell housing bolts in, trans dip stick in, long tubes bolted back up.

Tomorrow I'm planning on the TC bolts, the starter, trans dust shield, and connecting the LT's to the exhaust. I should be done under the truck at that point.

From there I need to know if there is some "better" order to put everything else back on? Here is what I'm thinking:
1. AC Bracket
2. Water pump
3. Idler pulley bracket
4. Alt
5. Ac compressor
6. PS pump
7. Coil Packs
8. Blower


For the tune issue...I have been talking with Wheatley all week. We have come to the conclusion EFI Live does not support my OS for 2-bar. HPT does. So I am buying HPT (will sell my EFI stuff later). Wheatley will be working the tune for me and if all goes ok I should be able to at least start this thing this weekend.

 

Youre going to have to lift the motor back up to get the ac bracket on. Unless you dont mind it being held on by only two bolts.

 

subscribe awesome work. looking forward to seeing it all done.

 

Ya? Well it came off with the block in place so maybe it only had 2 bolts in it to begin with. I've had this thing apart so many times I'm sure I forgot a bolt or 2 along the way

Thanks!

Today I got the exhaust hooked back up, torque converter bolts in, hooked up a ground or 2 and generally organized the wiring harness.
That's it. I'm a slacker.

 

My god dude, your pulling some late hours these days Looking forward to hearing her run!

What was the problem with the motor mounts anyway?

 

Looking good man cant wait to see this thing finished. Oh and I ordered that pan from the dealer for a 2010 Sierra 6.2 guess I never noticed it didnt have a oil level sensor?? Looked at my 2011 and it doesnt have it either so im guess its a nnbs thing. Idk if you could just drill and tap, sucks if you have to use a old oil pan. Maybe the nnbs trucks place the sensor somewhere else dont see why GM would get rid of a safety feature like that?

 

I used the old pan. I just cleaned the inside completely with brake cleaner. The outside looks like crap but who really sees that anyway.

 

Well I passed out for 3 hours after work so I had to make it up lol.
The passenger side motor mount would not line up. It was off by a few millimeters. I could get the bolt in but it wouldn't catch. I had to loosen ALL the motor mount bolts on both sides and slowly work them all back tight a little at a time. It sucked.
