that sucks man, after seeing that wiring harness I had a bad feeling you were going to hit the wall somewhere. good luck in getting it running, very interested in seeing how it runs

 

What's the tranny problem? I was gone for almost two weeks....hoping to see it running when I got back

 

IT'S ALIVE
























Well Sorta

She's Finished and i got everything ready to start her including the camera set up to video start up, and well i had fuel pressure spark everyhthing, bumoed the starter and nothing, ****, well i start chasing everything everywhere double check everything, try again, Zip, Pull my battery tester out and well i'll be damned she has enough juice to run accessories but not bump the starter, so i take her up to o'reilly and the battery is getting a deep cycle charge so Hopefully afterwork tommorow i'll have a REAL Startup vid lol

I'm going to bed, i've been at this since 8AM this morning i'm sunburned and tired lol

 

Woohooo!!! hope to see a video soon, congrats on all the work performed up to this point anyways dave!!

 

Dustin

 

Thanks guys, it was a real kick in the ******* to be soooo amped up to start it and nothing, I still have the failed start video so maybe i'll post that eventually for a good chuckle

 

my truck is faster than yours right now

 

Man that had to suck, get ready and start the video then "click click clik..."

Hope to see it run soon. You find a base tune for the 3 BAR yet?

 

SHE'S ALIVE and paralyzed

well truck is running and purring like a kitten, in fact i went to pull her out of the driveway today to run up to the shell and fill the tank up with Premium

Well i back out alright, it felt a little loose backing out but i thought it was me getting used to the 80e so i put her in drive and start to go and i immediatley figure something isn't right, it feels like it's in 3rd gear going uphill so i decide to go back into the driveway to check it out and crack i hear a loud cracking sound and my Revs jump and then i roll back down the driveway and i don't have any gears even park so i figure the driveshaft decided to leave at 2mph, NOPE the DS was in place, so after i push the bastard up my damn driveway i set the parking brake and stare at her for awhile and just went inside

her first drive lasted 12 feet

WOW

so out comes the 80e for a rebuild already :puke:
it's only money right

 

WTF??

i feel your pain bro... that is harsh... fuggin' transmissions...
