Sub box, subs, and amps were 87lbs, so I would guess just under 100lbs with wiring, fuses, screws, etc...

 

Cleaned and painted the oem calipers and purchased a z36 powrstop kit. Going to remove the wilwoods in the future so I can run a drag pack front and rear





Wired in my MPVI 2 pro interface to the wideband and started the new tuning process with Atomic.








First file he sent me it idles and drives like a stock truck. Previous shop had the truck for over a month and tried to blame it on the parts I used on the build, or injectors too big, or the PCM, etc.. The truck would stall going from park to drive or coming up to stop signs, and all sorts of issues. I definitely wish I had never gone to that shop to begin with, but live and learn.

 

Great call going with Richard. He’s responsive, knowledgeable and a great tuner. I just finished up tuning with him and it was an awesome experience. Can’t wait to see this thing tuned and on a drag set up

 

glad to hear you got it sorted out. You tuning for more boost right now?

 

Not right now, just getting it dialed in on 93 octane and 10psi. I will eventually make the switch to E85 and install my boost controller, but priority here is to get the truck running great so I can actually enjoy it. Driving it lately has been very annoying and actually added more stress to my life, when driving this truck is supposed to be a stress reliever in theory...

 

Wilwoods are off the truck, going to have to edit the thread title now...





Powerstop Z36 kit with the OEM calipers I painted black. Got new slide pins, seals, speed bleeders and russell stainless lines

 

I am curious how different the feel is from the wilwoods

 

You know I'm "with" this swap, John. But damn is that a lowly sway back to stocks haha. Gonna be worth it in the end

 

Oh what a fun afternoon. Went to change the MAP sensor and I tried to take a shortcut and long story short the gasket fell into the intake manifold. Left me no option but to remove the fuel rails, intake manifold, etc...


Found it sitting on top of the valve in number 7





I felt like a brain surgeon getting it out with the borescope and needle nose pliers...





Took a few hours but it's all back together now. Won't make that mistake again.

 

I'm trying to solve a 60mph shake in the rear end, so looking at pinion angle first. These are the measurements from the tremec app:



Angle 1 was tranny/driveshaft and angle 2 was driveshaft/pinion yoke.

I have a 2° shim in my garage right now. I need to install the fat end at the back so it pushes the pinion down and gets that angle closer to the tranny/driveshaft angle, correct?
