Tuning is pretty fun once you figure out all the tables. Update your build thread so we can see where you're at.

 

Will do soon. Have to get the driveshaft shortened and front end back on then I can start snapping some photos. Fuel lines are all done as well as oil feed lines. Starting to look like a truck again!

 

Awesome read/thread, never had any idea the truck was rolled at one point. Oh man to see a Testarossa and a Chevy truck racing down the street would be insane! I've been going to Lake Mead since '95 and have always been extremely impressed by the sweet trucks that I see rolling around in Vegas/Henderson.

 

Thanks man! Yep I rolled it my first year of college. Wasn't the best day of my life for sure.

 

So the truck has been sitting for a long while. I really want to drive it but its just too hot outside. Its been about 105 here everyday and since I took the A/C out of the truck, its unbearable to drive. I've been thinking about putting all the A/C stuff back in the truck even though I've always had problems with it. I don't know If I would have to get some custom A/C lines made for it or not. Either way, I think it would be worth it. I'd have to find a new spot for my tranny cooler, but that shouldn't be too hard.

I think I will officially park it and start changing a bunch of stuff It sucks because it drives perfect the way it is now but I want to run more boost, have A/C, lower the rear end, add hydroboost, new fuel system, add leather seats, new carpet, blah blah blah.

I don't know If any of you saw my gpas new 2014 chevy truck or not. I posted some pics of it in the 20XX section. I did the lowering kit on it and then he added Roadwire leather seats. They turned out awesome and its got me all hot and bothered about putting some in my truck. Ever since I rolled my truck, it came back from the body shop with a huge hole in the carpet on the passenger side. Since I need to replace the carpet, and you have to pull the seats to do so, I figured I'd add leather while I'm in there.

So long story short, I'll probably be updating this thread a lot in the next few months with some big changes. Hopefully it comes out nice on the other end.

 

Today I put the compressor and accumulator back in the truck to test fit everything. Looks like I'm going to need a custom line going from the accumulator to the compressor. The stock one sits right on the downpipe and hugs the exhaust housing pretty well. I also couldn't seem to get the bolt started through the line on the compressor because of my turbo oil return. It needs to be another quarter inch right of where it sits right now. So if I can find someone who makes custom lines, I will feel a lot better about the line being away from the turbo.

Any of you guys had experience with custom a/c lines before? Is it pretty rare to find someone to make them or do most A/C shops do it?

 

A/C will be a huge deal once you get it back in.

it doesnt get that hot temperature wise in IN... but the humidity is awful. A/C is one thing i gotta have.

I would like to add leather seats to my sled, and get arm rest for the front seats

 

Leather is so expensive. Good thing I only have a reg cab I guess. I'm trying to become a dealer for one of the leather companies so I can start selling them and have some sort of discount.

 

Just found these fittings on ebay.

Looks like a good way to go. I also looked up how much hose costs.... $94.00 for six feet
