Long overdue update...
Found a huge vacuum leak, reset the computer - throttle fixed. Next was the fans not working, with help of a good friend/wiring guru - we were able to determine something in the harness wasn't right. We did some wiring of our own and got the fans functioning properly.
Now the transmission, the original rebuilder has fallen ill and was unable to help resolve the issues. Today I went with my father to Monster Transmissions in Brooksville, FL. We picked up a 4L65E good to 550 HP. And dropped off the "core" out of his truck. Very professional operation and friendly staff. Now... to find the time to get over there and install it.
We have a different set of wheels on order as well. Just not happy with having to use spacers. The new wheels are having to be built, so it will be 4-6 weeks. Wheel Vintiques is the vendor.
