I GOT A MOTHER F*****NG UPDATE!!!

WOOOOOOT


It's not running yet though :(

Oh it feels good to see it off the jack stands and outside of my yard. It's been at an exhaust shop for the last week. Wish I could have washed it off some but oh well. Here's some pictures I had to take while it was out. Now it's all on me, no more money needed, just gotta finish the wiring, AC, gas tank set up, misc.

I'm not terribly happy with the stance, I think the rake is too much. Not sure yet if I'll go lower in the rear or higher in front. I'm concerned about tire rub in front so I'm not sure it's safe up there.
 
Looks Great Brent! Stoked for you brother. Sure majes me remember mine and miss it too. Hows things? Give me a shout.
 
Looks good. I'd drop the rear a little. The front looks good as is. I going to put s 50 on my new ride. They sound nice.
 
Hell yeah man!

I would personally be stuck on raising the front versus lowering the rear. I think that if you raise the front, it would make the tire to wheel arch spacing more even. But bringing the rear down maybe less than an inch would add to the "down and mean" .... possibly? It would be neat if you could try both directions easily.
 
Man that looks sweet!

I vote bring the back down, maybe an inch. I dont think it looks bad how it is though.

I wish wheels/tires would fill up the wells of my truck that nicely...
 
Needs an inch spacer in the rear :). Just my own likes though. It'd bring the rears out to the same place as the fronts in relation to the fenders.
 
Working on it slowly. I know it's way colder around the country but for me, 57 during the day is damn cold. Tonight it's suppose to be 36, which makes the morning really cold for hours.

Anyway, been sick last couple weeks but managed to get some stuff done today. Since I sunk my steering column into the firewall I lose the option of using the reverse switch. So I picked up one from Lokar, which as I found out doesn't work on a 4L60e, but works on a 4L60. I didn't even know they made one lol. So, I made it work with a plate to space it out past the gear position sensor.

Just working my way along, wiring isn't fun but learning to solder is. Makes everything so much cleaner. I'm actually working on the Blazer's wiring too.

As I get closer to starting this thing, I'm wondering how can I check my wiring job? I've heard of testing the battery leads, like resistance or something, to make sure I don't have any shorts.

What can I do before I put power to the system? (I didn't do this for the Blazer, trying to learn and work smarter) :D

Click to expand...

Take all the fuses out, disconnect battery, and continuity test each half of the fuse socket to make sure there's not a dead short across and that the powered side of it connects to the battery cable and not ground. That should find any big problems.
