Maybe send Dave a link to the relay
in all fairness, I have the same cold start stumble so I don't think there's a connection there.
However the dumptruck trans allows me to slip the clutch and GTFO. If I let it warm up for a few minutes it's fine (normally what I do).

Yes that's why I waited for this motor; roller cam, 1 piece rear main, and non-vortec heads. https://www.high-performance-engines.com/chevy-350-base-engine-345hp-p/hp98.htm And I wanted something a little more HP than straight stock.
Keep us posted how you like that, one of my distributors sells those ATK engines but I don't have any experience with them.
I'm waiting on an ATK 2004 Ford 5.4L from local parts store now. Heard they do good rebuilds. We shall see.
I did a little research on them beforehand and there are 2 divisions, one that does standard engine rebuilds and the one I ordered from is the "performance" division. The performance side seemed to have pretty good reviews and I even saw at least one employee active on one of the muscle car forums.
I agree, might as well just throw that engine in there.
Is it possible to pull the engine and trans together out of these trucks?
Putting a tremmic 6 speed in it?
In a 2WD, it has to be, I've pulled them out together with a car. You just have to tilt the trans down in the back and then use a floor hack to hold it up on the way back in. And you have to dump the trans fluid if you have a slip yoke.
I wouldn't try it with a 4WD.

Easy peasy, just drain the trans like Heath said

I have removed engine and transmission bolted together on a 74 Chevelle and my first blazer a 74 Cheyenne. I pulled the stuff out of the chevelle had them rebuilt and put them in the blazer and we didn't pull the core support or front clip. It wasn't the easiest but got it done with some help.
That’s the way I did it with the C10. Make sure you put a bag over the trans output after it’s drained.
I knew it was done a lot on cars, but I wasn't sure if maybe the core support on a pickup would be too tall.
But maybe I'm starting to fall too far down the MAW hole already....

Sticking with the good old TH350. I actually found the rebuild paperwork from the previous owner. It shifts good, but I really like a good shift kit.
Your truck isn’t too tall. Should be good
I might still have an issue. Twice over the weekend I had the TPS jump up on me. It was just 3 or 4 percent. It only happened for 1 key cycle. What I noticed is it seemed to coincide with the fans firing up for the first time.
Remembering I'm running a Derale PWM controller, it has a soft start feature so it's not spiking a voltage draw. I'm thinking the PWM might be creating some EMI. This time of year the fans don't need to run during my commute. The 2 times this happened over the weekend was city driving. I'll keep an eye on it but come the summer I might need to ditch the PWM controller.
I don't think the controller was the cause of my previous issues because it's not causing the TPS to jump as much and not every time I drive it. But it was probably contributing.
