I actually had some mild success tonight. I think I need to reflash a new tune and sort of start over. This is the best it’s ran yet.

'86 Jimmy 4in Lift, 40’s, tons, 8.1 Swap- 700r4 said PNNNNN
- Thread starter GWeakland620
- Start date
This is not a dedicated trail rig, but does trailer to the destination usually. I am currently in the planning phase of doing a 52/56" spring swap, and getting back to being more road worthy.
Now just deliver it to my house and your mission will be complete!
Meet me half way?
Also, does that front shaft look like longer than factory splines? Either way it’s double cardigan, and maybe it’s longer so I can use it after I clock the case.
Not sure, I haven't had a factory one apart for a while.
So first of all, who put those tags on this build? Lol @Bent77 @F.S.F.W
Secondly. This thing is now on a trickle charge. I want it running by the weekend.
Going to start with a new base tune and go from there. After I get a decent tune, it’s back to wiring. Then on to new shock hoops and actually wheeling it.

I don’t believe you.

So I think @F.S.F.W got me motivated to get going somewhere on this thing. Got home after work and spent some time with timing. Got it running pretty decent, but I have coolant in my oil and a nice oil leak on the back of the block. I think I messed up my intake gaskets 
Seems like 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

Bring it to Tuttle this weekend?
Nerp. I just have a standard 241 slip yoke right now.
Can’t. Gotta pull the intake again. Plus wife heads out of town for a business conference.
Are we still using the turtle thread to organize these trips?
Ok so some good news today.
1. The oil contamination was from the detergent I put in to free up a stuck/ticking lifter.
2. Coolant blow out was from an air pocket forcing antifreeze out.
New plan is to figure out my oil leak from the back of the block and throw a timing light at it to get it timed better.

Screw the oil leak...
My blazer leaks pretty much every type of fluid that's in the dumb thing...and I don't give a shiz. I just top fluids off before I head out to beat on it. Actually, the leaks mean I still have fluid in the dumb thing
I would, but the oil leak is a steady stream from the oil sending unit area. I'm ascared of fires.Screw the oil leak...
