'86 Jimmy 4in Lift, 40’s, tons, 8.1 Swap- 700r4 said PNNNNN

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.
My power steering leaks so bad now I can't make it to work and back on a fill up. I used to just top it off every trip.
 
Started the truck and tried to make it idle for a bit tonight to get the steering bled. Only able to get it to run about 15sec at a time. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am still off a tooth with the dizzy, so that’s this weekends project.

But, I did get to cycle the new hydro steering, and I will say that it freaking rocks!!! Super fast and very powerful. Can’t wait to get it on some trails.

So I am finally throwing in the towel with this Professional Products system. A buddy of mine just called and offered me his new Fast EZ-EFI system for a price that's about $500-$600 cheaper than new. The system is still in the box, he is just going a different route. More details to come.

Find out if it's the 1st generation (what you have pictured) or the 2.0 version. The 2.0 has more features like timing control and electric fan controls. At idle, you HAVE to make at least 10" of vacuum for it to be happy. If you don't go big cam (eg solid roller or bunch of overlap and lift like I did), they do pretty well.

That said, the ECU on the 2.0 EZ EFI is upgradeable to the Sportsman ECU which is fully tunable. I had to do this for the cam and I'm still learning / dialing it in.

EDIT: The wire harness is really clean and well laid out. The negative and positive MUST be run directly to the battery to minimize noise in the power wires. FAST won't even give you time of day with tech support if you haven't done that.
