Jas- Thanks man! Both myself and Team Green owe you big time. This damn tach is the last small problem I have to fix. I'm sure it something simple... Thanks again!!!

Hi, Anybody know where there is a link to a sy wiring diagram? How about what wires under the hood are for the tach... I know there are the 2 plugs coming off the coil- 1 going into the harness and the other going to the distributor- are either one of these for the tach? It seems like it is a...

OK, oil pressure gauge had spun over so I removed the cluster and cleaned the contacts. Only the tach doesn't work. Does anyone know the tach wiring inside the engine bay? Is 1 of the plugs off the coil for the tach? I should look for: -pinched wire harness (engine was out) -loose connections...

OK, Placed some hard rubber shims at the base of the shroud to raise it the 1" I needed. Everything is all set. Thanks everyone,

Patrick, The term 'fun' should NOT be attached to anything to do with this truck. It could be worse, it could have been a northern truck (all that AWESOME) rust to deal with.... Thank god my knuckles have years of scar tissue encapsulating them.... As far as the trans mount- brand new, poly...

Hi, using the Jeff Scott mounts w/ ES polys... The fan is rubbing on the top inside portion of the shroud- just below where the cross-over tube is (inside the shroud). Any ideas???? Flex fan concerns??? Thanks

Hi, After installing new motor mounts found that the fan is striking the fan shroud. I tried to 'raise' the shroud w/ spacers but the rad. hose and cross over tube push the shroud back down. So, I know need some experience/ advice on solutions. I did do an archieve search and found some...

Hey, OK, speedo is working as well as other guages. It'sjust the oil pressure and tach that aren't working :-? I did the following: -computer- all wires plugged in -fuses- all are good -fusable links- ok -wiring harness- not kinked or jammed -plugs are plugged in. Yes, engine and turbo were...

Update: Radiator support, radiator, A/C condenser, all brackets and pullies/ accessories have been removed. Headers and Downpipe are off!!!! I will polish them tonight and put up pics. I have to wait on call backs but they should be up for sale shortly. I will keep everyone updated. I found...

Hey Adam, Yup, it's Christians. Don't know about it running 'damn fast' since I only had a chance to drive it home from the trans shop in Jersey (at a blissful 45 mph) and once down to CT to figure out the problems w/ it. The A/C is damn cold, though... Since then, it's been sitting in the...

Hey, You can almost count on it Dave! Know anyone whose selling a used engine hoist????

Once again I have snapped. I have decided to remove the engine from the truck. I am buying a hoist this weekend (due to BOTH projects requiring frequent use) so I can yank it. Figure it's the easiest way to remove the: -Convertor -headers and downpipe -change the motor mounts -clean/detail...

Hi, The headers and d/p on the truck were custom made by a shop out in kentucky. Personally, I think they're better looking, better functioning and easier to change plugs (with pass. side wheelwell out, 10 minutes, with drivers side wheelwell in and rim off, 13 minutes. No special tools used...

Update: DS header is unbolted and off the x-over pipe. Now i have to remove the steering shaft to get it out. Started to unbolt the d/p from the turbo. Bent my Allen-head key on the second bolt. The damn thing is in there!!! Again, I am returning the truck to STOCK and I don't need the...

Morgan, it's yours. As for the rest of the stuff.... Anybody need or want any of it? I know you'll post it Morgan but would rather get rid of it all in 1 shot. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. I won't bring anything unless someone wants any/ all of the items listed above. Does anyone need...
