My truck is under a camo tarp hibernating this winter.. I hit a sold concrete wall earlier this year when thieves raped my tool boxes and took my tool bags along with a bunch a truck parts I had. It could be worse, moving on and just piling on tools and parts for now.. got a whole lot more 7.62x39 too!! Haha

 

oh dang! that sucks man, I had a truck bed toolbox that was stolen with a bunch of tools and parts in it too. I keep on wondering where something is, then realizing it was in that box.

I was definitely under the hood under a tarp in the rain this morning adjusting my TPS.

 

Does it come out of spec or you replacing it

 

I wasn't getting the idle to drop when I plugged in a jumper to the test plug, which usually means TPS issues.
I did do some work on the throttle body, so I readjusted it and think I got it adjusted properly.

 

Someone broke into my Chevy Colorado. I didn't have anything in it, but now I have a bunch of broken glass and a gallon of rainwater. That 700$ for a new window would've gotten some nice parts for Betsy, but now it goes to a piece of glass that some subhuman piece of shit broke antagonistically.

 

Daanggg. Fucking kids!!

 

I think I have the gauge cluster bacing plqte where I want it. It is .063" thick aluminum. To protect it while fabricating, I covered it with blue tape.

 

A step in the right direction!

 

Going to use hole saw? Drill press?

 

Hole saw. it was ok for the smaller gauges, for the large one I used a jigsaw, and for the indicator and warning lights I used a step bit.

 

I wrapped the interior wiring harness, then put some of the heating system back.

Before reinstalling the heating parts, I took eeeverything out, and put some insulation strip on all of the vent flappers and duct joints.

 

Keep up the good work!

 

My old horn has been dying for a while. It was probably the oroginal, so I decided to replace it with something a little more modern.

 

Oh yea, that's going to stand out. How's the sound?! I heard these come in all sorts of tones.

 

Took a couple drives this week, and everything seems to be working well. The alignment could use a little tweaking, but the engine and all worked great.

 

This truck is up and running regularly now.







under a lil cover the horns look cool too





The intellitronix variable speed fan controller is also working out very well



There are a few things left to do, but I am super happy with how things are ending up.

 

Niiicceeee

 

That intake has a bigger ID than a regular one right? I know some one selling one and I might jump on it

 

To be quite honest, please don't do that. These turbo engines are rare and parts for them are even rarer. You would have to modify the pipe quite a lot to make it work with your vehicle, and you might as well just fabricate something from scratch. You will also still have the air flow restriction of your MAF.
