OH NO, not in dinga we dont allow full size 2wd trucks here. lol

is that a 350 or 454 ? warning dont do burn outs in it or the diff will fall to the ground, I blew one one rainy night in montana being a hoon (doughnuts) on kmarts wet parking lot ..lol its a weak point, boy did I work on a lot of those trucks in usa.

your in for a shocker on fuel for that pig, I had a V10 4x4 dodge extended cab, and those chevys were worse on fuel then that.

watch the heat, those vapour lock on ethanol fuel and overheat in traffic unless upgraded. , if you need anything my friend bill works for chevy in usa as a master mechanic .20 years now I think

and starters that fail from high temp headers , wrap the headers near the starter for sure.

looks clean for that year/model

350 TBi model, already has the holley upgrade throttle bodies, MSD ignition and a set of aftermarket headers.

Starter has just been done, so has the radiator and air con. It's 89 model running the 99 model front end, all this stuff is soooo cheap to buy from the states

The previous owner has done a couple of skids in it( bit of rubber spray under it) but it still drives all good.

In the process of throwing some fresh bushes into the front and and then head down for the rego swap to SA plates

And the fuel issue is no huge concern, Land barges are sorta my thing, from the Dodge i just sold to the slow and thirsty Stagea that is finally gone. this thing will only get driven 1-2 times a week and for towing the boat and holidays. if it gets that unbearable i'll just throw a 250lt LPG tank in it and run BBQ fuelthumbsup.gif

yep south confeds and yanks up north, I was from the wild west..haha its still legal to walk down the street with a rifle or pistol as long as its not hidden from view. common site during deer season , bunch of pickups, beer, orange vests, elmer fudd fur hats, and 7mm magnum or 30-06 with a better finish then a fancy dining room set has..lol

you know the place, every man, woman, child has at least 10 guns each ???

no no no Stirls, the toilet bowl flows the other way down here :P

down south they have outhouses still..lol

no low flows now in usa..... you have to flush 4 times to get rid of the dung pile a foot high after a night of tacos and tequila shots.. so much for saving water..???

*snip*

so that means i didnt see you parked at the BWS at Plympton this arvo then? :laugh:

Nice truck you've got there, almost tempted to suggest getting a PTO done on the gearbox and a tilt tray instead of the tub :P but you might put me outta business :rofl:

Hey Matty T - Pete & Jenna came round last Friday and picked up the car.

Stayed the night (they were stuffed after a 1300km drive), then drove home early saturday morning!!

So.... Ive got some money. Its a nice feeling, LOL, to not be -600 overdrawn each and every month.

1st thing tomorrow Im "investing" in a 4month gym membership.

footlocker in rundle mall. last pair of size 10s they had. price difference with eastbay isnt too bad once you factor in shipping plus theyre out of the black cements anyway

also orderd my concords a last week.

i could literally spend $20k on sneakers right now. and i would if i was that rich

Sheeeit. And I thought only chicks were that hardcore...

Could always petition your girlfriend for equal shoe rights - whenever she buys a pair she has to buy you a pair

Chicks are smarter than us tho. They'd just say 'gtfo'

:(

-D

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
