Yup, Jared hooked me up. Bet he wanted to slap me up side the head a few times lol! But yeah, she running! Glad my D.I.Y Harness worked! Have to check some things over to be sure!

Holy sickness! She sounds better then mia!

I didn't get to watch the video earlier because I was on my phone, but she sounds awsome!

Congrats on making your own harness and having it work. I was too scared to do that. What are the loose ends you need to tie up?

Thanks Greg. Damn I couldn't hardly stand being at work yesterday. I wanted to finish the loomong and light wiring ( Head lights, heaterbox. ect).


I'm sending back the ECM to Jesse @ wait4meperformance.com to reprogram the Fan Control.

What you think? Should I wire them both to come on at once. Or sept timing? Shouldn't be a problem. Since I dont have A/c.

Jesse did it right on the tune, I just forgot about the fans. It started right up!

The computer is learning. Everytime Its started, the Idle gets cleaner.


Ruby is her name.

I did mine one at a time, one comes on at 200 the other at 215, i've yet to have both of them kick on in 105* weather in traffic or on the freeway. but I might change that when I find a lower t-stat.

I know how you feel about not wanting to be at work. I''ve finally figured out most of hp tuners thanks to some good beginners guides and tons of reading and I just want to be at home tuning her. I got most all my AFR where they should be and got my tranny set where I want, now I just have timeing and alot of logging to do, but she is ready for her first track runs. might sqeeze in a few this weekend if I can, if not then i'll have more time to tune her and will hit it up next weekend.

the little bit of tuning that I have done so far has turned her into a different truck, I want to get her down the track and on a dyno so bad!

No ****. The Dyno is the only way man. My buddys Eagle Talon was quick with the new engine( Don't know what he did, stroker of some kind, Import **** I have no reason to learn) and Big *** Turbo.

After the Dyno Pull, and Retune LORD HAVE MERCY!!! That thing is Nasty!


Let me know how she runs for ya, and what you had to tune. I share my little info with yeah.



Hows the Other Lady (Yellow C-10 Truck) going?
