yep, Truckshop handles ALL my tunes

if you want a cruiser, i say a T56 bc its cooler IF the truck was already a standard, if it was an auto i say a TH350 but run a 3:73 gear and a 30" tire for cruising. if its strictly race i say TH350 with 4:10s/4:30s it's all in what the cam is and such ya know? but Truckshop can email you a tune already set up, he just needs your info. all this would have to be done through email of course bc he's not on here a lot and he's not a sponsor

pm me, skipperdaddy, truckshop for more info if desired. good luck and make a build thread

how did you get the dash gauges to work? . . . did you have a kit or just paired everything out on your own ?

i saved all the sensors, and cut everything out of the stock harness i didnt need. the water temp has its own sensor, the oil sensor too. the fuel gauge never got cut, just replaced the fp and put the hot wire kit into the FP really that Nelsons Performance's harness came with. i then T spliced the ALT wire into the NP harness and it worked great. the only thing it wont let me do is splice into the water temp gauge so i just added my own.

I might need to talk to you closer to spring.

Did you completely ditch the old computer? You didnt need any of it?

i left it, vs fighting to ditch it. i kept my A/C too so it runs through the fire wall. the speedo is tied into the stock speedo stuff thats in the dash. i can get you pics of it if need be. man, its really simple. the only thing i need to do is clean up the wiring (put loom and all on it) also if you can get the Y that goes to the radiator jug with your swap id advise that...from the Dealer it is 97.00 PLUS the jug at 97.00 and the cap is 29.00 the bad thing is all the junk yards around me didnt have one. i wasnt going to chase parts and drive 2 hours to get one for 75. i just bought new.
