All night, that dude was either on the rev limiter, or the car was off. He's the kind of douche that give honda guys a bad name. The car was pretty fast on the nitrous, but he drove it like a dick lol...

So after the 180 degree IATs at the track and 105 ambient temp while waiting in staging...I decided I had enough motivation to continue/finish my wiring project. With the E38 swap I found out that I couldn't run the stock HVAC unit because the ECM needs to communicate with it over a low-speed data line. So that necessitated buying a GMT900 HVAC unit and a BCM for the interface. Had I seen some sort of systems diagram for the new trucks and known ahead of time that it was going to take so much work and so many add-on parts to make the E38 swap work as it should, I probably wouldn't have even bothered in the first place. While I was pulling wires through the firewall for AC stuff, I ran wiring for the meth injection, new stereo deck/amplifier and provided the proper wakeup signal for the FPCM so I can get that thing online as well.

Couple cheap pics I snapped with my phone

I think it turned out looking pretty nice. Seeing a decent finished project makes slaving for hours over a hot soldering iron a little more bearable

Pretty cool what youve done putting all the new stuff in an old truck. Where are you getting all your wiring diagrams from?

Your head unit looks like it should startup and say " good morning, Dave"

I get my diagrams from alldata and various places on ls1tech. And Richard, with the amount of computers and data lines this thing has now, I'm half expecting the whole setup to become self aware lol.

Looks like I have a bad BCM.. Its showing symptoms of a dead module...some of the HVAC LEDs stay slightly illuminated with everything off. Anybody know where I can get a cheap 2008 silverado BCM from? This one was $120, sucks just losing money like that.
