well all good fun came to an end yesterday, Looks like that burn out ????? will have to wait as i blew the tranny yesterday on my way home from work. i had the first gear hardly could go on 2nd, no 3 rd and no OD. not sure if this is a tranny problem or a torque converter. i doubt it is the torque! ...

WOW, just put the insurance back on the van and went for a little test drive. damn that van is loud, but it sure turned a few heads though, as i was about to leave the pub, a bunch of kids with a pick up of a size of a monster truck parks beside my van and they just looked at it not knowing what was...

Ladies and Gentlemen Glad to report that the van is complete. FINALLY!!!!!! the only thing that needs to be done is the Exhaust, beside that? SHE is complete, she drives, she stops, she doesn't burn oil nor have any leaks. that beast is now bone dry and drivable the van backed in with no problem htt...

FINALLY!!!!!! Some good news after some BS going from yesterday. tried to replace my knock sensor after my scanner found some issues that came down with 3 codes. 2 of got out of the way after replacing my Map sensor and fuel pump relay, Later to find out my Knock sensor was hooped even though it was...

Thanks gary, looks like i found the problem, but will pm him if that turns out to be a head banger afterwards. ;)

Thanks Lifted. she is getting there, baby steps, not fast enough for my taste. but it is getting there. Now back to the issue? i can't believe it. My new Ks is hooped, im not reading anything of it. I have taken another one out off my older model V8 350 off the Suburban and currently reading 3.8 Koh...

Here is pic of da beast.



will be working still on it today until i figure out what is going with the Codes. BUT she is looking pretty.

Well i found more info around about the code 43 and for those doing a V8 swap like me, i just thought i should share it with you guys. " If you're getting a DTC 43, you need to check the Knock Sensor first. The knock sensor is located on the side of the block, right above and in front of the st...

Well a little got done today as I replaced my map sensor and checked all my wires for the fuel pump relay and all is good so far, but sadly enough, I still have that code 43 for ignition failure. I checked the wire and the wire is good. checked the voltage and reading 4.97 volt at the end of the wir...

True to that, I just found out that my fuel pump relay is compatible with the v8 ecu as only two parts number fits and mine already on my astro is a match. So that is a good thing. Just need to slap that map sensor back in it and will see if all goes well and will trace the wiring issue with my knoc...

Some mistakes will cost you a lot of money and sadly enough, i have learned from it. Another 200 bux spent this week end for a Distributor shaft since i forgot to take it out when we put the new motor in. Then i went back to Lordco "local auto parts" after reading my scanner with 3 faulty ...

OOOOkkkkkk The motor started fine, but i damaged my distributor shaft in the process of putting the motor in. So just replaced it today, did the break lines last week end and will be doing the front breaks next week. Also got the down pipe installed and put in my new O2 sensor The good old SES light...
