Re: ABS dummy light on problem and diagnostic method

theres guys that can fix this for around $60. its just a matter of soldering a few contacts in the unit itself. the hardest part is getting it off of the van, its held in place by 4 #20 torx screws. you can find youtube how to videos on the soldering points if you want to try and do it yourself. Do...

Re: 383 or 5.3??? Help me decide.

If going into an AWD, my vote is for a 383. Oilpan mods, movement of the A/C compressor, fabbing of mounts, extra wiring, and electronic throttle or cable conversion, takes away valuable time and money that could be spent on building a 383 that will bolt in easily with available parts. (Although, i...

Re: 383 or 5.3??? Help me decide.

Ok. So after all the research I've done so far I'm definitely leaning towards The new generation of motors. It seems everything for these guys is available. I can keep the motor mounts I have and get the LS conversion plates that will bolt up. Can even find them to move the motor any which way to en...

Re: Rain dance

I am still in New Hampshire Gary, my move to California is delayed due to homes being sold so fast out there. Basically once a house goes on the market it is under contract within a week. Which means you have to have a great realtor and cash to buy a home there. There is apparently more buyers then...

Re: 383 or 5.3??? Help me decide.

Well what I can say is this is not an easy choice. The more I look into it the more pros and cons I can see with both options. That seems to be the biggest problem. Both options are great choices in their own respect. I found a local old time hot rodder who is big into the LS motors and am trying to...
