  • HeY David,
    I have my tuning appointment setup for Tuesday morning. I know finally. I was hoping to have two seperate tunes done. One with a lower boost level for everyday driving and one that is more aggressive for all out holly shit. I was thinking for the street 18-20 psi and the other 22-24 psi? I don't know its been so long since it has ran right that I prolly couldn't tell if it was slow or not.The tune that is in it now is the one that was there when I got it from you. Do you think I should just use that tune and open the injectors for the additional displacement and call it a day? Any help would be great. I don't want to screw this up or look like a dumby.I installed some willwood front calipers and new rotors along with a new RPM high pressure oil pump recently. Thats about all that I have changed in awhile. I hope everything is going well with you and your family. Thanks in advance.

    Hive David,
    I hope everything is going well down in Va. for you.
    I have a quick question about the methanol setup.
    I needed to replace the pump (leaking). I want to go with braided lines and need to change the nozzle.
    Can you remember what nozzle is on the truck? There are now markings at all on this thing. I mesured it and it seems to be.076 opening.
    Thanks in advance.
    Oh I still haven't had this thing tuned yet!!
    Can't get anybody up here to get back to me when I try to setup something.
    People up here kind of suck that way.
    Later

    hey jeff, you arent being a pain in the but. these trucks genuinely just love being worked on..

    the 1992 volt meter is not a reliable way to measure voltage, open up bs3 and you can see (and record) the exact real voltage before you go digging into/blaming anything on that. if the voltage is going wild then that would all be in the new alternator OR that the wiring to the alternator is not correct or secured correctly since removed from the old unit.

    if the intake has been off (while changing intake gaskets) i would look to making sure again that the distributor is set correctlly, also look for any ground wires that may have been moved or are not on clean bare metal (no paint or powdercoat between)

    the fuel pressure should be set to 43 plus or minus a pound or so, more than 5# either direction could really throw off the fuel tune. you can check this by watching the fuel pressure while you key on and hear the pump prime (not start the engine, just turn key forward) it will settle once the pump is running so only read it while the pump is running, engine off. this way or remove the vacuum reference from the regulator and start the truck (but it will run rich while vacuum unhooked)

    intermittent issues are a real bitch.
    Hi David,
    I hope thing are going well for you and your fam.
    I have a quick question about the Ty.
    What should the fuel pressure be?
    I have had some issues as you know with the stumble and eventually the truck became lame.
    Changed plugs,cap,rotor,fuel filter,checked voltage at the battery and alt. They all seem fine.
    Then the truck started leaking coolant through the intake bolts. So off the the mechanic for him to replace the gaskets an such. That has been taken care of but the truck off and on wont run.
    When it runs it runs great,but when it doesn't it sputters and coughs like crazy. The 6AL has been bypassed and the truck runs okay. I will be replacing that ASAP. The funny thing is once in awhile
    if the truck is running with the hood up then you close the hood the truck will stall out. Loose connection? or Bad voltage regulator? I'm thinking it is the regulator as some times the voltage meter reads normal and others way to 18 volts. How do I increse the fuel pressure if I need to?
    Sorry to be a pain in the butt.
    Thanks
    Jeff
    Hey David,
    I just wanted to let you know I am installing an electric exhaust cutout and a 2" cowl hood.
    I am still having some issues with the engine. It is running way way rich. I think I need to remove the cat. I think it may have become clogged. I was thinking the o2 sensor has gone bad and causing a rich situation. do you think thats possable? I also bought a tuning laptop so I can try the timing sync situation you had mentioned. I will have it tuned by Harry Anderson once the miles are done. I am at 500 now. I will let you know how things turn out. How are things with you? Is the Caddy in the 10's yet! LOL.
    talk to you later.
    Jeff
    Hi Dave,
    I know you told me before what oil you use in the Ty but I forgot.
    I think you said Rotella?
    Also what do you suggest the plug caps to be.
    I think they are currently @.035.
    I was thinking they should be @.026.
    Thanks
    Jeff
    40 shipped paypal deezuns@verizon.net

    this will get you the 3 steel plates and hardware. you need to source the belt and ls1 tensioner
    Hi,
    I will call you today with a few questions about the truck if thats okay.
    I have the finances straight.If all the info works out I would like to come down and check things out and drive it home.
    Thanks
