It's a nice day today but it will start getting colder soon. I am working on this outside so things may slow down unless I can figure out a place to store the '34 Ford Coupe so I can get it in the shop. I have been working on doing that for the last couple of months.... :( I think I am gaining on it though. LockDoc |

I made enough room in the big building to put the '34 Coupe in there so hopefully it won't be long until I have the Dually in the shop. I need to do just a little more cleaning first. I am such a "slopo" I also need to put the steering cloumn in the truck to make it easier to move. LockDoc |

OK, truck is in the shop. It's a tight fit but I should have enough room to get a bunch of stuff done on it. I started stripping out the wire loom on the engine today. I will be removing quite a few wires from it. I will be jumping back and forth on different things depending in how much time I have each day. LockDoc |

I had a little time to kill so I decided to get started on setting up the ECM using my HP Tuners software this morning. I got it all connected and the laptop fired up. I built a wire loom so I could do all of the ECM programming stuff on the dining room table. It makes it a lot more enjoyable to be able to sit down in comfort....:).. I got the original tune scanned and backed up to my hard drive, now I can go in and remove the VATS, EGR, rear 02 sensors, A/C, and 4x4 stuff. There are a few other things but I will have to look at my cheat sheet and double check. It has been quite a while since I did my '67 Panel Truck. In the picture, the large grey box in the back is the regulated 12v power supply. There is a separate rocker switch that turns on the power to the ECM. The large silver box is the ECM (Truck Computer), and on top of it is the Diagnostic connector from under the dash of the donor truck. It has the cable from the HP Tuners interface box plugged into it. The small grey/black box is the HP Tuner interface that connects the ECM to the PC. The PC will read the "tune" in the ECM, then you can make changes to it and write the modified "Tune" back to the ECM computer. The only thing you really have to remove to make the engine run is the VATS (key resistor chip) information that would keep the engine from starting. I'm sure some of this stuff will be pretty boring to some but I want to document it for future reference. LockDoc - |
Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread
Leon, do you have the pro version of HPtuners, or just the entry level version?

Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread
I am looking at installing a LS motor in my truck. I am only in the cost feasibility stage. Can you help others with your knowledge? Maybe charge us for your computer time?

Just stumbled onto this one and am so glad I did. The photo with the cab and bed on made me smile from ear to ear. Cannot say how much I like that.
I'm in to see how this comes out. |
Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread

Very cool that you've been able to get that set up and have that knowledge. I would like to be able to get to that point eventually. |

If an old school-old fart like me can figure it out anyone can. It just involves a lot of reading. All of the information is on here and numerous other sites on the net. Thanks guys. LockDoc |

Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread
Leon, I vote “ no” on the flares. The look you have now, is better and likely uncommon....
|
Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread
ya I'd have to see the flares I think. I like that look the way it is. there might be laws though in your state since they poke past the wheel well
