I gotta way good with only 2 tire (1 was 4 months old) they hit 7 cars and a RV. one neighbor has a lifted for truck they slashed all 4 of his and his dads and his sisters car. over $1600 of damage with them alone. Family don't have money to pay for the damage. his buddy who helped him left and he doesn't want to tell on him so he's taking the fall alone.

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

Hate to see that. His parents should let him work restitution with a lawn mower, give him plenty of time to think about where he went wrong.

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

that's what the cops said one or two neighbors agreed to that but the others didn't feel the same way. the lady is a single parent and she adopted like 4 kids. I feel bad for the kid but at the same time he did cost me a pretty big chunk of change for 2 big tires plus my wife thinks we should move because of them.

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

and so continues the bugs. I bought a new fancy toy ultragauge. yesterday I found out my temp was up to 230. the thermostat was the stock one so I traded it out this morning. i'll see how it goes.

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

this was this morning after hot rodding it all the way to work. hopefully I fixed the problem. the old one was really soft like I could press the spring down with one finger Attachment 1551930

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

If the spring was soft wouldn't that mean it would've acted like a much cooler stat? Just wondering.

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

I was thinking the same thing but I know these LS motors run hot so maybe it's not letting the coolant cool off I don't know I'm hoping that's it

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

I tried to see but couldn't tell. What does your cooling fan setup look like?

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

I have 2 electric fans that kick on at 190. originally one was kicking on at 190 but the other was not working right I assumed it was because I had him set it up to go on when I turned the AC on but I haven't put the AC in it yet. so I ran the wire to the fan 1 wire. my buddy said its not a good idea to run both fans at once it would take away from the air flow

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

Not a good idea to run both e-fans together? Never heard that before. I promise that is what you want to do. Move the most air possible. Also, not all fans are created equal. I don't look at CFM ratings. I look at how many amps the motor is. That will tell you way more. SPAL and Cooling Components are a couple brands that make quality fans.

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

i pretty sure the bigger fan was 1350 cfm not sure on the smaller one

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

took advantage of this hot day and took the blazer out for a 30 minute drive on the freeway and slow traffic. the highest it went was 223 for maybe a minute then drop down to 220. I'm only running one fan right now. I need to find someone to program my secondary fan or see whats up with it. it not keeping a constant signal it will just sorta sputter the signal so maybe it was the thermostat

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

What ECU are you using?

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

yea so funny story. I have 2 fans behind the radiator(in front of the water pump) and um well I wired them backwards. I mean I wired them right if the fans were in front of the radiator but in this case well you know. they were puling air from the motor instead of pushing it. so on my 20 minute drive to work I was getting a 195-197 reading.

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

its a 2001 ECM. the guy who did it is going to check it out Saturday because I'm still having a issue with fan#2. its pulsing a signal so its not staying constant to keep the fan running

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

Glad you got it figured out.

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

yeah so you were right my thermostat was ok

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

so far so good this bad boy has a massive amount of power. currently dealing with a fuel gauge issue. weather the sending unit is plugged in or not it pegs to 3:00 I have a new gauge and sending unit and replace the sending unit wire. so I'm at a lost right now. I also deiced to shoot some satin black on it.

Re: LS swap for my 75

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

Are the fenders supposed to match? j/k, looks good! Are you going back to blue and white when you paint it?

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

Lol funny guy yeah I'm sticking to the stock look. I just have a lower quarter pan with some rust and a few other small things. Pretty much stock look

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

Man I got no luck. I put a new sending unit, new fuel gauge and it still dont work. I tire it down today so my brand new sending unit isn't working or the 75 gauge dont work with 87 sender

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

Did you check the ground from the sender to the frame?

Re: LS swap for my 75
 

Yes sir. I pulled the sender out of the tank and both my old and new one grounded to the sane spot. My original one work like a charm the new one didn't. It goes straight past full to 3:00 position
