Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Hey dman...what did u use for a fuse block cover? I need to get one for mine before water gets in it or somethin

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

the guy that did my harness did it, i dont have a fuse block cover, your talking about the ones for the relays on the harness right? i got them high and away from where water could get to them

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Yeah thats it...i have mine sitting on the inner fender. I have the notorious kink in my hood so i kno water will get in there especially when i wash the truck

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

id find a small box to cover them with, something easy to take off, id assume you have fuses in by those relays, so you want it easily accessible

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Yep the fuses and relays are all together

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

yup, looks like mine, should be fine tho, I've read that the ecu's are water resistant, and the relays are facing down, but for peace of mind id make a cover if water was getting in there

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Yea ill have to figure something out

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

i think id figure out that spark problem first lol

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

No its running good now...my buddy got all the coils firing...it was a loose ground wire for the coils...now its just the maf sensor thats no good. He even swapped out the maf from his truck to test it and it ran great. I already ordered a new one.

Did you have to modify the dirty dingo brackets? Running into some clearance issues.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I didn't use the dirty dingo mounts, I had a bit of a clearance issue but it wore down ( I noticed after it was too late, it's holding fine tho

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Gotcha... you don't happen to have that ws6 on craigslist do you?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

No, not at the moment, but been thinking of selling it

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Gotcha yeah there was one up there from your area. That's why I was wondering. I'm looking at getting my buddies '01 firehawk that's got 573hp... $11,000 is a lot though.
