as far as the tach, i forgot what wire i tapped into, but mine works on i believe 4cyl mode... 8cyl mode doesnt work, and i think 6cyl mode isnt accurate.. dude i love the way the exhuast looks... ive been wanting to re re redo my exhuast but havnt had the modivation.. might have just found it. ... looking at your truck makes me wish i didnt pass up a 700$ 6.2L with no accessories... i told they guy nahhh like a fool...

Glad you like the exhaust 87chevy

Its not done yet and probably can do it cheaper if u go without the cats, cutouts & mandrel bends pipes.
Man 6.2 for $700 thats a steal man

i would buy that and store it even if i had one in my truck.

Yeah about the fans fuse that's what i thought. The esclade uses something in same size as maxi fuse too. I don't understand why the ppl i sent the harness to didn't do that

About the tach i haven't really looked in it at all. I investigate in it when we take it to the tuner shop to figure out the tune.

went though a couple of diagrams for the 6.2L and couldnt find the white tach output wire that the 5.3 and 6.0's have... looking at the cluster pigtail connector, it might be a stupid bus signal. not 100% sure on that one. I wish I knew how to create a bus signal so the computer knows what im "saying"... ive wanted the tow/haul feature for the longest time...

Picked the truck on Friday Guy got over 400 rwhp on the dyno and damn the truck is scary anyhow i love the power and 6 speed is awesome.

Took the truck to the empty parking lot 10 mile away from the city and had little fun and to make sure everything is fine

Enjoy

Thanks nlped but sad to say it leaked oil out of of exhaust and fuel from somewhere around the gas tank after that day I Just sent it to the shop 1 hr ago

I think its a valve seal cause the truck works flawlessly and its not dripping oil now weird but still need to check out the fuel leak.

STOCKISH · 06-01-2010, 01:37 PM

Damn, if someone beat me like that I'd probably leak some oil or something out my exhaust too! Sounds wicked.

68 TT · 06-01-2010, 01:43 PM

Now it really needs those new tires.

Great job getting it all together.

I hope it turns out to be something simple for the oil & fuel leaks.

Thanks 68 TT but I still got the front to go thru

am planning on getting a set I need something with better traction i feel the truck wants to spin at 50mph when i hit on it its so easy to spin with these tires.
