Got everything fitted, some small minor stuff left but I'm happy with it!

Lookin' good!

Thanks Phillip, need to test fit the bed, widen the wheel tubs, do some firewall repair and cab repair then send her to the painter.

Long time coming, I'm very excited to be this close!

OK have a engine question for you LS Tuners:

Went for another test drive everything was great and the only thing that was different is I hooked the alternator up to the battery, volts showed to be close to 15 which I thought was high but the truck ran fine. Drove it about 4 miles, parked it in the driveway to show to my neighbor. Started it about 15 min. later it ran for about 10 sec then sputtered and died. When I tried to restart it had a knocking sound so I pushed it back into the shop.

I was not in the mood so I let it sit a day and turned the motor over without power to the ECM, had oil pressure, turned over just fine, no noises. Hooked everything back up, she turns over great no noises but will not start, does not even attempt to fire.

I have a pressure gauge on the fuel line so I have fuel.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

**Hart_Rod** · 11-05-2015, 11:42 AM

What fuel pressure are you getting at the rail?

**66ChevyMax** · 11-05-2015, 11:52 AM

60-65lbs

Have you scanned it? Are you throwing any codes?

**66ChevyMax** · 11-05-2015, 12:00 PM

I have not scanned, I would like a recommendation on a scanner as I will obviously need one in the future and NOW!

Thanks,

Thanks,

I would recommend buying HPTuners Pro (or EFIlive). It costs more money, but it gives you the tools to work on your tune.

Ok found the problem, I strapped the fuse box to the inner fender for the first time since I had the hood on. I didn't put the cover on the fuse box so the strap went across the ignition relay and all the vibration wiggled it loose. Removed strap pushed ignition relay back in and she fired right up.

Switching over to Hydroboost, other set up was just too soft!

**66ChevyMax** · 11-09-2015, 12:29 AM

Took a long test drive today, man this thing needs a windshield

Brakes work much better with hydroboost.
