I was able to use my Ecm to control my fans. Is there a reason you were not able to???

Hopefully you will be out of paint jail soon!!!

I forgot abut the ECM to control the fans. Its to late to have the sensor removed from the order as I received confirmation they shipped it out yesterday

[First c10]

Well you may not want to even use it.... possibly can send it back. I am also setting up the stock A/C sensor so my ECM knows the A/C is on and will operate/adjust the idle and turn on cooling fans.
I will be uploading the file I tuned possibly starting mine tomorrow.

[DWilbur]

That will be exciting get it started up and running. hope all goes well for you. With all the rain the last few weeks I'm going to play this week end fly my RC planes.

The big brown truck stopped at my house this afternoon just as I pulled up to my house with some bling for my truck. My Dakota Digital gages arrived and very cool.

[First c10]

Nice. Thry are cool. I have the vhx gauges and they are cool. But nothing like the the hdx gauges. You'll love them.

[DWilbur]

Well finally some work got done on my truck it has been sanded down and prepped for 2nd color.

[mjensen]

After texting Anthony the last 2 days he said my truck will be going back in the booth next week for the 2nd color. I have my fingers crossed.

[First c10]

Hey DW. I hope it does get in there I can’t wait to see the orange. Fingers crossed indeed.

[Mr. D]

That's awesome Dave!
Don't want to jinx you, but when/if it goes in for the orange 2nd color, be sure to post more pics!

Yes I will post some pictures for sure. I have not as of this morning received any pics from Anthony.

[DWilbur]

So no 2nd color this week. I did get my garage cleaned out last Friday. Also been thinking about seat & door panel material and color. I might go with Vinyl Doeskin or possibly Black.

Bummer on the paint!!! How are you doing your door panels? Covering the stock ones???

I have 2 sets of door panels to work with. I'm thinking about having them covered with vinyl so the modifications for the power window and door lock controls don't show but I have not thought much about it until I get my truck back.

I hear you but I have been thinking about the interior more and more!!! I don't plan to have a door lock button inside since I only have 2 doors, but I will have keyless entry with a key fob.
I believe you will need it with the crewy....unless you have long arms!!!hahaha

[DWilbur]

My power locks come with key fob witch will mak it easy to lock & unlock doors

[DWilbur]

After a month and half waiting for paint to be finished I finally got a hold of Anthony today and he said he is closing down his shop at the end of the year. so I asked him when is a good day to pick up my truck so I can have someone else complete the work and he asked me to give him until September 20 so I said okay. 2 and half week finished or not I will pick up my truck.

[Getter-Done]

I hope this situation turns out good for you.
This seems like a deal that could go Sour. IMHO.
Can you pick your truck up Now???
I would __ ___ __???
