Finally....Da new rig..

[crash2]

I got the whole front of the car fully wired up to the electrical center...

 

[crash2]

More panels going on....

 

[crash2]

I got the heater installed and holes popped thru the firewall and heater hoses ran. Its pretty tight but everything fits...

 

[crash2]

I got the electrical center finalized and added mounts for the circuit breakers that will be used for the high output stuff.

 

[crash2]

I got the dome light and light bar installed and wired.

 

[crash2]

I got the center console installed and the vent ran from the heater to the outlets....

 

[crash2]

Everything starts with a mess with me,lol...

 

[crash2]

So it took a bit of work and was certainly in a pretty confined area but I got the electrical center done. I did forget one circuit that I will add in this weekend but its pretty much done in here. I always build and then add fiuses per each system to test and verify.....

Nice work Crash. :cool: Much cleaner than a lot of builds I have seen.

 

[lethe]

Where do you get all of your electrical supplies?

Thanks glen

So I got a bunch of stuff put into the car--center console/dash/switch pod and shifter. The shifter took a bit of work. I first found the backup lamp switch brackets on the shifter housing was binding up the shift cable. Once I got that fixed up it was a matter of figuring out the needed process to get the shifter into place--should be easier next time.

With those items in I was able to start throwing voltage and was happy with the interior lighting...

 

[crash2]

So I got the sub box all done(wire pass thru installed) and installed and the center console storage and the wiring all hooked up.

 

[crash2]

I got the air system all plumed and finished. I ran the pump and found a damn leak. Well low and behold both the arb solenoids were leaking. I suspect they had been leaking for some time as my old york seemed to come on too often. Got them both replaced and the system fully functions nicely.

 

[crash2]

Got both seats and belts installed. Taking shape...

This Thing is BADASS!!! :D
When's the Shakedown????? :corn:

 

[PORTER]

Everything looks great with the exception of the front clip, just when I thought you moved up in the world.:fawkdancesmiley:

Very soon kev.

Ya can't move up when your at the top :awesomework:

 

[crash2]

I got the roof put on and more parts--its really looking like something with every step. So the time had come to fire it off. I threw some gas in it, fuel pump did its 2 second prime and nothing-grrrrrr. I could not hear the pump run while cranking and the check engine lamp was not coming on. So I hooked up the scanner and no crank rpm-hmmmm...

So I did a quick basic check and found no voltage(12v) at the crank or cam sensor. I ran those 2 sensors off one fuse. So now I had to dig into the harness and I don't know how the hell I did it but somehow I got one power circuit mis-directed(ecm was supposed to have 2 fused circuits one B+_ and IGN B+). Well I had 3 circuits and the cam/crank simply wired togther-oooffffff... Can't believe I did it but I fixed that up. Now onto the ses lamp the ecm ground command was there and pulled the dash top--well I totally spaced the fact it being led and got the circuit backwards--fixed that and ses lamp works.

So I cranked it over and it spit/popped. Well when I had the motor out prior to painting well I had spaced off making sure the distributor was correctly indexed. Well guess what it was off and the damn crank pulley has 2 marks. Well I got it corrected and the damn thing fired right off...

 

[crash2]

So I got it fired off but I had no coolant in it yet because there was one thing I needed to try and figure out. So the vcm I have is also used with the 7.4 truck/suburban. Well one neat thing about that is the fact the 7.4 has an aux. fan thats vcm controlled and when I had the vcm re flashed he had enabled that system. Well it took some digging to figure out the correct terminal and added that to the system to the fan relay. But I needed to figure out if I could enable the vcm to control the fan before filling the cooling system because if it didn't I would need to add a control switch in the passenger head. Well it took a number of shots but finally got the right resistance of 229 degrees and the fan came on. Its programmed to come on at 210 and off at 200 which is nice for the heater.

 

[crash2]

So I had one open 12v circuit at the constant 12v fuse assy so I chose to hardwire the battery tender connector (easy access just in front of the passenger shock tower) and I finished off fitting the electrical center lid.

 

[crash2]

So it was time to drag out the dual charging setup that I built and charge them shocks--yes!!!

So once charged I filled the cooling system with coolant (no leaks) and ran it hot--the fan operation is perfect. I gotta say that radiator is pretty damn efficient. On my old rig the fan would run for like a lil over a minute and this time it runs for like 20 seconds--and you can watch the temp just drop rapidly.. I also filled the tranny (no leaks) and both diffs...

 

[crash2]

So I got the side panels on---and drove it outa the shop for the very first time. Its sitting kinda tall as I am still playing with the charging setup...

 

[crash2]

So one thing I still needed to address was the air filter. I had done some measurements and took a stab and ordered an air filter and some material to build the inlet pipe. Well I am still amazed I pulled it off. I know hot air is not the best for inlet air but I really had no choice. One thing I did do was build a shield for under the filter to keep direct heat off the filter. But I think it will work good and I was happy to get that taken care off.... That only leaves one thing with any amount of work left and that was the hood which is coming up very very soon.

 

[crash2]

So my buddy matt stopped by and helped my load both winches with rope (rear winch switch is backwards---grrrr,lol).. I absolutely HATE the hooks on the ends and will be cutting them off and going with a D-ring thimble (probably factor 55 prolines)..

 

[crash2]

I got the shocks adjusted to very close to ride height. I know they are still new and very stiff so I will be playing with pressures for a little while..

Just need some video action now..............

time to put it up for sale ,the fun part is almost done
