Awesome. Congrats!

To eliminate the brake booster as the source of the problem, I think I will disconnect the hose to the booster and plug it and see if the engine runs better. Anyone see an issue with doing this?

No such number in my 87-90 parts catalogue

Great to see your name pop up!!!!

Dude, Honestly the temp gauge and compass are horrible and finnicky. My temp does work now. But blinks. I have no idea how to permanently fix them so you're on your own. I plan to replace it with a 2"x 1" arduino board that shows my fuel pressure, outside air temp and then my boost controller settings.

https://www.youtube.com/@ochszy3831/featured here is my youtube channel! What I will do is post the videos here one by one and give a deep dive as to that state of the project to keep the form updated!

Well done! What's the degree?

It's me alright. I've sent a few PM's to some other guys but I figure a post y'all would be helpful. In short - I am still planning on making these, life just got in the way. We're finally getting to a point where I can actually unbox my new machine and get to work. I don't have a timeframe just yet but I will keep everyone posted as things start to happen. Some good news is I've made a few design improvements and am now capable of making the mudflaps as well!

If you take the air box out you can get to all the bolts from the top side. It is a little bit of a guessing game on the center 2 on the bottom but you can get them.

Congrats! Are you staying in Texas? I worked down in San Antonio for the first 7 years of my career.

Front wheel well done What to do when you really want to take off your hood prop rod and the nut underneath are spinning free and there is no acces to them . Drill a hole big enough to get your welder nuzzle and tack them in place Job done

Beats me, but someone else might know if that is a possibility.

Could you have damaged your booster diaphragm when you slowed down? I’m not very familiar with vac boost, but it seems like that could cause a vac leak that could cause weak brakes and poor running.

Yeah I've learned that can be an issue. I got a wrench on all the ones you can get to from the top and a couple were a little loose. I got to 2 bottom ones that I could snug a little and 2 were tight. But there are still 2-3 that I can't get to with any tool that I have. I'll need to find a 9/16 box end that is at least 2 feet long and I might get to the others.

Need a set!!!

Does anyone tried these? How is the fitment compare to oem one?

I'm very suspicious of the exhaust manifold, leak at the head due to jarring the engine hard one way then another. Check if your bolts are tight. The smoke is likely exhaust smoke.

Well the IAC was a good thought, but it is still clean from the cleaning last Feb, as it the TB. So that's no it I also noticed as I limped it into the garage, brakes are not working well. I know @89 MJ already mentioned looking at the hose to the brake booster, but it looks completely fine. But what ever failed is something that is causing very bad idle and at the same time power brakes don't seem to be working either. I currently have the battery disconnected in an attempt to reset the ECU. It's a hail Mary but it's something to try. If that doesn't work I'll probably have to trust it to one of the local shops since I'm thinking this is quickly getting beyond what my ASTM degree can handle.

Man I wish you were closer… I have a good 2wd one in SC and have been searching for a 4wd one for my dually Comanche’s ls swap

I don't know, the holes in the wall of my last shop made me chuckle after I calmed down....how you gonna let an old truck, made by Mopar of all people, get the best of you?
