88mjsally

Well I got the fuel rails on it which was a pain. None of the brackets would work with this intake so I had to make them work. It now doesn’t leak and I cranked it up but it won’t really idle at all. It’s probably going to get pushed in the corner for a while and maybe I’ll get back to it later. Not resealing the oil pan and rear main is biting me as it’s leaking oil pretty bad and the power steering pulley isn’t going to work as the belt is trying to walk off. I’m pretty sure the idle issue is related to the MAF but I’m not an ls guy so I’m unsure. Also really not happy with this intake. I’m very close to putting a rebuilt 4.0 back in it as I have one on a stand ready to go

Bump. Water pump is in and I’m about to order a clutch master and slave for it. Once I do that and put new tires on it the price will be going up or I’ll end up hanging onto it

1986 2.5/5 speed 4wd with most of the options including factory ac and all the chrome

Come on down! I’m not all that far

Got my computer back today! Put it back in and went to fire it up and the junky imported fuel rails leaked at every fitting no matter what I tried…. I broke down and ordered nice Holley ones from Summit Racing because I don’t want a fire hazard that I can’t trust. They’ll be in early next week hopefully

Also more than happy to FaceTime anyone interested or just talk on the phone about the truck. Just pm me for my number. I really would prefer it go to a good home to someone intended to restore it

It’s not posted there yet cause it’s not worth the headache right now. If I still have it in a couple weeks I’ll fix the few things wrong and post it there. Worse case I have another plan but I really don’t need another truck

It does have some really nice parts on it. It’s honestly worth more in parts than it is whole. Hoping someone will buy and restore it

Road trip!

Everyone on FB cried when I was going to part it out so going to try and sell it whole first

Posting this here for sale because I really didn’t need to buy it but wanted to save it from the guys yard. It was sitting for a few years but fired right up with a fresh battery. Does have pretty much all the options including factory air conditioning, tilt column, full cluster, chrome package and its 4wd. The guy I bought it from said it ran hot so he changed the water pump and radiator it didn’t fix the issue so he parked it. He had the wrong rotation water pump on which I am going to fix this weekend. Almost brand new aluminum radiator and I have a decent fan shroud I will install as well. Just installed new battery cables and replaced the fusible links as they were pretty hacked up. Will need a clutch master/ slave cylinder, a battery and new tires. Truck is rust free other than the front floors which is pretty typical. I will end up fixing this stuff if it doesn’t sell but figured I’d post it here first just to see if there’s any interest as it currently sits. Asking $2k as it currently sits, clean clear SC title in hand. I’ll increase the price and list it other places the more work I do to it. I can also deliver within a few hours of orangeburg, SC for an extra fee

Pretty much just been tinkering with all the little stuff the last couple weeks. Lots of general cleaning up and zip tying stuff out of the way. Took a few photos of the engine bay all finished up as well as of the finished exhaust installed. Only things really left are the plug for the VSS and the computer flashing. Had a “buddy” that was supposed to do it for me for the cost of the credits then he changed that so I sent it off to Brendan at LT1Swap who is going to do it for $75

Tom woods driveshaft arrived and got installed today

I appreciate it!

From what I’ve read you have to program the ecm for the different pulse count but that’s it. I’m hoping to have mine tuned in the next couple weeks so we will see how it goes
