Fryedaddy Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 Got it back on the road. It drives much better with 37s due to the gearing. Runs 60 easily. I’ll be highway testing it this weekend. Still have a small oil leak I haven’t found.
MiNi Beast Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 looking good. still dig the makeup. 3 most common oil leaks are valve cover, oil pan, and oil filter adapter housing (big o ring. )
Jesse J Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Looks great. love where the plate is and the bottle opener. taillights are on point. makes me want to get some.
Fryedaddy Posted March 1, 2021 Author Posted March 1, 2021 Went really slow and made sure the wires were installed correctly. I used the low temp soldering sleeves. They worked pretty good. I was impressed. Took a couple hours with breaks inbetween.

Thank you! The plate is just held on by dealer magnets. I move it around if the tent isn’t on it. 😜 always install bottle openers on my 4x4 projects.

Fryedaddy Posted April 3, 2021 Author Posted April 3, 2021 I running through the wiring at the dash and working on the heater core. This was a very unpleasant project
Fryedaddy Posted April 17, 2021 Author Posted April 17, 2021 Finally figured out the miss. It was the map sensor. I would plug the tube in and it was pulled loose with out me knowing.

It was shooting black spot out the tailpipe. fortunately, painless wiring makes the same fuse box
MiNi Beast Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 oh nice. didnt think about painless having a fuse block replacement. ummm....
Fryedaddy Posted June 16, 2021 Author Posted June 16, 2021 Took the Comanche to Rauch Creek with some friends. Ended up breaking the cross member so it’s in the garage again 😂

Beautiful truck btw, your inspiring me to let my project spiral out of control into something similar lol.
kidz429 Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Which painless did you get? Is it the inside or outside that the wireing is running to?

Inside, most 80’s GM fuse boxes will work. You will have to figure out the wiring because the fuses aren’t in the exact same locations on the painless box but it’s the same shape and fits the outer portion of the fusebox perfect.
