Well, have a little set back. Have to wait for an 05 throttle pedal adapter for the Copilot wiring harness. :sad:
No rush though. :ermm: Still in the process of wiring up gauges and stuff.

 

Copilot throttle pedal adapter is in. Started up truck to let it warm up for testing electric fan, Copilot, ATS trans, some of the gauges, trans fluid level, any abnormal sounds, leaks, ect, ect. Everything looked good for the trans re-learn. No codes either. :thumb: Drove it back into the garage. Disconnected the battery positive and left it disconnected to erase the running history. Trans re-learn next up. :thumb::thumb:

Still have some electrical wiring to do for gauges, heat exchanger fan and w/m. Though I'm already planning on changing the wiring a little...
Also added a 160amp alternator. The voltage was much steadier. Didn't like how the 03 voltage would go up and down affecting the performance and operation of the fuel pump, and other electrical accessories when the radiator electric fan came on. Much steadier voltage now. :thumb:

Ok, finally got two idle data logs done and sent off to Keith. :dance::dance::dance:

 

slooooowwwwwwwwww down here sport, I have some pages to read thru....

 

Is thiiiiiis sloooowwwwww ennnnooouuuugh Rick?

 

:lol:

 

Found my reading glasses I'm good now, all caught up....

 

I've had to do that too Rick.

 

:smitten:

 

Looking good. Is this the one your going to bring to the show?

 

:hide: you know if that RC had 2 extra doors it'd be sexy......:hide:


SRT wheels look good

Take a deep breath and relax. 80% of your old tuning problems just vanished into thin air...don't get too worked up if you hit a bump, I'm positive you'll get everything worked through

 

I'm trying... :thumb::thumb:

 

Looking good Stu :thumb:

 

Will have to move the passenger side O2 sensor over more to the drivers side header cross over pipe. It looks like it's reading both banks. If it works, cool. If not, will have to build the new turbo hot side a little sooner than what I wanted too...

Ok, just ordered from Jegs. 25" O2 extension harness, bung, and another a/f ratio gauge. Will prep the crossover pipe for relocating the bung. Also check for any hot side exhaust leaks.

Keith, does the passenger side O2 sensor give any indications that it might be going bad?

The O2 sensor bung for the passenger side has been welded on the drivers side cross over exhaust pipe. Did find two small cracks on the drivers side header. Easy weld fix. Just have to wrap up the header and cross over pipe, then install it. Should be able to get it all together tomorrow and then send Keith a data log to verify it's working correctly. rayersent:

 

The O2 bungs are a little close but very easily accessed too. Should work fine. I don't plan on taking the boost past 8psi with this O2 arrangement. Just looking to get the truck very drive-able with the tune on the street first. The welds aren't the best but, they'll work for what it is.

 

opcorn:

 

Everything is back together. Seems to be running better. Even the a/f ratio is looking better. (Didn't change the a/f ratio gauge yet). No rpm hunting when the a/c is turned on. Hope this works. Sent a data log to Keith. We'll see...

A little update. There's a problem with possibly an O2 sensor. The sensors look old so, I'm replacing them. Was going to replace them anyhow. Then redo the data logs for some trouble shooting from there. Hope it's just an O2 sensor. There was an exhaust leak before. I really appreciate Keith's help. :bow::bow::bow:

 

Well, new O2s. It didn't run good at all. :sad::sad::sad:

 

Going to go to plan "B". Mod the turbo setup to separate the engine exhaust banks to help the O2's work correctly. Had been looking at how it could be done the last few days. Just wanted to try if having the O2's next to each other on one bank could work. It doesn't look like it's going to work.

 

With all leaks repaired, re-install the old o2s. I've not had good luck with new o2s..
