    Another 454 Vortec Build Thread - Documenting, Q&A, Help

    The EVAP sensor is held in with a barbed o-ring just like the MAP sensor on a 350, it's good to go. 2500/3500 trucks didn't use that sensor so your truck won't have the wiring for it. That's a 1 size fits all sending unit.

    Escalade 120mph gauge cluster for sale

    I always swap my odometer in when swapping clusters so the mileage remains accurate, broken odometer should be a non-issue here.

    Bought a CC Dually 454 Whipple

    So I'd driven this for the first time with the new brakes to hit the track last month and it (truck and Camaro) wasn't great. The front pads reeked more than I expected and I was seeing a little discoloration on the rotors. Even the old crappy nothing pads that were on there before didn't seem...

    Gabriel ltv shocks

    Bilstein and KYB off the shelf shocks are NOT high end. Monroe is short lived bottom feeder garbage and I won't touch them.

    You're gonna run the fuel rail covers?

    3500 cab swap

    Seems like you could just keep the harnesses that match the cab and call it a day.

    I ran with the ABS unit unplugged with no issues, but I also had the crappy never adjusted correctly wimpy 10" rear drums so that was never gonna happen anyway. I know my Z06 will default to a rear heavy bias if the pump isn't powered and our Envoy seems to be rear happy as well based on a...

    305 Is a Turd Correct?

    You sure it was the bore? There was some sort of mpg driven 5.0 liter limit imposed at some point in the malaise era. Not sure if there was a smog/guzzler tax beyond that or what.

    The ABS light would turn on. Yank the bulb. That's the extent of it. It would piss off a newer truck way more.

    The proportioning isn't dynamic, and it's set from drum brakes, not discs. It'll prevent rear lockups just fine because it won't send enough pressure out back to make that happen. Will it work? Sure it will. But not as well as if you just toss it and use the 800 master and prop stuff. I'm not a...

    TBI350 to L31 swap. I'm told close to impossible.

    Is the sending unit crusty? If not, there's zero reason to change it. You'll want a stock AC Delco pump, a 340 is insane overkill for a stock motor. Even a 255 is, but the bigger concern with the 255 is there are knockoffs everywhere. Stock is more than enough, you'll want a pump for a 96-97 350...

    Since the proportioning happens inside the ABS unit, you'll likely be tossing that in favor of something else to get the balance you want.

    I added a 2nd upper overload to my stock dually pack. I also think fondly of a GMT800 pack that came that way factory. Of course they do, probably do OK on a half ton. But I doubt the shocks do as well as a Bilstein.

    Meh, dampers might suck on those. Just get the right leaf pack for the job or better yet airbags for heavy hauling.

    I was told by Bilstein they have more rebound under the assumption the front bars have some crank to them.

    Something custom could blow it out of the water though. I'd love more low speed damping.

    1999 C3500 CC DRW Build

    Mine adjusted themselves? Not sure why you're having adjustment issues. I ran mine out until they kissed and it still sucked. Backed up a bunch and it was a little better. Took it out for a camping trip and that did the tricky. It's a longer pedal than my 1500 with JB7 master/calipers and HB...

    Furnace time delay relay for AC staging

    Couldn't you put a capacitor between the relay coil ground and the ground itself to get a delay on actuation? I seem to recall it delaying of off function when placed in front of the coil. It's been a while since I'd looked into this function but it isn't difficult to DIY. And I'm not sure you...

    Well odds are whatever disc brake kit you're considering is trash, so I'd recommend fixing what you have instead. Properly serviced drum brakes last quite a while. You've got the big 13" drums, they'll lock before the fronts do when everything's set up correctly.

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    In the grand scheme of government waste that's not even a blip on the radar. Don't sweat it.

    My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban

    This thread is kinda all over the place. Was there a specific problem you fixed or just getting it back together in general?

    TBI350 to L31 swap. I'm told close to impossible.

    That's a good point, swap out the dash and now it's 100% plug and play. Swap the door panels too and it'll match, unless the interiors are different colors.
