No........The Dakota Digital unit controls both fans separately.......

Ah yes, I read it incorrectly. It says an extra relay, not controller.

So........We did a lot of driving back and fort to the hydraulic hose shop......first to find the correct fittings.....(11/16-18 flared at the box and 16MM "O" ring on the pump) then fit the line and then Crimped....Got the pressure side installed then installed the reservoir and return lines.....added fluid and again......no leaks.....











Then I made a mount for the GM fuse panel and got it mounted...........then installed the modules.......the mess of wires is starting to disappear.....

I have been using the Aeroquip teflon hose with the super gem fittings for power steering. Easy to assemble and clock anyway that you want. Full Circle Turned me on to the EZ Clip fittings and hose for AC. Love them...

Getting near the end.......Got all the Dakota Digital modules in and wired....the GM connect and cruise set-up takes about 30 minutes to hook up......LOL.....I have to install the dash assy and wire in the cooling fan relays and get the console and shifter installed......that's about it........Here's a video and it should be going for exhaust next week

Looks and sounds great.

Regarding the air intake/tubing. Is that an off-the-shelf item, or something you have made?

kwhizz

Just parts I bought off eBay.......and welded in the MAF mount in the tube

Got pretty much all the Dakota Digital inside wiring finished today.......The car had a 4 speed and console in it.....Prior to bringing it over Keith covered up the hole for the shifter and bought a Shiftworks cable operated shifter assy........so....It was time to get it installed, but......it seems there are some adjustments needed to get the neutral safety switch adjusted correctly.......I'll get that set tomorrow along with getting the Gas Pedal installed..........then one step back.....found a leaky fuel line fitting at the gas tank.......and the lower dash A/C vents don't fit the under dash mounts......need to call them tomorrow and get the correct parts.........Going for the exhaust next Monday..............

kwhizz

Got all the A/C ductwork installed along with the vents.......the gas pedal also got installed......Ialso got started on installing the fan relays.......just need to get the wiring for the Trinary switch and a couple of A/C wires hooked up....then put the dash back in and get the neutral safety switch adjusted.......my one issue I have is a very slight gas leak from a fitting on the top of the tank.....Darn......need to pull the tank down and see what's going on there.......

kwhizz

Got the Trinary switch and all the A/C wiring finished today........then I moved on to the Fan Relay's.....That open area next to the Battery sure filled up fast......LOL........Done !!!........one of those stupid little things that was a little problem was the Brake Booster Vacuum line......the Power Booster had a hole size larger than most and I couldn't find a Check Valve to fit with the new sizes needed.....so....I made up a adapter and blended the large and small hoses together........Started to put the dash assy in.......I'll finish that up tomorrow and then the last thing (hopefully) to do is to drop the Gas Tank and reseal the pipe thread fittings that leak one drop at a time......Darn.......Gotta fix it....

kwhizz

Pulled the gas tank out today and got the leak fixed (Teflon Tape instead of pipe joint compound......Lesson Learned-AGAIN !!!!!)......Then I finished the Dash install......Started programming the Dakota Digital system and got a few issues........I'll call them tomorrow and their Tech Support will walk me thru the programming sequence........LOL.......Also.......the neutral safety switch is fighting back.........waiting for a call from Shiftworks to resolve that issue.....

Here's a pic of the dash.........(engine off , key on, lights on)Check engine light is on because the O2 Sensors aren't installed yet..........Going for the Exhaust on Monday........

That dash looks SWEET! and classy. Great job.
Is the fuel tank really full??
Will Keith do the 4-link swap on the rear end, too?
He's going to need some traction!!!

No....The tank is not full........need to check the OHM setting on the level sender...............

Advanced Design

Another great swap...and it is extremely nice for you to do this for Keith.

Those Dakota Digital VHX gauges look friggin' great.
