Default 1984 Silverado is FINALLY Alive

Finally got my computer/wiring situation figured out. For any who remember, 07 Silverado 5.3/4L60 into 84 C10. Had factory wire harness modded by Current Performance Wiring, ECU programmed by Wait 4 Me - was a nightmare. Jared @ CPW eventually undid whatever Wait 4 Me tried to do (after mailing it back and forth for months ???) and it finally runs and moves under its own power. Thanks again Jared! Wait 4 Me may be great for just a tune, but don't ever have 2 different places tune and do the harness - no matter what he said it would not work. Anyway. I have no camera to post it running but i'll get to it soon. Thanks to all who helped along the way.

Is there a build thread? I'd like to do this (eventually) to my '92 pickup that I use as a camper/tow rig...
