New fittings we needed came in for the fuel system...but there were two of them missing...otherwise the fuel system would be complete and all that's left is wiring. Always something...haha!

Pending the weather and how long it takes to get those missing fittings in, I should be able to trailer it to the tuner to get the finishing stuff done in about a week and a half. Fingers crossed.

We'll see...I now have to figure out how the wiring is going to get done. The tuner was going to finish it, but now they're like 2 months back up...

They could still get me in relatively soon to do the dyno and tune, but they would need everything else done first. I need the car wiring done...so that's my pickle now. Before they were going to do it, but since those plans were made they got slammed.

I have a stock truck harness and ECU. The harness needs to be modified, ecu mounted, all gauges wired up to ecu. Radiator fan and trans cooler fan wired to ecu. Transmission wired in. Fuel pump relays installed and wired to ecu. Modify injector clips to work with harness.

I think that's about it. lol

Why don't you go to LT1swap.com. They give you step by step instructions with pictures of how to convert your harness into a stand alone harness. I did mine in just a few days and that was going slow taking my time. There is a bunch of information on that site.

After looking at LT1's site and seeing what they offer, I'm going to have them modify my harness and ECU.
For what they'll do it for, and everything they'll do, I think it's worth the fee.
