LOL The TA's issue is to much power for the suporting cast. When the tranny goes I am going to pull it apart in my garage and put good **** in it. Hopefully it will last a while after that. The 4L80 swap requires a stand alone computer for the shifting.

Hope? What's that? LOL The TA's issue is to much power for the suporting cast. When the tranny goes I am going to pull it apart in my garage and put good **** in it. Hopefully it will last a while after that. The 4L80 swap requires a stand alone computer for the shifting.

Well ****. I finally got the Hell Blazer moving on its own accord. The idle is A LOT better now with the O sensors in. At idle there is nary a sign of leaking. I pull the jack stands out from underneath and put it in reverse. The truck slowly moves in the desired direction and after some manuevering it makes it out of the garage.
I leave it idleing and no leaks. So I tell the wife to get the keys to the TA and follow me to exhaust shop. The computer is in limp mode and wont allow for any acceleratiion what so ever. I am okay with that. It takes about 5 minutes to get to the shop. I pull into the parking lot and turn the truck off. As I sit there getting everything out that I need, I notice smoke pooring up from the engine bay. DOH!!! I get out and look and can't see what is causing it. I start the TB again and look underneath. Oil is freely coming out now. I believe I have left some provisions for the PVC system unhooked. It is coming from the passenger side. Either way it will have the pipes on tomorrow and I will figure this latest issue out. I almost don't know what to do with myself now that there isn't this big black chunk of metal on stands in my garage.LOL I hope it is simple. It usually is.I have found some stuff that looks as though it should have gone back on.LOL I also hardly had any breaks.

LOL Actually I sometimes wonder. This is the longest project I ahve had to do. With the 15th coming up, I am not to concerned about the leak. My plan was to tow it to the shop. But, I got in and figured why not. It's just a few miles. And yes.............the kill stories should be exxxccccccclllllent.

****................... I think I may have a cracked head. Oil is coming from somewhere above the bottom of the exhaust manifold and no sign of leaking from the top......at all. If you look through the wheel well, you can see splaters falling. Hell if I can tell where its coming from. And I lock tighted the shiznet out of those god damned E manifold bolts! DOH!!

That was my initial thought too. I know I left the evap tube off and the hose that goes from the top of the intake to the back of the drivers valve cover. I figure it was spewing from there. Much to my dismay it was not to be.....
I did just 10 minutes of video of my wife crawling around under the truck for. That alone almost makes it worth it. And she was in her "good clothes "persay. LOL Now she know how easy it is to get dirty by accident.

Well I reconected the plug wires and crawled under the truck whilst it was running. I can clearly see splatter coming from between 4 & 6. I can't think of NYTHING ELSE BUT A f'N CRACKED HEAD.
