Gotcha, so 2018.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Lord I hope not that long for him to buy parts. I plan to have the truck running by tues.

[KF5ZXT]

I guess I better get second job...

[TxPlates]

And a third.

[MrQ]

Don't forget that you can put all that time sleeping to good use and work a 4th shift.

Big dreams cost big money.

[KF5ZXT]

But then when would I have time to monitor all of the activity on this board?!

[MrQ]

What activity?

This board gets about 5 posts a day, 15 at best.

[KF5ZXT]

/sarcasm.

I'm not too proud to accept donations.

On another note: I knew that cable order must have been a mistake. I ordered one 50ft roll to be shipped to BC location. Then went back and ordered three more a few minutes later. The first roll shipped out yesterday. I just got a cancellation notice for 'being out of stock' on the next three, saying I could go back and order more. I clicked the link, and surprise! It's now $113.08 a roll, vs. the $3.02 I originally paid.

How funny every one keeps jacking up the prices on you

[KF5ZXT]

Not sure why that's funny.

You now have reverse lights

[KF5ZXT]

Nice. Was it pretty easy to install the extra switch?

[Kris Guilbeaux]

We made lots of progress getting the truck running today. But it is running good right now, Also the electrical system is working much better, even the reverse lights work!!!

[KF5ZXT]

W00T W00T!

[KF5ZXT]

What was it that you guys thought should be run off the PCM? The electric fan and something to do with the trans! Torque converter lockup, maybe?

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Yes the plan is to get tcc lock up to happen via vss signal and the PCM to control the electric fan.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Did some work on the passenger fender. I'm off this weekend and plan to get a few more things knocked out on the truck this weekend.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Working keyless entry. Power steering pump pulley depth corrected. New belt is 88.5"

[KF5ZXT]

Looking good!

[Kris Guilbeaux]

So now back to a part hold we got pretty much everything buttoned back up on the truck just a few odds and ends and things we are waiting on parts for.





We did look at the ebrake and have a plan to make it work
We just need the new pads to make the modifications and get that knocked out. Also when might you get the seats to us.

Ok, I'll order the e-brake pads here shortly.

I also think that the 'throw' on the e-brake caliper needs to be modified to increase the tension when the brake is applied.

[AgPete139]

Kris, you're spoiling Randall. A/C, keyless entry, a fully functional truck now with Mastercraft seats...

Is there a an incorporated mini fridge/center console in the works, too?

What are you going to do the modify the tension. I thought it was a ratching pawl configuration, Couldn't you also relocate the e-brake cable bracket along the frame to a higher position to increase the distance & tension?

[KF5ZXT]

A fridge would be bad ass...

The caliper has a little arm on it that is shifted my the same amount as the cable throw. I'm thinking that if the length of that arm were to change, there would be more leverage on the brake. But I don't know it's been a while since I looked at it.
