Traded my gfs corolla for this car because the guy needed something better for his wife ,

Mild cam, bored .030" over , under pulleys , efans, aem intake, edelbrock headers have a limited slip posi for the rear diff not installed yet ,
New camaro black steel take offs , hids , bolt on bag kit but lays frame and website claims to lay frame on up to a 22" wheel vlair compressors with water condensers and all the goodies, bed floor is raised instead of chopped open



First thing I'm doin is getting it a tune to get everything running good and see how much power it has , lights up the wheels , well wheel pretty damn easily lol.
Getting rid of the 96 bumper and installing one from a 2000
Have a shaved tailgate with a recessed license plate
Truck used to be a pest control truck so the doors and tailgate have pest control painted on them but the doors were sanded off so gonna see what I can do about an overall paint fix to keep the color before ending up changing the color ,

Seeing as how I sanded my 2500 almost a year ago and still haven't painted it I'm just gonna not rush the paint

The efans need a switch wired in , they are just hard wire for when the key is on , also would like to add a switch to the compressors
Want to throw some subs or one in a box in the backseat cause I don't wanna be in it with more than 2 people ever

The front turning sucks because I need bigger wheels to clear the shocks , doesn't help that they are stock camaro take offs so the offset is all 0 and shit
Also gonna add reinforcing to the rear end cause it seems like it needs it , this is my gfs truck technically so nothin to crazy is gonna happen but it'll be changed up , stoked to own a bagged truck always wanted one

As sweet as this damn thing looks it's actually screwing me right now. I didn't include it in the original post because I thought I solved it last night but here I am still screwed , it was built by tre5 but there's something fucked off on this truck and idk what ,

When I traded he drove it there , I drove it and we had to go to the bank and an auto zone and the truck was fine drove it to my gfs work slammed the truck and ate food. When I went to leave wouldn't start , but it started in neutral. Ended up at oreillys and there it stayed until we put gas in it even though it wasn't empty and then it ran fine again , before that nothin. This morning started it twice and then the third time when I was going to leave to emissions it wouldn't start again , no fuses are popped relays are good and fuel pump is new but it only gets like 7volts of power and I don't here it priming itself

Any ideas ?

The EGR modules like to go out in s10s and they make then hard and twicthy to start. Mine used to have problems with it until I replaced the controller.

Those mods with that motor should move it pretty good once its tuned. throw an MSD coil on it with 8mm wires and enjoy even more power. my 4.3 put down almost 300hp at the crank :D

Who should I have tune it ? I don't want anything crazy , just tuned at least so that it runs correctly with those mods I don't really need max performance



excuse the mark on my girls ass where I touched it lol she wasn't too thrilled about her white shorts or the fact that her truck doesn't run


Spent all day trying to figure out this stupid shit. Replaced wires cap rotor plugs just for the hell of it and some relays , tomorrow I'm gonna try the crank shaft sensor, found on the interwebs that a bad one makes for my current symptoms

Did a quick little bean job sand a more clear coat to make it look at least a little less shitty until paint or somethin

Also did a little test fit and got this tailgate painted

So long story short , truck didn't run and a pretty hefty bill later ended up with a new computer, pigtails, replacement of some of the harness , plugs wires cap and rotor and the truck now runs :(

But it now has a random misfire and the symptoms are of the fuel injector spider , so the truck is home and I'll be doing that myself , but wanted to know if it's realistically possible to simply clean them or just smarter to replace it ?

I dot know if it was replaced or reused during the motor/trans rebuild so as far as I know it could literally be stock

Also is there anything else I should do while its that far taken apart

Besides get a good cleaning on all the chrome haha
