88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

88GMCtruck · May 12, 2016

I'm using a flashscan V2 so I can see a ton of information including the bank lean/rich. I'm not sure how the IAT sensor is with my tune, I will have to compare the logs after I make a new one.

I do know I haven't seen a misfire count that appears to be anything bad at this point.

Welp, made it from Auburn WA to Reno NV and back over the weekend.

I did put another new tune update on it, and the idle is a little better... Ran good both ways.

Awesome truck. your build thread has given me a ton of ideas for my ccsb. Have you happened to come across any 99-02 steering wheels with the controls? If you do I would gladly take one off your hands. I have searched every salvage yard and parts vehicle I can around here and Haven't had any luck. Thanks.

I haven't looked in awhile, I will keep an eye out. The combo usually runs $70 total with an airbag....

--------------------

After updating to my latest tune it has smoothed out some, between that and the ignition upgrade it seems normal now.

Anywho.......

Made a trip to Reno and back the other weekend, here is what my mileage ended up at on the way down. I managed to go over 9 on the way home.

The other day I finished out the airbox lid, cleaned it up and added a little touch to it.

Also installed new LED clearance lights and solar on the camper this past weekend.

Pulled the 88 out to shuffle some things around, figured this was a good opportunity to put them next to eachother. It's amazing they are 10 years apart. Love these trucks.

That airbox makes my pants a little tighter...hell this whole truck makes my pants tighter :uhoh2:

I am absolutely in love with this truck too, I'd kill to have a BB 400; as I'm sure everyone else who doesn't have one wants one too :gr_grin:

Never ceases to amaze me. Good work Dave

Looks nice. Your attention to detail amazes me.

Awhile ago I know it was posted but I was unable to find it. How did you wire the OHC map lights to come on with the dome light and separately?

What are you doing with the old supercharger? I just rebuilt the 7.4 in my CCSB with a stroker kit from Scat and a torque cam from Lunati. Wester's tuned my computer and while it definitely has more torque, I'm pretty disappointed in it's performance for the money I sank into it. I think a supercharger and a possibly a set of head would get me where I really want to be. If you still have the supercharger and are interested in getting rid of it, can you PM me please.

Really enjoy this thread. The truck looks killer and every mod is tasteful and continues to add to the prominence of the truck.

I love this bodystyle, and have a definite soft spot for bigblock trucks. Grew up riding in dad's 75 silverado with a 454.

You have to make them constant power and run the ground with the switch on the console, then run a wire from the switched ground on the dome light, hook it up between the switch on the map lights, you'll have to use a diode to keep it from backfeeding.

Thanks. I was considering selling the other supercharger however it doesn't have any of the bracketry or associated parts to make it work, without having a set or one as a template it's less useful. That being said, I decided to hold onto it for the time being.

great job on that box!! I would pay the $70 for the steering wheel if you come across one. Thanks.
