    LSX Fuel Pump not Priming

    Well, ended up being pretty simple, after metering and not getting a 12V signal at the firewall, I was a bit relived when I put 12V to the fuel pump wire, I was not looking forward to dropping the tank. I worked my way back and found the ground terminal inside the relay connector was pushed...

    LSX Fuel Pump not Priming

    05 5.3 in an 89 C1500, returnless fuel rail with corvette regulator. I did the swap two years ago and used the newer 98 AC Delco pump in the tank. About a month ago, the engine started stumbling on startup, then one day it wouldn’t start and the fuel pump quit priming. I’ve checked the grounds...

    4/6 Ridetech drop kit. It still has a slight rake, Here’s a few more pictures. The tires definitely tuck more in the rear then the front, that might be the reason it may look like it’s higher in the front.

    Thanks, the truck has 114k miles, here’s a pic of the stock interior with the buckets seats, I installed a stock bench seat last year so the kid can ride along.

    Thanks! This is my second Sport, I always regretted getting rid of the first one, so when I ran across this one, I couldn’t pass it up.

    New tie rods and idler arm, now I need to get HD brake parts so I can get this wrapped up.

    89Sport

    Yeah, that makes sense and I should just get it done now. I’ll be notching the cross member once I get a few people to stand the bed up on the bulkhead. I found a bad idler arm on the front, all the tie rods are pretty crusty, I’m considering replacing both sets of tie rods with the idler arm...

    Do I need that, the lower shock mount is already extended?

    Before & After

    Good work, the stance is perfect! Why did you install new upper and lower control arms? I’m getting ready to order the RideTech kit and I need to decide if I just suck it up and address the brakes now or go with a big brake kit and rear disc conversion later.. for ~$230 the HD brake upgrade may...

    89 Chevy Sport, I did the LS Swap in the Spring, I just wanted to drive it all Summer so I wasn’t willing to tear into anything. It’s Winter in Ohio, so it’s put away for the year, getting ready for a RideTech 4/6 drop and even though I love the SS wheels, I’m thinking about switching to 20”...

    C100 connector disassembly?

    I have an 89, seems like the connector should come apart, mine seemed all gummed up so I didn't bother messing with it any further. I'm just about marry the truck harness to the engine harness in the next few days, I'm planning on running some additional wires (Tach, Tow/Haul SW) through the...

    Swap or Build?

    Fuel System done, Motor & Trans in, Trans Cooler Lines done, & Accessories installed. Sent the PCM for programming and I'm just cleaning up the harness now. The harness is time consuming, but it's really not that bad.

    Swap Wiring GBCM

    Has anyone kept or deleted the Generator Battery Control Module (GBCM) from a swap harness? I'm swapping an 05 Tahoe 5.3 in an 89 C1500. I done with the pin-outs from LT1Swap.com and he has notes to delete the GCBM, but I've also read deleting it puts additional wear and tear on the Alternator...

    Swap or Build?

    Knee deep in this swap, the motor and trans were pulled out last week, working on cleaning the engine bay and trying to figure out the wiring. So far I'm going through the existing harness to identify what needs to stay with the truck and what from the LS ties into the existing wiring. I'll get...

    Swap or Build?

    So I'm picking up a 5.3 w/ a 2wd 4L60e today. I guess now I need to make a parts list so I can get the fuel system, swap mounts, cam setup and AC mount since my current AC compressor is new. Also the 4L60e and 700r4 are similar, I don't think I need to modify anything, but I have seen...

    Swap or Build?

    Yeah, that makes sense, then I don't need to worry about the TV cable setup in the LS. I've been leaning towards both engine and trans if I do the swap. Will a 4l60e out of a 4wd truck matter or do I need to find one from a 2wd truck?

    Swap or Build?

    All original 89 Sport, desperately needs more power! I want to get started by mid-Feb so the truck can be ready for Spring. LSX is quick power, good MPG, but requires a lot more modifications to this original truck. SBC build keep the original motor with less overall mods, but will the TBI...

    Newer models seats that fit 1994 OBS W/T

    I'm looking to make my 89 C1500 SCSB into a 3-seater too. I was thinking about using a 99 and up Chevy/GMC center "jump seat" or console since I already have buckets. I haven't been able to find a decent bench seat in grey and I'd rather not store my buckets and console until my son grows up and...
