No change in knock detection that I've noticed. The biggest thing is the huge improvement in drivetrain stability, no doubt due to the old destroyed engine mounts. Honestly, I would've liked to replace the mounts with stock replacements but they're just not available for 4x4 applications. I'm...- Awest623

TPS percentage wobbling
It's fine. You can reset the zero point if you want it to be steady. There's a few threads about how to do it- Awest623

Probably down if anything. Those old mounts were basically metal on metal- Awest623

Got the new motor mounts in today. Haven't taken it for a test drive yet but I imagine it'll be pretty nice. Not a bad job. Dropped the fwd differential and jacked each side of the engine one at a time. I took a bit of time and scraped off some of the 25 years of grime that's built up under the...- Awest623

Gotcha, thanks. I'd need to do a couple things before I consider going with the hydro boost. First I need to replace my motor mounts, got some aftermarket ones from off-road designs. My originals are shot. Was looking at them today and the passenger side is in at least 3 pieces. Looks like a...- Awest623

No. Still vacuum. Heard the hydro boost won't work with a Whipple.- Awest623

Been a while, so here's another update. I rear ended another car. Busted my bumper, grill, brush guard, and hood. Honestly probably would've only dented the bumper if it wasn't for the brush guard bending back and crushing the other stuff. I wanted to get a cowl hood and replace the grill...- Awest623

The short throw shifter is great. With the stock shifter 5th gear was a pain in the ass, much better now- Awest623

Well, I'm back to it! Short throw shifter installed. Suckered up for some new valve covers, no more double-stacked gaskets. Warrantied injectors are in. She's back running again, better than ever! I did have to get creative with the taller valve covers. Knocked some metal off the AC bracket to...- Awest623

To my knowledge, it's a gen 3 P59 issue. Gen 4 & 5 have the tables available in hp tuners. I don't know about EFI live, never used it. I don't remember the exact table names that I disabled. Basically anything that mentioned "post cat" or "post o2". Pretty sure it was the right ones but not...- Awest623

I also ordered a short throw shifter from Core Shifters and a knob from Speed Dawg Shift Knobs. I'm away on a business trip rn, but they're waiting for me back home. 5th gear is quite a reach with the stock shifter, looking forward to a tighter shift pattern. I also got myself set up to tune...- Awest623

Rebuilt myself. I have 2 of these superchargers. I took the good bits from both and transferred them to make a single good unit. Turned one of the cases into a makeshift jig to get everything aligned. The one I had on my truck kept getting louder by the day. I did spin it with a drill...- Awest623

Decided I'd take the down time and work on a couple other things while the truck is in the garage. I wired up my clutch out switch for cruise control and CTFO. I also cleaned up a little more wiring. I lengthened my clutch pushrod (wasn't getting the travel I wanted and dragged a little while...- Awest623

Any other 16 17 18 year old members out there.
I used to be when I bought my truck and joined this forum. A word of advice: If your truck ain't clapped out, don't sell it. I've seen a lot of people regret their decision. Also, don't clap it out if it ain't clapped out already. Everyone likes to beat on a car, do it to a shitbox. Never trash...- Awest623
