The Official Vortec 454 Info thread
when the factory original pump failed in my 1997 dually, i went with an Aeromotive pump. Old style carrier, i guess, certainly not a bucket. I dropped the tank. still had about 10 gals in it, the baffles prevented me from being able to siphon all of it out. other than a PCM tune and a shift...- rpoL98

Crane Axle I took a grinder to the logo, felt it would just serve to accumulate dirt & grime, and also rounded off all the sharp edges so I wouldn't have thin spots in the paint. I bought it in 2011, I think it was $180 then. they're $265 now, Bidenflation.- rpoL98

Good quality multifunction switch.
that head-end of the steering column looks so complicated, a whole bunch of gizmos and widgets. Glad you got it figured out. Nice steering wheel, too. Just curious, were you able to get the Firebird horn button to work also? That would be the icing on the cake.- rpoL98

New fuel pump not working??
might be normal. I have a fuel pressure gauge at my fuel rail inlet. when I replaced my fuel pump, I did have to prime it about 3 times before it showed any pressure at the fuel rail. and I did change the filter, actually swapped out the whole fuel pump hanger, sending unit assembly. works...- rpoL98

Can’t find a 454SS, so I’m building my own!
so either he's just not into red velour (i can relate to that), or you raised a Tesla/Prius son. :33:- rpoL98

Egr delete- Plug egr hole on manifold?
this must be new, the PCM a friend-of-a-friend got for his 7.4L L29 from them has the EGR tuned out. a few years back. if anybody from the EPA is reading this, it's for a 100% off-road motor that has been disassembled and disposed. -

i've had that symptom happen, but it turns out I did roll the O-ring on installation. the gas flood showed up immediately as soon as I primed the fuel pump, not delayed after a few miles.- rpoL98
