how important is it to do the crank relearn? Will the truck run well enough to drive to the tuner? Or will it need to be towed?- Uncle Ben

1990 GMC Sierra Street/Strip Build.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad last year. It’s tough loosing a parent, it’s amazing how much you still rely on your dad, even if you are a full fledged adult. Wish you the best man.- Uncle Ben

Fuel pump replacement
I upgraded to the newer MPFI spider, and will be hopefully running a procharger this summer. My current pump sometimes whines while running, so I thought an upgrade would be a good idea. Also do you need to run upgraded wiring to account for the bigger pump?- Uncle Ben

Fuel pump replacement
What fuel pump would be an upgrade from stock? Higher flow for a tuned engine?- Uncle Ben

As soon as I make a few passes I’ll post up my slips. Not sure what rear end ratio is. I’m sure I’ll look into it when I need help hooking up, but as it stands now I don’t need any extra grip from a LSD. After installing the injectors the truck seemed a bit quieter. Maybe slightly improved...- Uncle Ben

Thanks for the kind words. I’ll see if I can post up a few videos this summer. I’d like to take it to the track and do a few 1/4mile passes, then install the procharger and see how much it’s improved. I also have to wire in some gauges. I got a wideband air fuel gauge, boost gauge and another...- Uncle Ben

Classic Procharger kits?
I found a used procharger kit for my truck. Currently doing supporting mods getting ready to install it. It’s a used kit so it’s missing a few pieces. Hope to get it up and running this summer.- Uncle Ben

Exhaust system choices with a 4/6 drop
I’m running a stainless magnaflow dual exit exhaust with a 4” drop in the rear. I had clearance issues around the rear axle. Paid premium for a bolt in system, but didn’t take into account being lowered. If I could do it again, I would have just got a shop to do up a custom exhaust. After...- Uncle Ben

You can see the new flow master dual exhaust setup The finished product. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like body colored bumpers, but I really do like it. When the vinyl starts to peel and not look great, I’ll get the bumpers professionally painted. But for now this looks pretty good to me.- Uncle Ben

Decided to try vinyl wrapping my bumpers. Also while the front bumper was off, I mounted my intercooler for my pro charger and trimmed the lower valance.- Uncle Ben
