    Hitting a deer.

    I hauled the truck to Red Deer yesterday to have the salvage inspection done. It passed. This morning I went to the insurance office and told them the truck was done, gave them the pictures of the truck after the repairs were done. I now just have to stop back at the registries to activate the...

    Hitting a deer.

    I painted the top of the PCM. Since the original was black. Now I can say I still have a black box. I still have to get my wiring tidied up since I had to take the tap back off to check my wires. I hope to find some 1 1/2 wire loom to go over the wires. I know where I am able to get some, it is...

    Hitting a deer.

    :cheers: I picked up the new PCM, have it flashed, had a :doh2: Hommer Simpson Moment, but I was able to change my vin Number on this PCM. Also the MIL light works.

    Hitting a deer.

    I found my problem. I was giving a tip that I followed and removed the MIL light wire from the connector grounded it out and sure enough the Service Engine Light comes on. Have to get a different PCM. At least I can flash this one.

    Hitting a deer.

    I am working on the second to the last thing I need to do before truck goes for inspection on Monday. The MIL light. Ever since I swapped the 411 PCM into my truck it never worked. I should have looked into that right away. a year and a half later I am doing that. Found I had the wrong wire...

    Hitting a deer.

    Here is the front bumper I am using. Stupid me put the grille and filler in place before the bumper, I ended up removing it again to get the bumper on. These side pieces I had to drill a small hole in the fender so I could secure them in place with a screw. I thought the antenna was...

    Hitting a deer.

    The truck is done at the body shop, I just couldn't get it home today. I have to call the towing company in the morning.

    Hitting a deer.

    I stripped off the rust from the rear bumper brackets. Then painted them. I took the new rear bumper out of its box and found out the brackets off my old bumper won't work. I was trying to save some money which isn't going to happen now, after taking the piece off my old bumper, I found none...

    Hitting a deer.

    That really sucks, when the person that caused the accident leaves. To bad you didn't have witnesses. I had a witness when my car was hit by someone making a left hand turn in front of me when I had the right away. This happened in October last year, Car was totalled. Bad luck seams to come in...

    Hitting a deer.

    I did some measuring. The lower rad support mount was a 1/4 inch farther back then the right side. That is the side that hit the deer. That is how I come up with that deduction.

    Hitting a deer.

    Seams like last fall was very bad for me. In September the engine spun a bearing. Get a new engine, just get over 1000 miles on engine, at 6 am a deer decided to turn around and run in front of the truck. This was my mistake, I called the insurance company and reported it. I got an estimate at...

    Lower Control Arms

    I managed to get a lot done today. It snowed last night so if you noticed on some of my pictures the quad with the blade is pinned in by the truck. I need to adjust the tow in, the camber a little and my ride height. then torque my suspension bolts. Then get the fenders in place. It is getting...

    Lower Control Arms

    The main reason why I had to repair my front suspension, I hit a deer, the truck was wrote off due to the cost of damages and the value of the truck. Even though I had just put in a 383, it didn't matter. We bought the truck back. The truck has to get a salvage inspection once it is...

    Lower Control Arms

    I have everything on the left side, I messed up the lower ball joint on the right side. It will be here in the morning.

    Lower Control Arms

    The left side was just as rusted up at the right side. Now that they are off I can start putting my front suspension back on and also remove the brackets off the bumper. I did buy new keys, so I got new bolts and the nut they use to hold the keys in place. :cool:

    Lower Control Arms

    These are done, waiting for them to dry now. I still need to get the torsion bars out of the keys yet. They are stuck pretty tight. All of this work started from hitting a deer. The truck was wrote off, we bought it back because of the new engine that was put in. The truck has to pass an...

    Lower Control Arms

    I took mine into the shop that is going to be doing the inspection. They said it would pass so I am putting in back on. I have all the bushings and ball joints on, just in the process of painting them

    Lower Control Arms

    I am trying to find lower control arms for a 1997 K1500. I checked with my local GM dealer they are discontinued. I checked on Rock Auto, none found just bushings, I checked with two local parts stores here nothing listed. Even with on Summit Racing, no listings for my truck year, 1999 and...

    411 ecm swap

    I just did mine, so far no codes have showed up, I even did the crank relearn. My torque converter is locking up but you just cannot feel it like I used to. You will have a different tune than I will because of the supercharger. I haven't figured out how to post a tune on these sites yet. I got...

    Installing the 0411 PCM

    Well I did get it figured out with some help. I noticed on EFI live form that there is an issue with the USB cable on the V7.5 235. I also read that you could use the V8 for flashing. Al confirmed that left me instructions to transfer my tune from the V7.5 file to the V8 files. I did then I also...

    Installing the 0411 PCM

    Update, still having issues with my laptop. Not sure where the problem is. But the USB cable works fine when you open up the scan tune 8.0 version. I updated everything on the V2 a couple days ago. Checked again today. But when you try to open either the scan or tune for the 7.5, it won't open...
