h0nke,

The program is called "Diagnose" and can be found at http://www.obddiagnostics.com

I know that we have been getting a lot of calls for 3RZ conversion parts (engine mounts/wiring kits/etc) but since we are moving into our new building, working on the 6-stud knuckle, something I'm not supposed to talk about, and the rear disconnect, the R&D development is tied up at the moment. They actually want me to come down and develop these kits, but I don't have the time to do it because I am still a student...

Well, we switched over to a 5spd ECU which cleaned up all of the trouble codes, then Marlin found out that the fuel pump in the wrecking yard EFI tank he was using was junk, so he replaced that, and it's been running strong ever since.

He drove it to the Round-Up, it did great, and he recently drove it all the way to Mesquite, NV (almost 500 miles) and he was able to pull all of the difficult hills in 4th gear flat-footed at 65 MPH!! Even with his 37s and the extra weight of his rig (compared to mine). So that is really amazing, I don't care who you are. His fuel mileage is at about 17 MPH on the highway, which isn't so bad. He can cruise all day at 80 MPH in 5th gear at about 3/4 throttle.  Before he could only do 70 MPH drag-limited (maximum speed) in 4th gear floored with his carburetor. It couldn't even hold 5th gear. He basically had a 4spd before this engine. His carb engine in 5th gear would actually loose speed, and you would have to downshift back to 4th and just leave it there, and yes, this is on flat ground, normal weather.

Here are some new updated pictures, enjoy! 8)

He sure looks like a proud pa pa there....
