i picked up the donor truck from 3wm sunday so i will be starting to tear into it this weekend hopefully. 

[THK Matt]

BADASS! take a pic of it next to the red beast man before you devour into it.... crawl up onto it haha

[baconator]

OH BOY! haha.... bacon is already slicing into the thing...
and do you even have a tach factory wired in?

wheres the pics of the two truck side by side

[baconator]

hold on to your shorts matt.  im getting there.  i didnt have the tach wire in my harness so i added it.  but the tach dont work at all.  im getting signal to the cluster.  im kinda thinking the tach is bad.

im pulling the donor into the shop in the morning to start pulling guts.  leaving early friday to go camping then back to work sunday night or monday.  pictures will be slow because i dont really have anyone to take pics.  but i will try stoping to take some along the way.

[THK Matt]

that tach worked when i had the truck running. it shouldnt be bad at all.

[baconator]

strange... im getting signal to the wire that the FSM says is the tach wire but the tach isnt working.  oh well.  i will get my cheapo tach put back and figure it out later.

[THK Matt]

thats a bummer.
hows the disassembly of the POS?

[baconator]

the POS is on hold.  i have some stuff out but im not done yet.  i lost oil pressure on my way home tuesday night and now it dont sound happy to run.  im getting parts to put my 350 in it.  i need my DD back

[THK Matt]

yeah very true.
man do what u gotta do.
soon as i can. ill come up and give ya hand on what i can.

[unclejpl4x4]

  bacon

[baconator]

finally got the broken truck in the shop.  oh wait... you dont know what happened.  i was on my way home and lost oil pressure and toasted my motor.  anyway im swapping in the donor i got from matt and hoping it works.  while its in there i want to put in all my other many parts.  sadly im cleaning my yard today so no work will be done.  but i did get the radiator out last night.  updates to come someday.

[THK Matt]

good luck ross.
hope it works out.
and remember its a 22RE
make it EFI if youd like. and it has a 90 or 91 intake manifold.
upgraded style compared the first EFI's

anyways keep us posted.
im having troubles with the grey truck.
damn brakes, clutch and slapping rockers.

[baconator]

hahahaha i got my front diff, shafts and hubs put in.  i also have the 22r put in but still need to finish putting all the little goodies back on.  its coming along but i dont have pictures because my camera ran away on new years.  i'll let you all know what happens next.

[unclejpl4x4]

i got the p/s pump, alternator, intake manifold and header put in.  still need to install the fuel pump and distributer, hook up electrical, vacuum and other lines then should be about done.  oh yeah... all the air compressor stuff too.  but i need it running first.

[THK Matt]
