Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Sparksalot]

Guy had the ball$ to want $300--the gf got him to take $250, and the brakes are spongy. I bench bled the mc and there were no bubbles, but he says he bled that too, and he had to replace the brake line that HE previously installed. I didn't talk to the guy, gf did. What a douche.

I was about to ask how that was going.

For what he charged it should stop much better then it does.

Just dropped the hooptie off to the mechanic. A different guy, he actually fixed it correctly a few years ago, plus I trust this guy. I also gave him the pcm I got from @Mudsport96 so he could clone mine--just in case if there was an issue with mine. I really hope he can get it sorted out. It was actually backfiring a few times, which he heard. He said it's running rich. Let's see what else he can find.

Don't doubt the tech choice but how did he know it was running rich? Was he hooked up to it? Saw smoke? etc......

I showed him--had my scanner hooked up reading the ST and LT fuel trims.

Heck yeah man. Hopefully it all goes well. You having the e-fans hooked up at the same time? Thought you said something about that before.

I don't think he could program the pcm for that. I should've asked tho. Fans are still sitting in my garage, 5 years later lol.

Yeah know how that goes. Still have the heads, intake, headers, and all the accessories for the 5.3 swap for my Nova.... don't have a 5.3 to put them on though. But th 350 runs fine and has less than 10,000 miled on it. That is my justification for slacking lol.

Love those Novas, especially those old shoebox Novas. Got a pic?

mines a 76. "Disco Nova". As the nova guys call them. 36ish thousand miles when i got it in 2014. Probably should make a thread on it sometime. Originally a 6 cylinder car and i have the 6 cylinder and original transmission in storage. The original rearend died a grisly death with the v8 swap.
