ctsv=good, bugs, ash, dump trucks hauling fine sand that i had to blow around every time i came up on one were my main complaints, rides great, plenty of power, 20+mpg @85mph. glades been on fire last couple days, ash was moreso problem when i parked at my office (west boca)
yukon= is about to fire back up. fkkin MSD plug wires had 3 or 4 of them cracked on the boot so may have been idle problem. i had some extra parts n pieces when i mounted them remotely so cut down some ceramic ended ones and replaced move of them. one of them i goofd and made one a hair sort but it seemed to click in - wire is just tight, i'll make another if i need to.
i am currently putting "old" fuel regulator/tubing system setup back on. i couldnt come up with a good way to route tubing with the bigger Y-block and i had the regulator hanging right off the fuel rail. this added some additional bends to the driverside fuel rail, and it seemed to effect the injectors on that side ever so slightly at low flow/low pressure (as compared to the passenger side which was pretty straight through). you could see the fuel trim change when i turned on the large pump on that bank. i put the regulator on the driverside and longer tube from the passenger to get to it thinking it would "even out" the effective length but i think that exacerbated it, when the regulator opened it was so close to cyl 1 that pressure on it would drop.
i think i may have found crazy redneck who has some experience in cutting up handful of axles and make up a pair of longer ones, i should have enough sitting around here to make it happen.
i ordered a sway bar drop bracket for an older bronco/f150 that looked like it should work. since i laid out the 9.25ifs up front i need to drop the sway bar and turbo crossover again (more). i need to order another crossover kit from trick turbo that will also have to be lengthened further.
i need to mount power steering and hydroboost pump somewhere else again.
need to remove the A2W hoses and tank. chiller going to find its way onto the ctsv not sure if im doing a "big" build on it or not yet, guess it doesnt matter i can hook chiller up with stock everything else, if i go to larger trunk tank i just have to run the hoses back chiller and refrigerant lines wont change. ***** esspensive, but on that car id rather knock it all out at once instead of little mod at a time.
AND rear end will also still need to be rebuilt. i will probably just order another gear set it looks fine but i dont feel like having it rebuilt only to find it that is also ******. thinking ill just end up with a detroit trutrac for rear locker and hopefully not have to touch it ever again.
