Bummer on the trans. I've been there and done that and it's frustrating. To say in the least. Those headlights are killer though!

I still think it's something the trans guy did. Makes me wonder what went on in that 2 1/2 weeks. He must have been having trouble. And when someone's having trouble with what they're working on, way too often they mess something else up because they're too focused on their problem to notice the other mistakes they're making. I bet he messed up a wiring harness or something.Ok, I've been forgetting to update my build thread. I had my trans go out. I only had 1St and 2nd gear only. Had a guy rebuild my trans. First he told me 2-3 days--2 1/2 weeks later I get it back. Shift kit, vette servo, Kevlar bands, etc, etc and I don't notice anything. Doesn't feel right, exhaust doesn't even sound the same to me. It feels like a stock motor to me! A gutless, noisy truck! Trans guy put the scanner on, and the tps is getting 0.0 volts. Of course he's never seen that before, and it shouldn't even be running. I'm at a loss. View attachment 84863
I replaced the pigtail to correct the reduced engine power issue. So now I need to save some $$ and bring it to someone who knows what they're doing, and it's not gonna be cheap!
@rockola1971 suggested the same thing. I checked that tax module on the firewall like he mentioned but I wasn't able to get under it to check out the bellhousing to see if I saw any harnesses pinched. I tried looking from the top but it was kind of tight to really see much. When he wiggled the pigtail around with the scanner on, the volts numbers started registering. Unfortunately I don't have a scanner like that.I still think it's something the trans guy did. Makes me wonder what went on in that 2 1/2 weeks. He must have been having trouble.

Now if you could just fix your speeding up issue. Is it still slow?I keep forgetting to update.
I bought some cheapo ugly 22's just for the tires. 2 are almost new, they're Falkens, SCORE! I paid $100. Can't beat that. I was experiencing shaking at around 60 MPH and above with my old setup, so I decided to swap out my fronts for the chrome wheels, just to see if my shaking would get better. It's almost gone. I'd say 95% is gone. Definitely not like OEM, but so much better. I've had my old set balanced twice with no improvement. My next step is to just swap out my old tires for the Falkens and cross my fingers that it fixes my shaking permanently.

I don't think it's as fast as it used to be, or like it should be before the trans was done.Now if you could just fix your speeding up issue. Is it still slow?
Funny, I thought the same thing. If I had all the caps, I think I'd dip em and swap em.Gonna be a lot harder to make center caps for those
Glad the shaking has simmered down.
