Yup I'm aware. I have the "bad" module because I'm building an electric 76 911 Targa for a customer. The guy he bought the batteries from gave it to us to use for mockup. We're running Zero EV controllers and other hardware along with an Orion BMS to look after the batteries. Most of the fab...

In regards to the odd fuel sender specs, you can get a converter so that any fuel level sender will work with your gauge.

I’m a big fan of building what you want. Of course what you want might be more difficult to build than something else but something else isn’t what you want.

Very cool truck!

Ok nice. Looks good.

Good to hear. I am probably going with a tan color. Any pics of yours?

I think it knows. I do feel bad about it. I often imagine vehicles having feelings. I hope it doesn’t hold a grudge or anything. I’ll try to get a weight somehow.

Just picked up a replacement cab today. Mine was wrecked previously and it doesn’t line up correctly up front or at the latches. I’ll be completely stripping this one and coating the inside with Hytech insulating coating and painting the outside with monstaliner.

Yeah it’s because they’re Facebook links. I guess their links go dead after a while. If you click on the link in my signature, all the pics are in the album on my shop page. . Thanks!

Making headway with the insulation. Almost ready to go outside. I will be building a subframe for it soon and once I seal the roof, it will get mounted to the truck and clear out some valuable shop space for customer cars. Once it's mounted I will work on finishing the rest of the interior...

Are parts available? Sounds like the rebuild route might make sense.

Wow. How did that happen? Worst case scenario a competent welder/ machinist could fix that case.

No problem.

That piece doesn't come out. You have to take the turbo off, grind the weld off of the arm and slide the wastegate out from the inside or the opposite and cut the gate off of the shaft to replace that bushing. Based on your picture, that is a tiny and normal leak. I would leave it alone and...

Not uncommon on turbos in general. There is no seal there, just a bushing that the wastegate pivot rides in. That one doesn’t look too bad IMO. If you unhook the actuator rod you can get an idea of how worn the bushing is.

That’s me! Coffey Fabrication. Come see me.

except there are many of these builds out there having zero issues with stock frames.

I’d say no. A stiffer/ stronger frame wouldn’t be necessary unless you’re planning on carrying more weight than originally intended. Seems to me that most of these trucks, built as campers, are lighter than the max weight that they were originally designed for.

Exactly. Why complicate it and add more expense when you don’t need to? Mechanical simplicity? No. Again though, unnecessary. If it was necessary, gm would sell them like that or they would be a common aftermarket option. This could easily be from an unrelated difference between the two...

None of those apply here though. I’m not trying to say nothing is better than a 2v pushrod engine. To the OP’s point, complicating a simple engine like an LS or other pushrod 2v engines, takes away part of what makes them great. Maybe you’ll gain a little here or there but at a cost and you...
