it lives (well, it lived)

Got my swap buttoned up yesterday. Couple of small annoyances but it went together fairly straightforward. Only bought the wrong parts a couple times

I'm having a couple issues which maybe some of y'all more experienced fellas can shed light on.

1) killed my new driveshaft, or at least the front u-joint. using a modified 2-peice. similar to what happened to the old one, threw all the grease out when I hit about 75 on the freeway just happened in one freeway blast instead of over time. pinion angle? whats that? lol, wumpa-wumpa-wumpa

2) belt squeal from hell, which developed only after about an hour or two of driving.

3)knock sensor codes if I wing it past 4k. instantly pig rich and dog slow until I clear em. will headers and emission delete will cause that much of a change in the fueling requirements?

4) electric fan not coming on. I think I just boogered up my relay wiring. pretty sure i'm getting a pcm signal at 192* degrees


all in all it went in pretty easy. was it worth it? ask me after i sort these issues and get a tune. probably close to $4k for a stock set up. I could build 2 junkyard vortec headed 400's for that much, blow them both up and still have enough to drown my sorrows at the titty bar.
