thanks man, with the ecu, i used part of the air box i got for my cold air intake to make the mount for the ecu, i was trying my best to use stuff i already had to keep this in budget and quality...it came out really good...for the fuse block i just mounted to the fender as you can see, the dude that did my harness made it easy for me to do so...im almost done tho man..feels pretty good

dman1982 · 05-04-2014, 11:10 PM

ivorton74 · 05-05-2014, 10:53 PM

hey did u remember to get those pix? if not its kool

dman1982 · 05-05-2014, 10:56 PM

ivorton74 · 05-05-2014, 10:58 PM

lol ok no problem man...I feel u..

dman1982 · 05-05-2014, 11:17 PM

Ya man, stuff got crazy...almost had to quit (which I may do that anyways), only so much you can take for so little pay

dman1982 · 05-05-2014, 11:27 PM

Here's one I found, not all the way in there but better than the ones I took last night, still hard to see since everything is black...I can get in there better tomorrow tho

ivorton74 · 05-05-2014, 11:43 PM

that looks pretty good actually...u said u used one of the cai airbox plates to mount the pcm...how did u get the pcm to stay on there? I don't see anything holding it onto the plate.

dman1982 · 05-05-2014, 11:46 PM

I got a big zip tie holding it down...not sure if it's in that pic or not, but it's hard to see either way, and it's good and tight in there...and it's part of the cai box

ivorton74 · 05-06-2014, 12:00 AM

oh yeah I think I see a white zip tie...kool man...btw any luck with the driveshaft yet?

dman1982 · 05-06-2014, 12:03 AM

Oh ya works good...going to change the rear ujoint tomorrow the original one is pretty tight, but it is a noticeable difference, wish I'd of done it years ago

dman1982 · 05-06-2014, 12:07 AM

It's a few lbs lighter...I wish I'd of weighed them I think I would guess about five lbs or so

ivorton74 · 05-06-2014, 12:13 AM

oh ok I still have to get one made for my truck...I hope it don't cost too much since im on a tight budget.

dman1982 · 05-06-2014, 12:16 AM

Ya man, I got the dude down to 130, 30 more than I wanted to pay but I'm happy with it
