    LS Swap Fuel Pump

    I think, I am pretty sure the mid-late90's vortec 350 truck motors required the same PSI of fuel pressure the LS motors need, and I am sure that I have read on this forum somewhere tjat those hangers are a direct replacement, but do your homework. my 1985 fuel gauge is 30-90 ohms, 30 at empty...

    LS Swap Fuel Pump

    yes you will not have to remove the tank, that pump will bolt to the frame, eariler on in this thread other users listed part #'s for replacement hangers with pumps that will provide 58ish PSI for an LS motor

    LS Swap Fuel Pump

    okay, than the return from the rail needs to tie into the return line on your truck. I cannot find the exact pump I used but here is a link to an external mount walborro https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=675/category_id=61/mode=prod/prd675.htm

    LS Swap Fuel Pump

    it should be easier, depending on if your motor has a return from the fuel rail, some LS motors have a return at the fuel rail, some dont. most carburated trucks should have a return line from the fuel pump

    LS Swap Fuel Pump

    in the future I want to hang pumps into the tanks, i really like that idea, than if one fails there is a back-up. and also if I end up with a supercharger it would be nice to have a dedicated E85 tank

    LS Swap Fuel Pump

    it does it pull fuel from the distrubition valve where the tanks tie in at, I used a corvette fuel filter with built in regulator and return line to feed the return back in the valve as well

    Which brakes are right

    was there any "heavy half ton" options for suburbans?? my guess is it was a heavy halfer and the rear diff broke and got swapped with an 8 lug

    Making my 1990 Suburban bullet proof. What do I need to do?

    make sure proper maintence is done with high quality parts, no cheap belts,hoses and tires, making something bullet proof is a never ending chase. if your just poking around driving slowly these rigs are pretty darn stout to begin with, but if your are mad max everywhere and trying to catch air...

    Which brakes are right

    I would dissamble and bring pads and shoes in with me, parts store people these days will be of little use other than what the confuser says you need. if you can have a friend give you a ride to tje parts store with your parts for comparison that would be best. honestly unless your stuff is...

    Stand Alone Harness

    there is nothing wrong with doing that, I had mine like that for 3 years, it worked great, I just wanted to clean up the engine bay a little bit so I swapped it out

    Does the Ignition Module actually control the timing?

    From my experience ign modules can affect timing a couple degrees, I do not think they are designed to but through the manufacturing process something happens and it can change initial timing a lil bit,I always check with a timing gun after changing a module, 1 time the timing had been retarded...

    Optima Batteries worth the cost?

    my 2001silverado will drain a battery in 40 days from sitting if I use the key fob to lock the doors. when I lock the doors from inside the cab it will last 60+ days and fire right up, I think the key fob activates some kind of security system and it kills the battery

    Optima Batteries worth the cost?

    those gel batteries are junk in my book, when you compare the amp hours on them to a regular battery there is no comparision. higher cranking amp batteries do not last as long, they have thinner plates in them to allow more plates to be stacked and tend to warp easier and begin loosing power...

    Stand Alone Harness

    I ended up getting a mounting bracket from PSI and mounted the computer to the inner fender on driver side. my setup is a lil different from yours, I am running a 4L60 so the painless harness worked great for me. if I had more free time I would love to learn how to re work the factory...

    LS Swap Fuel Pump

    I have wondered what I would take to hang pumps into both tanks and use the switch to turn up whatever tank you wanted, but what about switching the return? anyone have dual tanks with dual pumps? that is my goal this summer to get a pump in both tanks and get it working

    Stand Alone Harness

    as long as your motor is the same gen 3 LS motor with DBC, I would ask for the O2 sensors if they have them. just in case they are different can save you a few bucks depending on injectors, not sure if flex fuel stuff was a thing in 2001, but the injector plugs can vary maybe take a look at...

    Stand Alone Harness

    alot of the replacement parts are chinese, I always try to source american made products before buying chinese sweat shop stuff, whos to say that a painless harness is 100% american made wires, connectors, anyways, what is nice though is being able to call a phone number and speak with somone...

    Stand Alone Harness

    The painless harness comes with a nice instruction manual and schematic, a few things had to change like the PNP switch, 02 sensors, but it was honestly a piece of cake to install, all wires were labeled nicely and plugged right in. might just be me but I think the motor idles smoother now with...
