    Fuel tank to Gauge wiring

    Having a terrible time tracking down a potential wiring issue with my gas gauge / sender. I have the manual but just can't seem to read the diagrams very well. I found the gauge in the wiring diagram and see the 3 contacts but can't figure out were it goes from there. No tach but do have Oil...

    Anybody try Poppy Patina?

    Thanks, That's odd because I watched an official Poppy Patina YouTube video and they are demonstrating this on an old Lexus with pealing clear coat???

    It's alive - Blue Print + 700R4

    Transmission is back in and working like it should. I guess whoever did Summits rebuild had a terribly off day. So far I'm very happy with the results. Still have a few small things to do but after about 300 miles its promising. The added horsepower and the addition of a 4th gear have really...

    Vinyl wrap is a lot harder than it looks on YouTube. Lol

    Wrap is cheap, knowledge is really expensive. Good luck!

    It's alive - Blue Print + 700R4

    Well had a setback the other day. Finalizing the testing we determined that the transmission just wasn't acting right. After much deliberation and zero help from Summit we yanked the transmission and sent it to a local shop for inspection. Still waiting on results, will keep y'all informed.

    It's alive - Blue Print + 700R4

    After too many months I picked up my truck last Friday for a test run. Ended up driving it for a 100 or so miles last weekend before returning it to the shop with my short list of questions and concerns. Backstory is my desire to get more than 10 mpg and wanting to take my truck, now named...

    Front Air Deflector

    Can't answer availablity question but do you know the taller version is for the 4WD versions and the shorter is for the 2WD. I bought the taller version for my 2WD and it looks a little out of place but I'm trying to see if it helps gas mileage.

    Exhaust Manifolds hot?

    At this point I'd just do what you set out to do and worry about the rest later. If it's like any of my vehicles there will always be something else to do.

    Train wreck

    You're a braver man than I. I know enough about these cars to know you can get in really deep before you know it. Granted its a 500E, that's a huge help but if it's not done right they won't have much value.

    That flywheel surface definitely looks like it needs a good surfacing. But new is good too

    Make sure and get your flywheel resurfaced if you aren't replacing.

    700R4 Information Thread

    Very interesting information, thanks! And this is coming from someone that knows nothing about automatic transmissions. Never to old to learn though. I'm getting a 700R4 installed in my truck as we speak and I've read all the horror stories on this forum about them, has me a little concerned.

    LMC bucket seats arrived.

    Looks like the console sits a bit high, in a perfect world how much lower would it be? Other than that it looks perfect.

    Looking forward to hearing about the install
