Duramax diesel conversion... DONE... PICS.

[OrangeCrush]

Sorry guys, I didn't go to bed till almost 3am and I was at the shop at 7am to start working on the truck.

I started with pulling the old air train horn and install a new one. I got everything mounted but didn't have time to wire it up.

I fixed a few trim pieces that either came off or the two-sided tape wasn't holding.

I still have a few things to do like adjust the frt bumper. (being in the bodyshop business, that's the only thing that bugs me)

Other than that, I charged the AC and washed the truck.


I programmed the PPE tuner to only the third level (though I have 5-6'ish) which added like 160HP/240TQ and reprogrammed the tire size/gear ratio.

Even after I did, I kept getting a ABS error. Travis never did any programming on it so I waited until I got the truck back to do it myself.

As told by Travis, chances are I'd still have the light on because for some reason the ECM doesn't like to work with 4.56 gears (don't understand, don't get it)

So after several tries, I got the bright idea to set the tuner for the stock 4.10s with the stock 33" tall tire.

It worked.


I drove around all day and this is what my average was.



A little tweaking and getting familiar with everything, I'll get it set up soon enough.



By the way, it's really wierd to punch the gas rolling 15-20mph and hearing the tires start to spin.

I'll post pics tomorrow.
