    pulled the trigger... LQ4/4L80 swap (6.0 vortec)

    I didn't read the whole write up as it's tough on my phone. If I get an entire doner truck, is everything pretty much there for a complete drivetrain swap? ---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ---------- Thinking an 01-04 6.0 4l80 or 5.3 4l65 truck...

    Change of plans, no matter which way I try I keep coming up with $10-12k for motor, trans, harness, mounts, and cooling stuff.. On a truck I'll probably get $4k for if someone were to hit me, as bad ass as it'd be I don't think it'll be too practical. So now I'm thinking ls1 or ls2 and t56...

    From my code reader? I was reading stuff on there browsing around, it said timing advance and was fluctuating between 17 and 25 at idle.. Mean anything? If not, can you be more specific on how to obtain?

    It was fine for almost 1k miles. Was just driving across the interstate going about 75mph. As always. And it just started to have a sudden loss of power.. Pulled over and I heard the noises. Thought it was my fuel pump and a lean ping at first. Brought it back to nj at my pops and...

    K. Everything hooked up as it should be (I hope), all fluids in, just tried to hit it. Tried to cycle the fuel pump, it's not cycling until the key is turned off? Usual cycles when the key is turned to the on position. Why would it be backwards? Also something wrong with the starter...
