    Thank you for that write-up, it gives some perspective on what I'm considering doing.

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Yes, and for now the option with that all in one ALDL-reader, chip reader/burner, which also includes a memory emulator sounds like the best way to go, however bit pricey & currently out of stock. Especially the emulator function is tempting, you can fine tune the engine as you drive. That is...

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    I want to learn that thing myself, play with engine tuning, I want to learn it one way or another :)

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Wow, I was seriously considering that Flash 2 ECU, with a major drawback of having to ship an ECU for conversion. Sad to hear that. But you got me reading on the ALDLdroid, that's one more interesting option to consider. Speaking of my goals: I just want to try to tinker with engine management...

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Let's restart this thread :) I've learned that in GMT400 TBI it is possible to convert from PROM memory to EEPROM using some adapter and you can even datalog via the ALDL port using TumerPro, as found in this thread: https://www.gmt400.com/threads/tbi-ecm-tuning-options-chip-burn-etc.67377/...

    OE Wheel size?

    Bumping. What is the stock wheel ET for 1990 V1500? I currently have 16x10 ET-44 with 285/75R16 tires and they stick out up front, rub on fenders and make handling under braking sketchy. Would 16x8 ET-10 or ET0 with same tires work?

    Unlock barn doors from inside

    I have just installed a pull string to open barn doors from inside. It's just a string that I've attached to the rod that goes to the bottom latch. I made a hole in the plastic plug next to the window and finished the string with a loop and some bead to prevent it from falling inside the door. I...

    Modified engine crewcab gas mileage?

    I'd love to see these curves for our engines, so far my engine knowledge seems to be proven not applicable to old American V8's. Usually low RPM and almost lugging the engine is what's best for MPG as both the friction and pumping losses are minimized, but not with small and big blocks. Answer...

    Issues with seatbelts

    I'm revisiting my seatbelt topic as since the winter has finished I started to drive my Burb more. Since my last post I've made my right rear seatbelt work ok-ish, see the thread for details: https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/seatbelt-construction-repair-with-pictures.44040/ For the front...

    V1500 suspension question

    That's a one, big lift block you have in the rear. My rear springs look slightly different, I don't have that plastic around the bracket keeping the leafs together. I can't tell from the picture, but to you have a tiny lift block also in the front axle?

    Pumping Air to a Catalyst

    In an S2000 I had some time ago an electric pump run for a minute after a cold start on a timer and it shut off during acceleration. I guess you could make it vacuum controlled. That's a good idea, both moving to a small metal sports cat converter closer to the headers and wrapping the exhaust...

    Suburban Rear Cargo leaks

    Resurrecting the old thread as after a car wash I found a small pond splashing around in a spare tire well. Are there any known working DIY fixes instead of replacing the whole gasket?
