    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    Took the wife to a flick yesterday and then worked my way across the cab trying to wrap up the internal wiring. Trying to Find a good spot for the TCU. The gas pedal bracket would allow 2 bolts. Also maybe on the backside of the dash face- going to leave it loose for now. Installed the...

    What are you using to paint wing window frames

    On past weapons I’ve used Norrels on the only way to get the finish off was hard sanding or sandblasting. This is an example of the gloss on a 33K I built and F1’ed. Pretty legit tough stuff. They make an air dry but I use the bake on. I was reading the can of appliance epoxy and it...

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    You might get lucky. The hole is right behind the blender box. I have gorilla mitts and couldn’t get the nuts on so had to pull the 2 bolts and 2 screws to drop the unit down. Fact- the VA unit is much easier to bolt into place on the second run.

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    It has 3 holes in the back. You only use 2 and drill holes along side your big hole. Then it comes with 1/4” studs that you put it in and put nuts on from the back. I had to drop my vintage air system to install it but it’s a very nice part. I plan on sealing it up after everything gets...

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    They are called ferrules. I use them in my day to day in control panels. It gives you a solid connection for the screws vs just tightening down on the wire which you can jiggle and pull out. This isn’t the exact ones I use but an Amazon prime kit that has a good start...

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    Spent a little time on this today. Going to try to wrap up the dash portion from drivers to passenger side. TCI- TCU connections to the DD setup. Speed outlut from TCI (orange) wire to the speed send terminal. Pink wire- 12v ignition- there is an extra 12v key power on an unused section of...

    What are you using to paint wing window frames

    I’m not setup to do PC but I’m setup to do cerakote and Norrels Moly resin. I’ve got a gloss Borrels black that I used on some MP5 builds that may work. Either way probably worth a shot.

    What are you using to paint wing window frames

    What kind of paint are you using to refinish your wing window frames? It almost looks like black appliance epoxy would throw the factory style shine but just curious as I’m working to rebuild a couple.

    1987 3500 HD on FB (not mine)

    I have been eying this one. It was posted on marketplace and one of the DFW squarebody for sale pages. Someone tagged it as a scam but looking through the guy's profile and IM'ing him it seems to be a real deal as I wasn't asked for a "deposit" instead given hours that I could look at it. I...

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    Back to work on this as my bulkhead came in. It is from Sharpe and is for an LS swap but we are using it for the trans wiring.

    Transfer Case Brace

    For the above post here is a view of the Tejas crossmember from the front. It looks like there is plenty of room for exhaust/shaft.

    USA1 Industries door panels

    Yeah, I could see that being an issue. I think in the dash post there is someone else that has been waiting on a check with a lot of run around for a minute.

    USA1 Industries door panels

    I’ve had these on the shelf for several months now and dug them out for a look as I never even opened the box. I ordered a set of skins from LMC but getting here they seem meh. I know there’s a lot of crapping on USA about shipping times but based off door panels it’s probably worth it. I may...

    C10 to K20 Body Swap – Driveline Issues

    This should help a little with crossmember placement. As you can see there is a good bit of swing throughout them and its not a 1 place and done ordeal. It doesnt cover manual trans setups though.

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    Was mostly busy yesterday and today but found a little time. Had to change the connector for the trans output speed. Starting to install the Vintage Air system so we can find a place to mount the trans controller.

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    A little update as I’m starting to route the wiring. I’m using the DD temp/oil senders and the wiring with them. I also went ahead and will be running the factory wiring for factory style units but capping them off near where they terminate. To get the 2 cables for these senders in we will...

    4L60E Information Thread (Includes 4L65/70/75)

    A little update on my situation for those that might be interested. Sure I could have just bought the LT based unit (single piece case) and moved on by shelving this unit but lets accept the challenge. You will need a dust cover- Chev Perf part # 19332783 (this is listed as a manual trans...

    15"x10" Truck Rallys

    There are 2 sets around me in Texas for sale on FBMP but I also had a set pop up on fleabay. They aren't cheap though.

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    I plan on using mechanical link and a factory style gear position but the TCU has an option for it. I was originally going to get the speed and tach off the DD unit for the TCI unit but flipping it around to get the speed and tach to the DD from the TCI.

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    I haven’t forgotten about this but ran into a roadblock. #1- the Trans controller I received from summit was a return I guess before I got it. Someone swapped the 4L60e harness with a harness from a 2009+ unit. Luckily I caught it based off checking the part number before installing...

    Can't figure out this harness

    Give this a gander as it may help. ITs an aftermarket harness but has some useful stuff in the drawings and they used a lot of the same factory colors. https://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/aww-510706.pdf This one might be the better fit for the 81...

    Replace Steel Dash

    NVM, stumbled across the actual LMC page, 3 different year sets. As a twist to this, on a 81+ how do you handle the VIN plate?

    Door Jamb Switch Restoration

    You can also get them from American Autowire. For $11/each I would have a hard time messing with an old one. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/AWW-500100
