Chris's Long Travel Supercharged do some of everything build

Ah yeah, the infamous M9 hardware for the TC. You probably just machined the separator plate a bit haha

 

Haha Im kinda interested to see. First i have to actually wash the truck. With the heat on in the garage i keep getting large amounts of mud dropping off it on me.

 

Well I actually fixed the truck good enough for today anyhow. I will get to much needed maintenance one of these days. Now to find a higher stall torque converter and new flex plate.

Trying to do some actually prep before the start of our dune season in a week. Did an oil change, fresh set of IK22 plugs, a 4xinovation transmission mount, and a bunch of other stuff. I have been running the stock transmission mount since switching to the auto but had one of there mounts for the manual.

 

The truck didnt survive the weekend at the dunes. It is running lean and pulling timing to the point its not drivable. Ran great friday and saturday barely ran. Time to dive down the rabbit hole. I really need to tear the truck down and fix a lot of stuff. Trying to get by till the dune season here is over.

 

Haltech time for you?

 

I think you mispelled LS swap . But i doubt it at this point. The fuel system isnt holding pressure so it shouldnt be that hard to figure out.

 

Figured out the fuel pressure problem I hope. The fuel line came apart, looked like the pump came out of the cradle and was hanging by it. Figured why i was in there fresh pump kit, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator. This time I will hose clamp the pump to cradle.

 

I did not know these existed. Thanks for the heads up. Had to pick one up.

 

It must be a newer thing because I swear they didn't make it when I swapped to the auto years back.

 

I suspect you are correct about that. I replaced the original mount with another oem one about 3 years ago and I recall looking for something like this back then.

I am curious about your experience installing the 4x mount. Anything special? Any additional vibrations? IIRC, your truck originally had an r150f. Did you custom build a trans crossmember to convert to an a340f or are you using an oem crossmember?

 

It is a common cross member so just all bolt in and went in easy. I have solid motormounts but i didnt notice any new vibrations after the switch. The only real issue i have is my temp probes for the fan and temp gauge i added to the trans pan were in the way. Clearly i caused that problem.
