Greg, thanks for putting up the pics, the pics of the wheels don't show the white technidip very well it looks really odd on the truck, I think the grey I got will look better.

Thanks for the link, (I see we're dropping hints. ) I'll probably have to build the hitch to fit the roll pan, I have found some for the Blazer, don't like, will probably modify one for a pu.

Everybody, thanks for the continued interest, it's been a struggle, I admit some has been of my own making, this truck has taught me some interesting lessons. The big one being that, because I have something and it can be made to work, is not enough to justify it's use.

Best example is my choice of engine, in spite of my rationalization of using the 350 tbi in my posetion I've spent enough money to have put a 6.0 ls in it and been money ahead. (eek)

Oh yeah, thanks everybody, this thread has passed 15,000 views.

I still post, just not as frequently. Ridiculously busy at work, put in 54 hours this week M-F. Design Release Engineer II, Routing and Circuitry on 12V Wiring Harness, for the Tesla Model S for just over a year now.

I pulled this post up to show the change in "elevation".

I see a light at the end of the tunnel, and for once it's not a frackin' train... Joe

Update, the tuner came over yesterday to try a modified version of the custom chip, didn't work very well. then we tried a stock 5.7 tbi chip, and got much better results than either of us expected, under light load conditions it runs great, we beleve the fpr being set at 18lbs (stock is 11-13) is providing enough fuel for light load, we think that when the load goes up, (heavy throttle) the pe tables will need to be richer. This at least gives us a good baseline to start from.

Good day for the "Hauler" got the paperwork sorted (thanks Greg) passed the IM240 smog test (we've got some work to do yet, it's still on the lean side) and got plates, drove it about 50 miles today.
