Progress has been slow, I was out of town the last 2 weekends helping a friend move a Duece and a half military vehicle and then camping the other weekend. I was also out of town for work during the week but I’m back at it. I still don’t have the pcm/tcm yet. I got the right input with the...

My first 5.3 had AFM and disabled to 4 cylinders. I had left the AFM lifters, but electronically disabled it with good luck. The 5.3 failure I had had nothing to do with AFM

:oops::oops::oops: Craig can tell the future

I’m so sorry to hear that. I have heard of these issues with the later model AFM unfortunately. I reached out to one of my mechanic friends and he said he’s seen many in 10-15k mile range.

I misspoke, I went to edit the post but can’t. Zero gravity came up with the idea. PHR manufactured it.

I found a slick new unit. It comes from zero gravity performance but PHR came up with it. Props to them, it’s genius. Instead of having to wire in relays and crap to make the reverse lights work it’s a new shaft that accepts the transmission range switch on the 4l60e. It’s in the mail now. I...

@alrock i can’t find my new motor thread either, was it lost in the change over?

Nice, good to see you checking back in!

I’ve done it. search my thread “new motor”

Did you get tap shift finished? How about the PRNDL setup? Do the lights not light up on the gear indicator?

Damn!

Got the trans and t case out last weekend. Sent this picture to my parents and said don’t you miss these days? Lol This weekend I probably won’t get much done, going to a concert and it’s my dads birthday but after 3 weeks of crazy travel I’ll have some time at home to work on this during...

That’s badass. Does the tach/speedo and all that still work? Does it have 1 or 2 OBDII ports?

You did the swap yourself? Very cool! Did you snag the 4r100 or zf6 with it? How about the t case?

Interesting, I wonder what prompted them to do a 7.3 and not a 5.9 cummins or LBZ Duramax. They are usually much easier to retrofit

Glad to see you had a positive experience with this! It’s so difficult to sift through the internet on what works and what doesn’t so I try use products that I hear work from people I know and not some potential internet troll. I’ll have to give it a try next oil change.

Thanks! That makes me feel better about the core support, I’m not as nervous about the top as I am the bottom but I’m sure it will be fine. I’ll talk to the guy doing the tuning on my trans. He has me sending both the PCM and TCM and he did my v8 engine harness, I’ll see if he can do an idle...

Worked on the hummer more this weekend. The radiator is in! I had to do more trimming, and more trimming and more trimming. Getting this big radiator in was a PITA but it’s basically done. All that I have left is the top mount. I’m going to take some 1x1 square tubing weld it to the core...

Usually the issue is on the abs side of things, not the typical bleed. When the SAS was done I’m curious if the brake lines were left on the calipers or not. If the abs pump is drained it will trap air in there. The best way to bleed the abs pump is to use a tech 2 or the redneck way. Find a...

Another thing to check is brakes. If there’s some air in the lines it can freak out the booster and trigger some stabiltrac warnings.
