Yes super seal on the computer and dash.

Spent a few days installing some Christmas gifts. It was nice that nothing leaked when I pressurized it. I had to church it up with a -6AN whip line from the compressor to the wall.

Jeremy, I had the electrician run my compressor on a separate circuit. I assume you did the same.

[nocooler]

Yeah I’m good on the electrical - some pages back should be some pictures of the box.

Jeremy what's the length of the recoil air line. Getting tired of dragging my compressor out in the driveway for some jobs. Brand name? How do you like it?

[nocooler]

It’s 50ft - it’s flexzilla brand, haven’t had a chance to use it yet.

With my growing collection of Milwaukee gear the compressor is pretty much used for blowing up tires and running the cut off/die grinder.

I've spent more time on this harness than I care to admit. I think I have it the way I want it after the 4th revision.
Basically, this harness plugs into the power tap connector on the Holley harness. It's got ignition 12v, chassis ground, sensor 5v, and sensor ground. I made a pass-through connector for the main power tap, so I can plugin with another metripack connector if I need to add any more sensors in the future. This harness is for the dome pressure sensor in the wastegate, and flex fuel sensor. 4 wires go into the car, Flex signal, Dome pressure, ignition 12v, and the chassis ground.

Fuck. You lost me at the the third sentence.

I helped my dad work on his 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 today. Replaced the drivers side mirror, new plugs/wires, swapped the maf and threw a 10 minute tune on it. 
The truck has around 165k on it and the plugs had never been changed. 5 out of the 8 were finger tight and the other 3 weren’t much tighter. They were the correct oe plugs and the way they looked I’d say they were original. Needless to say his truck runs a tad better now.

I bet it does!

Jeremy I had a 2004 4 door 2500 with the 6.6 box and the 6 litre. Man that thing cruised like a Cadillac and had all the creature comforts. I miss it. That's a long time to have those plugs in. When I dealt mine in on the lifted truck it had 330,000 kilometres on it. Body was mint and and the engine ran like a top. Body was Rust Checked yearly. The shit works. Not sure if you have those there.

Brad his is starting to get rough, in a couple of years it'll be a rust bucket. But it wasn't the cleanest truck when he bought it. 
His runs are fine, and now that he finally fixed the front end it drives decent. He drove 40 miles a day for 10 years with the front end so worn out it was more like driving a wore out farm tractor. The passenger side only has one exhaust bolt broken off, the driver side has 5 out the six broken lol.

Harness looks fine to me . If it was a street car I'd prefer a closed sheath or tighter weave, I don't subscribe to ALL the HP Academy hype, DR-25 is way too expensive and I don't need my cables perfectly round
