Thanks Brett & Doug. And Brett, thanks for continuing to clean up my own and other shops mistakes lol. Also, thanks for letting me in on some of the top secret Fab53 skunkworks stuff. Very very cool.
Yeah I've been working on this thing. Hit a major road block in reassembly after dropping the trans and oil pan. I had to replace the power steering hose and it took FOREVER to get the parts. On the plus side I got rid of the shiny braided stainless hoses and replaced with black braided pressure and black push on return/cooler lines. XRP stuff.
Vibration issue is much much better now. There is still some vibration at 2k rpms, more than I'd like, but nothing like before. So you can't trust the brand new RAM and LS7 clutch to be balanced.
Oil pressure issue... I'm sad to report it still FUBAR. New oil ring didn't do a damn thing. bybpassed the ECU oil pressure and ran a new sending unit directly to my autometer gauge and the read the same. Its either somehow still a pickup problem or a main bearing problem I guess.
Speedometer... I can't get my damn speedo to work. I've checked the wires half a dozen times with the ohm meter, replaced the VSS, rewired it both ways (2 wire VSS), checked the voltage at the speedo signal post and confirmed with autometer that it is supposedly in spec. Anyone in socal have a spare electronic speedo I can try?
In liu of a pic to make this post interesting here is a quick vid of what the car sounds like with the 3" Magnaflow exhaust (tail pipes all the way back). I really like this system! I took the car on the freeway and zero drone! I'm now putting some breakin miles on the car & motor waiting for an appointment to have TCI massage a few things.
