Is that a Monster Fan setup in there? If so, I had them on my Suburban and liked them A LOT. Worked great, no doubt about it. The only issue I had with them is I had to replace the ground wire after a period of time because it was running too much amperage for the one which was provided. I went back and doubled it which fixed it up. Great looking truck and setup. Lots of great work there

they are flexalite 280 fan setup they will be controlled by the ecm . i used 1 single 10 gage ground wire for both ill upgrade it if any problems from it.
im just waiting on a pw steering fitting to fire it up , summit said prob thurs or friday

i have a question for all of those using schoenfeld headers in their obs. what clamps are ya using to connect the headers with the exhaust ? i dont want to weld to the headers , i bougth some stepped clamps from a local part store but the o2 bung is to far back on the collector. the u bolt clamps will be as bad as weldinng so no option on those .will the single 1'' band clamps work , what are you guys using. this is my last thing to do after i get my pw steering fitting, so hope i can figure this out soon

Out of curiousity are you running AN fittings for the power steering, If so are they RUSSELL brand???

I had the same problem with my PS fittings on my swap, we went through 4 RUSSELL AN fittings on the pressure side before we finally got one that didn't leak, we also bought them at Summit Racing.

Your build is awesome, and the pulley system is absolutely gorgeous!!! I hope you put some kind of a sealer like ZOOPS on them, because they won't stay like that for long.

all of the fittings are russell , the one that was leaking was an earls fitting . i received the russell fitting today the one replacing earls. also im using npt fittings on the pw steering hoses i had some hydraulic hose crimped with some npt fittings then i used an to connect to the pws pump and reservoir. the pulleys look nice but im just not happy with them . ill try to polish them as often i can but i will be looking to sell them.
well i fired it up today it sounds really nice with open headers, im getting the exhaust put on tomorrow so i can let it idle for a while, i just hope all is good on the tune for the transmission .
im using a e67 ecm/t42 tcm LSX 376 with 4l80e the tuner used a 2008 tbss OS to run the engine with a 93octane tune and modified the tcm cal to run the 4l80e. hope its all good. this is how ill be if not .

so i got the exhaust put on , its kind of loud at idle.
also im getting some codes p0101 and p0449. do anyone know what can cause this im going to install the new emissions canister that i have , since i just used the stock one and hopefully this will take care of p0449 .
any help on p0101?
