    May '24 Chat -- MayDay, a holiday or a cry for help?

    I did like his analogy of that in the video. As someone who tried it before, with nuts not bearings, and not by choice, I can say I'm all about letting AI tell me what should work best. And CNC me those pistons and heads while you're at it. I'll let ya know how ya did. [emoji57] Sent from...

    I have one, that's supposedly bricked. But I don't have any LLY connectors handy to build a bench harness. Guess I can pin out a few hots to at least see if comes alive. So yes.. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Knew I should have left that dimpled out Swain Tech coating on my ovals... Now ya got AI designing patterns and running fluid dynamic simulations, when Mythbusters had it right back in 2009 with an old Ford and some modelingclay...

    May '24 Chat -- MayDay, a holiday or a cry for help?

    I'm renting a new Camaro and driving to Indiana for a couple of days next week to perform the marriage of an old LS3 to a much younger 10L80.. Might call it an arranged marriage...[emoji28] Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    I'm pretty sure we can find one with your name on somewhere.. :) However lets make sure it's one of the full release versions with all the bugs worked out. While Prototype 1 made the LED's flash in order at high speeds, and actually ran Jason engine in the name of science, it suffered from some...

    Took a few minutes to check out this T87 firewall mount. First, we needed to chop off two legs sticking out on the back. Then I noticed that if you cut this little alignment tab, you can flip the TCM 180 inside the mount. That doubles our mounting options.. Then I headed off to the local carlot...

    We could do it as a "Build It Box" deal where each month you receive a box of parts, along with short instructional video on how to assemble your custom harness?? If you stay on schedule, you can have one built before your dealership receives your T14 backorder... I like it.:) It did take me a...

    That second pic, I was exploring those options.. However not sure how much I would trust the printed part being our mounting point.. I feel this last rendition is pretty good quality, but the previous versions, I knocked off my bench last night, and shattered a chunk outa of it. My bench ain't...

    Now for the big question, how are we going to mount all this stuff? While it can probably support without issues, I hate to hang all this cabling off my nylon 3D printed connector.. We can flip things around with the two different T87 connector options. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Okay, the price just went up by 400%. Or everyone receives a connector, bag of terminals, and a free bag lunch.. Start assembly on a full stomach... LOL. I started out by cutting all the leads exactly 16" long from a spool of white wire on the bench. Then I realized ya can't crimp a 16GA wire...

    UPS Truck delivered a couple of boxes of goodies yesterday. [emoji39] First up is our missing valve body hardware to finish my bench build with all OEM parts. Many thanks, @pl_silverado The second box is our 3rd and final for now I hope, rendition of the A50-Delete connector.. Last one was...

    Thanks much.. Crown and power tools can get pretty dangerous. Did ya see what happened to that poor T87? Sure hope that wasn't the brand new one ya sent me..Haven't seen it in a few days... Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    I've watched a couple video's on it, and issue is there is a couple other important chips under that main MPU. So heating one without the back side set falling off seems to be the issue.. But not a big deal as my main concern is just verifying the TOS pulse details and our normal CANbus data...

    That helps a bunch. All the wires in my connector harness are one color, burnt brown.. Thanks

    Yeah it's doing same for me. Runs fairly clean at startup if ya clear the code. Then after 5-10 minutes it kicks the Range Code and bunch of other gear ratio ones. Thought it was just unhappy with my wiring, We'll list that one under the Icebox Challenge. A buddy had one in his LML that if he...

    Ok got a few things sorted out from our factory 09 LMM / A50-6spd setup. First, did anyone ever notice they put two of the exact same 6 pin connectors in the valve body harness?? This range switch works much better when connected to the correct one.. Next someone will tell me those solenoids...

    Ok,, so far for this T14 is a happy camper with 4 of these bigass hot plate resistors and 4 stock solenoids. I also put some little 12v rated LED lights on em, so we can see which valve is active.. That all seems to work, I've limp stuck it in 3rd half dozen times already... I also checked the...
