Disconnected green wires from IP and high idle solenoid. No difference from when connected.
Took careful note of how truck behaved during drive this time. Surging was noticeable from 35-55mph, was barely noticeable above 55 or at low speed of at all.
Did notice that at gentle acceleration...
Thanks, will be trying this. Did not rebuild IP, only turned up 1/4 turn from (what I assume was) stock.
I can snag some clear tubing from home Depot today and give this a try.
Will update on green wire as I drive home from hardware store.

Well, I do love my new banks turbo kit. But now it would appear I have an air leak somewhere in my fuel delivery system.
While cruising at speeds under 55 (20-45 is most noticeable) the motor will surge in power and rpms. Most noticeable when cold, unnoticeable while accelerating. The motor...
Inside the frame. Used the banks turbo Muffler. Works well except I hard mounted it to the frame so it hums pretty good at certain rpms.

Rereading this, I made a custom manifold for a Fiero once. Just a simple "log type" header, which is all a manifold is. You could do the same and place you crossover outlet anywhere you liked, even pre-bend the outlet to give you clearance by the PS pump.
All you need is 16 or 14 gauge tube...
Gotcha. There's 4" above my axle to the bottom of crossover pipe (stock, no lift) , didn't take into account flex and your crossover steering though.
I have also seen a modified version of the 2wd crossover where it goes behind the motor, but that usually ends up being a mess.

Ok, dumb question time. What's wrong with the banks crossover kit? I ask because I just installed it and will be firing it up in the next hour...

Almost forgot, finished up my turbo exhaust and completed my interior upgrades (seat frame repair and new floormats with sound deadener).
All chromey and shooting out the side like all the cool kids do these days.
Edit: and polished my rims. They were 4 years of nasty.

2 down @ 55. Only A/C I knew about until momma got her new suburban.
I'd get a new truck but they don't come with crotch coolers any more (vent windows for the politically correct in the crowd).

Easiest way for a low coolant switch is constant "on" with the coolant completing the circuit. Coolant drops below switch, presto, break in circuit, tells your light to come on.
If that's the case, the ground is only to prevent corrosion from a small electric current going through the coolant...
Passenger side of radiator. And idea what the electrical dohicky is? I assume a temperature switch (for the idiot light). Upon closer inspection it definitely looks brazed in.

Having trouble with pics today. Oil lines are on drivers side, look stock (not hand bent anyways).
Measured is 34 7/8" best I can tell without removing the fan shroud. Would explain why my radiator cap has a homemade extension in it (when I get pics working I'll add them).
