Well some updates, found one of the coolant sensors, the one wire one i guess is for the gauge and is $86.09 at NAPA, ya, holy crap. The 2 wired one I couldnt find anywhere, so im thinking its gonna have to be ordered from a GM dealer. My diesel mechanic friend said its probably for the glow plugs, when it senses the coolant temp is up to norm, it tells the plugs they dont need to come on since the engine is already warm. Ordered the timing belt, a heater hose, the lower radiator hose and i think a few more things. I also wired up a boost gauge and an egt gauge so i have an idea whats going on when i add the intercooler, some more fuel, and possibly water/meth injection. I also tried to pull the tranny last night with no success. all the bolts out, exhaust is out of the way, cables and wires disconnected, got it out maybe 3/4 of an inch and it just wiggles, but doesnt want to just break free. Is there any tricks to getting it out that i dont know? the shift levers and driveshafts are removed in case anyone asks.
I also kind of started on the inside, new carpet is going in. I threw a battery in and turned the key and the only thing that works is lights. The wiring on these things doesnt look fun, made worse by the previous owners hack job. this is turning into more of a project than i thought, but i like a challenge.
