Your first run.

On the very first run of my truck I realized we forgot to put the vaccum line from the tranny to the carb, well it didn\'t shift. What happened on your first run?

My first run (only made 2 since the swap) was my first time at the track. I had no clue what to do. I was so nervous, I forgot to put my seat belt on. First run was 14.18. Second was 14.03. Tranny was done after second run. On my 3rd tranny, so I havent\' made it back yet.

No, no. My 1st one was a TCI TH350. I lost 3rd gear on my second run. Well, on the way home I did. My second tranny was the stock NV 5 speed. I think it was going bad when it was behind my 4.3. I knew it was just a matter of time before that one went. I know my trucks way quicker than that. The automatic was holding gears in high rpm, so I was manually shifting it early at 5K. Revin her to 6K rpm she\'s a different bitch. I\'d expect low 13\'s, maybe high 12\'s if I hooked up all the way. This winter I plan on swappin cams, heads, intake, etc. Some 4.10\'s and finally posi too. Im estimating 430- 450 hp on the motor. Then a 150 shot via a NOS kit.

Wheeew, i thought you were breaking those $1,500 tremics.....

anyway back to the subject..

On my first run, i drove it back from the shop where the swap was done(which was 45 mins from where i live) and stoped at the gas station to fill up before heading home. When i shut it off it wouldn\'t start again, No power to anything in the truck. Had to call the guys to come fix it so i could head home. Turned out to be a wiring problem since they did all of the wiring that day an didn\'t even test drive it before sending me on my way. Well after 3 hrs of fixing wiring it started and i headed home. by then it was after dark and we had just rigged up a power source for the lights. Well 2 miles later the lights stoped working. and i Was not about to stop again an screw with more wiring for 3 more hrs ,so i said screw it and hauled ass all the way home with only tail lights....wouldn\'t recomend it to anyone either...I was so scared that i was going to either hit someone or get hit that you couldn\'t have stuck a straight pin betweem my ass cheeks...LOL
