Interested to know what you did to keep the DBW. What type of pedal mods?
Also interested to know how you kept the MM cluster. What mods to make the VSS work?

My harness and ecm were dbw, but i converted my harness and tune to be dbc. I retained the marauder throttle cable and marauder pedal.


My jeep has a lq9 (6.0L) with dbw. I just modified the pedal itself off the bracket to fit the floor of the jeep. Pretty simple.


I had reached out 96gt4.6 here on mm. Net on the cluster stuff.
bought Dakota digitial converter boxes for the tach and speedo. Tach was easy to setup, but the speedo ive been struggling with. I got it pretty close so far just needs some refining.

Using the marauder ect sensor and factory wiring bypasses the ecm to the cluster.

Don’t sweat the smalls. I’ve been talking about finishing my underhood for three years now! And to think it’s only converting all the vacuum lines to AN and new battery cables and terminals... all my GAFs seemed to have disappeared! [emoji1303]

Suspected for awhile I had a fuel bleed down issue. At cold start up it Crank for a extended time before firing and when it did I'd have some smoke from the exhaust. Pulled the rail this morning and primed the syst and found a couple injectors dripping. I suspect I have some debris holding the pintle open. I honestly can't recall how thoroughly I cleaned the lines etc after I installed them, or how clean the rail itself was. Guess I'll add cleaning and flow testing to the injectors this winter.
 
Little marauder rust repair on the docket today. My car is out of Texas and is spotless (rust of any kind) everywhere expect this spot in the trunk pan. At some point in its life somebody messed with the trunk lid. When I bought it, it was so poorly adjusted, it didn't seal. I went through a car wash and my amp got soaked. So standing water = rust :(.

Picked up a new intake. 2006 6.0 trailblazer ss. Has really strong flow #s and cheap. My car has a bastard intake on it now. It's a 4 bolt throttle body, but is the old truck style. I think they only put them on the 05 5.3 trailblazer platforms. Should be a nice little improvement.

$150 spare race car engine, sure why not. I now have two spare 5.3s in case they go boom. Less then $500 into both of them. :banana2:
