    Finall after how many years??? l addressed the constant running fan. It dawned on me a few days ago the trans temp sensor might be the culprit. Sure enough trans connector pin 15 (trans temp 5V input) was obviously feeding back zero through pin 16 (signal return) to the PCM considering I don’t have a temp sensor. Well this was triggering the fan thinking the trans was running hot.

    I first tried to just connect the two but the signal would go from 4.6 to 0 immediately and trigger the fan. Apparently the PCM doesn’t care for having its own signal being thrown back in its face. I’m not sure what the threshold is but lower the number equals the hotter the temps. Not having any resistors on hand I opted for a 3mm pre wired LED to bridge the two and it worked! That brought me right at 3.0 Now I’ve got a tiny blue LED glowing under the master cylinder and quiet car again. At least until I get around to ordering a 10K resistor. Hopefully within a couple of years?

    Marauder oil & filter changed and last fuel pressure gauge hook up completed (had to order parts) - it works!

    Next weekend trans temp gauge hook up and gauge A-pillar pod lights. Maybe if time the oil pressure and volt real gauge conversion too. If I really start ambition dreaming for next weekend, new stereo install too!

    Took a small test drive down the driveway then backed her back into the garage. New diff works.

    A lot of smoke however. Neighbor said it might be my tires.

    Had the 4:10 gears installed with 2003/2004 Cobra clutch packs and Aluminum Diff cover, got notice exhaust has been shipped so when that comes it will be installed. Even with the 4:10's car needs a converter, from a stop takes a second to get into power band

    Also forgot to mention got rid of them piece of crap capped lug nuts, every car I get seems to have them and I need to replace to solid, my 99 XJ Cherokee, My 2003 Lincoln LS when I had it both had them too.

    Oil and filter changed, inspection, filled tank and a run thru car wash to remove winter grime (the road dust flows through the garage so there's a 1/4" of dust on the cars that get parked all winter) so Impala is all set for summer cruisin'!

    Previously owned a 2004 DTR and a 2003 DBP…and 76 other vehicles but we don’t have time to list all that.

    Gave the truck its second bath of the year and it’s first coat of wax in probably four years. Dusted off the car.

    Moved my house to work today. Haven't tried anything heavy yet but so far the F1Shifty seems to handle towing okay. Gotta love the built in brake controller, should be standard on all pickups.
