Sweet! I need my PCM flashed to a 6L I'm running the 5.3L tune
There is a library of tunes on the hp website. Lots of stock tunes so its just a matter of downloading one for a stock 6l truck, buying the two credits, and loading it onto yours or another PCM. Vats is deleted in the process plus whatever changes that are particular to your vehicle.

I went through all 26 pages, really nice build sir. Thank you for sharing.
Did you ever think about using a manual trans?

Thank you. No, I did not. My wife can't drive a manual.

Well I have decided to sell it and build a diesel 60. Here is the FS thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj80-fzj80...5-fzj80-vortec-conversion-tx.html#post8349529
LOL, that's the usual route that most conversions end up it seems. Good luck with the sale.
I'd say that's a fair statement for the 4BT swaps because people don't realize how noisy/vibratory they are, but I have not noticed the same trend with V8 swaps.
I am keeping mine! A 4BT is the last motor I would swap into anything. WAY to much vibration for my taste.
The cost of buying a used ISB is really nuts. It would make a mean ride, but damn the ISB would cost more than the 80 to swap it in to.
plus, diesel fuel is REALLY expensive. It's $4 a gallon here vs $3.50 a gallon for 87 octane. No advantage there other than the 600+ ft/lbs of torque on tap. I have my doubts that a stock 80 series trans can handle that. I suppose a 4L80 could be used but even it would die pretty fast.

Update
It seems the cruiser runs about 8 degrees cooler with the mechanical fan.
I had a DRW throttle issue again and took it back to my mechanic. He checked all of the electrical connections in the harness and found several bad connectors. So he repaired them and put dielectric grease on all of the connectors. He also said that I should not have any more problems.

Well I started to get a P1125 but only when it was cold. I did a lot of reading and came across a thread where a GM mechanic was replacing a lot of TB because in cold weather the sensors in it would go out of tolerance. This made since because my engine got warm, no problems. So I put the old TB on there and just came back from a drive with no problems. Time will tell. There are days, like today, I do not want to sell this.
