You are doing a great job refining your build. I am interested in what you are doing because you seem to be formally educated. I have completed builds like this but have only an automotive certificate from an accredited College. You seem to be engineer status. It is interesting to see how you overcome blockades and obstacles during the sorting process. EDIT: Keep the evap system functional. It keeps the fuel system closed so that gasoline vapors are not vented around the vehicle. This is important especially if you park it in a garage. You do not want your nice truck stinking up the garage of fuel vapors. The vapors are stored inside of the charcoal canister and are burned in the engine upon cold start. It also saves fuel, because the engine uses it during warm up.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm really glad you enjoy it! I did want to keep the evap system but it dumped fuel out of the canister. It also had that pesky air injection pump that goes bad. I replaced the damn thing 4 times! More complexity than I was looking for but I kept all the parts and can retrofit in the future if I want. And let's be honest, with a build like this I'm not too worried about MPGs 🤣
Dude I jus stumbled upon your vids last night and noticed the psu sticker on the back window and your sweatshirt was a penn state shirt... I’m also from the 814 and am building a s10 sbc swapped... I live in Zion pa . Maybe we’ll bump into each other somewhere... shit shoot me a txt and let’s get together with these trucks
His first time doing it? Yep. I noticed a strong structure support beam in the building over the front part of the bed. I would have took out all of the nuts holding the bed except the rears. Then only loosened the nuts on the rear the bed. Then I would pull the front of the bed up with a hoist or "come-along" tied to the beam and the front of the bed to access the pump. Next I would secure the bed in that position for safety and then change out the pump. No need to mess with anything else,. drop bed back down, replace bolts, and done. Right?
@@mikejohns3104 there are a few ways to do it ! Drop the tank - cut an access hole in the bed ! The 2 best ways are remove all 8 bolts remove the taillamps - drop the bumper and slide the bed back ! I prefer removing the left side bolts and loosing the right side bolts then lift the bed and put a few blocks on the frame rail !
All good ideas. Ultimately I wanted to take the bed completely off to fix the return line. I couldn't do it properly when I did the original build and taking the bed off only took about 45 min and gave me good access so a win in my book!
@@kalemullikin ! Always wanted to try an electric inline fuel pump ! in tank pumps are a pain and they can fail with no warning ! The only time my 3 s10 's died on me was losing fuel pressure !

Subscribed and I'm envious of this project! I, too, work alone without a lift. Keep up the good work and stay positive!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and support!
I live in Massachusetts….. rust showers are guaranteed!! Nice job do far!
Thank you so much!!

Nice build. Look into a blazer tank swap. It was the best mod I ever did. Doesn’t leave much room for exhaust, but the traction gain is incredible.
Impressive! Keep up the good work 👏🏻
Thank you! I appreciate it!
tank vent should be with the fill tube if im not mistaken. possibly something is up with that.
When it was stock the tank vent went through the evap system. Since I got rid of all that stuff I had to add a separate one.
@@kalemullikin you are correct idk what i was thinking about. Nice work on the truck though!!
@@131_racing thank you so much!
i wanna see some burnouts!!
Coming soon in my next video in about a week!

Yeah that would be awesome! Good luck on your build! I want to take mine to maple Grove for a few test and tunes in the spring
Why make a job 3x harder than it needs to be ?
