awesome thanks. The inertia switch back in place fixed the hazards, but I still cant get the FP to run. tried your method a couple of times but didnt work. fuse is good. any other thoughts?

 

Did your hazards turn off with the inertia switch back in place? Can you audibly hear the fuel pump prime when key is cycled forward (assuming no, just double checking).

edit: I didn’t read your reply right and answered my own question. Sorry, it’s early here. Lol

 

all fixed, I have fuel pressure. pump is nice and quiet
strangely, my ABS module is making noise (electrical) even when the key is off and the ABS relay is removed...

 

My gut would say to verify all things spark and crank related. Both CPS’s are in place and connections solid, check plug wires for spark. Was VATS disabled in the LS pcm?

 

Yeah I think I am all set. I need to finish the trans lines when the fittings arrive and then prime the motor with oil (fresh build) then it should start. Both ECUs are talking with no codes. I had ACE do the Rover harness and BP Auto do the LS harness and computer to eliminate some troubleshooting if possible. The challenge I have had is never having had a Rover before and I got this truck with no engine in it, so I didnt take it apart. But I am feeling pretty good about where it is now, hoping to have it fire up by the weekend. Thanks for everyone's help

 

Awesome man! Sounds ready to lube up and fire up! Godspeed, and let us know how it goes!

I just got my AT’s (275/65r18) mounted yesterday. I’m freshening up the front steering components and new front oxygen sensors and will be taking it on the first out of town voyage this weekend. I just rolled over 250 miles on the swap. 🙏🏻

 

Man that is looking killer!!!

Here is another shot in the dark..When I finally got the inertia deal figured out, things in the truck were working fine, including the shift lock for the trans....At some point today, that stopped working. Brake light switch is working and I can hear it clicking the relay but the lock solenoid isnt working...Also, my TCase is in Neutral ( I think) but I cant get it to change gears even with the trans in neutral. I added the Ashcroft CDL shifter and it does the CDL fine. I assume the TCase has a lock down on top of it?

The dash indicator lights up correctly for the gear chosen (if I manually unlock the shifter...). It feels like a blown fuse or something but I dont see any labeled transmission or TCase in the truck or in the engine bay

 

Hi All,

I did the Y out of the main return instead of the 3/4 outlet from the water pump. Is that going to be a problem ?

 

OK found the fuse in the cabin box that was bad and controlling the shift lock....NOW I am left with the TCase stuck in neutral

 

Solenoid was toast. Now I’m free to choose the violence of 4low at freeway speeds. The best part was that I had just finished riveting the shifter plate back in place and installed the console about an hour before I determined the problem. So that was special.
