Here's some pics of the radiator and electric fans all mounted up in the core support, I made some brackets to hold it in place. The 98-02 F body fas work nicely behind the Colorado radiator. On a side note I got all the wiring done minus 1 or 2 wires which are for my aftermarket gauge pod I'm going to buy, we tryed to start it but the security light came on steady and nowwe have no fuel! I am goingto buy HP Tuners to get rid of the VATS on the Colorado and the Camaro.

Can the HPTUNERS take VATS out of the body control module, because on mine that's how it's setup.

Ignition-BCM-PCM-Fires injectors and so on...

Well It will be awhile till the next update because I'm leaving today to go to Canfield swap meet, and hopefully I sell enough to buy the HPTuners. Until then......

It's been a while, but here's a small update. My friend Larry cut and welded the header to make it fit, and then he put it in a press and squished the one primary to clear the steering shaft. Plenty of clearance now, both headers are on now. I am going to buy HPtuners next weekend, as that is what is holding me up right now. Until then..........

I bought a push button starter for my truck, as I am bypassing the BCM for this among many other reasons. I got it for $30.00, It is made to fit into the cigarette lighter but I couldn't do that as It is too low on the dash. So I decided to pull the center dash, and I put it in the blank panel next to the traction control button.

I used a dremel to drill the hole out, and the button had to be trimmed down to fit into the factory bezel. All In all I am very happy with this product, It included a relay and all necessary wiring. Now I have to use the factory key to turn the ignition to "ON", and then push the button and hold it till it starts.

So far all the lights work, windshield wipers work. Wednesday I am going to Summit Racing to buy HPtuners so until then................

Here's the link from the seller I bought it from, he is in the United Kingdom and it only took about 10 days to get it. Normally I do not order overseas electronics, but I figured I would give it a try. The only thing I wasn't happy with was it's not lighted, I thought it was when I bought it lol!!! There are some lighted one's on ebay, and even some LED one's but they are from Hong Kong and I've gotten burned too much from that area.

I wired the relay with the starter solenoid wires, one ground, ignition wire, and two wires to the switch. He gives good instructions too...

Nice. Been looking for one for a while for my 91 Camaro since the last owner screwed the harness up pretty bad. Thanks
