What were the biggest issues youve come across during the conversion? Sorry, im new to the site so i havent followed this build
It’s all good. My son really likes it- no issues so far. The only real “issues” were sorting through the wiring to make sure we had all the necessary wiring for the transmission controller, fuel pump and needed ecu-like devices.
He’s put a whopping 180 miles on it so far, no hiccups (knock on wood!).
He loves driving it on a road called Trent. It slices through Spokane and turns into a country highway pretty quickly, leaving the city behind, two lanes, 50 mph, not much traffic if you avoid rush hour. Every time he come home from school/sports, the gym, or elsewhere, he’ll have a story about someone giving him a thumbs up. Pretty cool.
