Re: 2014 Caprice not conventional build
I have been chipping away at it little by little
Car sill needs work on--
Replacing the OE torque converter with a new ZL1 converter
While replacing the torque converter I'll also be adding a dip stick, Camaro trans pan and filter
Will also be replacing the motor mounts with the " Technico Torque Master billet mounts"
Flickering exterior and dome lights
Drivers door panel has some damage - Not sure what I am going to do
A-Pillar spot light needs to be gone
Trunk and roof have a few holes that need fixing.
NEED to replace both front strut bearings
already Done
Installed Trunk lid liner -- Done
Paint work- temporally done
Driver seat swapped - Done
Fender vents = just ordered hopefully on their wayDone
Spare tire and jack set Done
Windshield washer line fixed Done
Wheels replaced - I hate them steel wheels = I have a lead on some 18 inch Camaro wheels-hopefully it works out. Done
Console needs some work Almost Done
Need to figure out the rear door lock-unlock mechanism. Done
Need to figure out the Bluetooth on the radio. Done
The horn -- Done

Re: 2014 Caprice not conventional build
ZL1 torque converter is IN
Deep Camaro pan is IN
Camaro trans filter is IN
Dip stick tube is IN
Billet motor mounts are IN
Home made torque strap is OUT
Exhaust manifold gaskets are in IN
I Need to sort out the tune as the car is bogging down in 5th and 6th when the converter locks up, I am going to try raising the lock up speed to see how that works. I really see not point in locking up in 6th gear and only going 45 mph. going to raise lock up on 6th to about 64 MPH especially since i have the lock up set to ZERO slip. Let me know what ZERO slip parameters you guys are running.
Thanks
Next on the list
Just ordered swaybar end links.

Which dipstick tube did you use? I hate not having one.

Re: 2014 Caprice not conventional build
the job it self wasn't bad, but now having issues with engine, getting KR all the time even at VERY low part throttle not sure what it is or where its coming from, Tuner already looked at the tune and logs and said "its not the tune" so the hunt is on.
