Vacuum hose for the HVAC at the back on the intake would be my first guess

checked it ...under the battery as well . No damages/leaks.



Fan motor is blowing. Fuse #27 blew twice ( harbour freight 10 amp)
then I put another brand 10 amp in and it doesnt blow.
however the actuators in the middle vents dont click/ work.
Defrost is blowing hot and cold.
I changed the ambiente temp sensor as well.

It is probably the actuators.urghh.

At least I fixed my "low coolant" alarm.
With a new reservoir. 97-99 have the sensor molded into the tank so I had to replace it.
I also fixed the driver side window with a new regulator.

+ I bought a new/used truck. Finally a Diesel. I'm not a ford guy but the Powerstroke f250s are awesome.
This one is a 6.0 Turbo with all the "bulletproof" mods. And otherwise all original . I think I got a great deal.
I never had a car payment in my life and couldn't wrap my head arround a payment for a new truck. I have to admit there is some awesome deals for new cars right now.
But I'm more the old fashion guy ...i work and service my own cars so I dint mind a good used one.

So after this build basicly was done I has cooling issues
where my temp went up to 250 and I tried all kinds of fixes. In the end it was the zr1 style spoiler lip + no Airdam.
so let me tell you guys the AIRDAM IS ESSENTIAL FIR COOLING!
And dont put a spoiler on your front without a center opening in the spoiler!.

Still waiting on the Dyno to be ready.
This whole Cirona got crazier and made this whole thing not a focus for now.

i have finally fully wrapped the roof In gloss black
my targa roof is pretty worn out and the clear is pealing or the glass is kinda damaged.
so here it is

Yep the Vortex front and the air dam all the way across (both side and middle) is the way to go for the C5.

Hey guys long time no post.

I am sorry but i am waiting on the Dyno to be ready. this COVID stuff messed up all kinds of things.
Well at least i drive it, now and then around town.
I got a lil creative with some Dip.

Nice you are able to motor around town some - yeah flares should be a good aftermarket score!

I finally got the DYNO tune.
it's real #.
we basically ran out of fuel pump and injector since I use all stock c5 stuff we maxed out @18* timing to be precise there was only a small difference between 16 to 18* timing due to lack of fuel.
but she feels good fora auto c5.
