Congrats on the payoff and getting your head back right (as right as anyone in this hobby anyway)!

Started tinkering, hated the fill tube i installed years ago works good for filling, but no easy way to check fluid level.
Thought about a sight tube, then decided against it.
205 is clocked flat, came up with and idea of using the lexan had laying around, made a window filled case with a little over 2.5 quarts. Scribbed a line transfered that to the metal side plate.
Still need to fined a plug, might order or make a magnect drain plug.

see i am currently have this debate with myself as we speak. if i ask the web they all say term x. but if ask another group of people , hot rodders or what ever they run factory something or other. its a toss up

Yep, we have both already but reading on the web has us second guessing either of the 2. We know both will need to be tuned.

i have fitech in current buggy. it just works. some hate on it. i dont. its self learning and from what i read about term x it is also self learning. so getting tuned may not be that big of a deal honestly.
on my fitech i gave it the engine infor that it asked for when i turned on the computer and then it just worked.

so with this logic i may try term x next

Seems like one needs to run TermX and one run the factory harness and then report back to us :dblthumb:

ok since i all ready got a factory ecu and this is your thread guess you get to do term x

might be a bit. Well longer story is i have both, sons wanting to LS swap either a 85 square chevy with a Sm465 4 speed. That he got from me cheap!
Or a 2000 1500 4.3 auto my dad bought new an gave it to him. I own the the terminator X and also a stripped harness an ecu. For the s10
So what should i sale him cheap,
