just pull out the 2 connectors from the box and plug them into each other. also, there wasn't likely anything wrong with your motor.

I appreciate the suuggestion, but between the 2 new meds I have that cause drowsiness and my prior health issues needing a literal pick-me-up med, I try to avoid anything that might relax me any further.

that's hilarious

looks good! only guys obsessed with these trucks like us will ever notice that it's not an MJ unit.

bypass the brain box before you do anything else. if you suddenly get low and high working correctly, then you'll need to replace the box. then go about doing the rewire and re-bushing of the motor and linkage.

I hate these meds. waking up is... hard.

did you grab some studs yet?

these stupid meds make waking up very challenging. but don't worry, I already sent him a message.

sentimental reasons are the best reasons.

that is exactly where it goes.

definitely looks like an AAL in there where there are 2 leafs of the same length on top of each other. the part in the second image is the Ubolt support bit that goes underneath of everything and inside the shock mount bracket. it was done away with in the later years when they simply thickened up the shock mount bracket. it can be slightly warped and still do its job perfectly well.

have someone rev the hot engine while you take a peek underneath. I didn't realize mine had gotten so bad until I ran it down to about a quart after a single long highway drive. by then it was easy to see oil dripping while idling.

I've seen so many pennies there over the years that it might have been stock. just use 1991 or older pennies do the wiring upgrades to the motors first (because you should be doing it anyways). then I would pull the brain box out and see what happens (should retain low and high). then work on the stalk.

all walmart saw was a guy limping with a cane. knee brace on one side and ace bandage on the other. tip: use the very top of the onion rather than a middle slice to the bandage isn't saturated with juice.

dang, that's a lot of onion slices.

I prefer to see the body count rather than risk letting them escape out a secondary hole or something. the trap consists of a 2 liter bottle with the top cut off and inverted and then the assembly is tapped together. it's just a funnel where they fly up and into the bottle, but can't find the way back out.

was out in the corner of the yard and felt a sharp sting on my ankle. looked down and discovered a poor ground wasp that got stuck between my sock and the top of my shoe and freaked out and stung me. I freed her and waddled back to the house to grab some onion to strap to my ankle. now pain free, I waddled back out to see if this was a random encounter or if I stumbled upon a ground nest. turned out to be the latter, so I constructed my first trap and stuck it over the hole. we shall see how many bodies I can collect. the last hole produced many hundreds. side note, I might be the first ever to walk into a walmart with onion strapped to his body.

just wanted to make sure that bit of the frame is stronger than stock. I've seen stock truck develop cracks between the steering and trackbar.

it's complicated. stations can charge as much or as little as they want and so competition amongst themselves tends to be the big driving factor in those last 20-30 cents. in town around here is always cheaper than the boonie stations. there's just more competition in town. but there's mroe to location than that. if you drive to one of the more pricey neighborhoods near atlanta, the price goes up. then drive a few miles to a less-well-off neighbor hood and the price comes down. it's complicated.

someone needs to actually check to confirm, but I think idle should be more like 700-750.

the "penny trick" is a common practice.

nice always want to take that picture with one of my rigs.

love it! how do you get in? is there a ladder attachment or do you just climb up the tire?
