    :censored::rant::censored::mad::frusty:

    So...I got my front end back together yesterday afternoon. I went out there a few minutes ago to move the OGT to let the suspension settle and see if I needed to tweak the toe and...she won't fire up. Starter works fine, good and strong. She's just not firing off. So I either have a fuel or an ignition issue. I hope to hell it's not the fuel pump because she has a full tank of gas. She ran fine when I parked her there. Guess I'm going to start by checking fuses.

    I just can't catch a break no how. :pout:

    Update...well, evidently, it was a bad connection on one of the fuses. I pulled all the EFI and OBD fuses and the EFI relay to check them. They were all fine. However, after they were all back in, I tried to see if she'd fire off and she did. I'm hoping it was just some corrosion on the terminals.

    However, I've still got play in the steering. :( I think the passenger side tie rod is toast too. It was just hard to tell with all the play in the drivers side. Gonna have to pop the boot off and check it physically.

    Alrighty. This is driving me nuts. So...I popped the boot of the passenger side of the steering rack and wiggled the tire. Sure enough, that tie rod was toast too. After the experience I had warrantying the other side, I decided to take it out and put the best looking one of the original tie rods (that I happened to keep for some reason) and see what happened. Turns out it was a LOT better--not perfect, but good enough that I'm gonna run it like that for Citrus. Gonna see if Rockauto will warranty this one and then credit me for a different brand. One, I can see being defective, but both of them being that sloppy after only one trip to Ocala is effin' ridiculous no matter how rough I was on the truck.

    So anyway, hopefully, all I have left to do is get it aligned, change the gear oil in the front diff, paint the skid and put it back on. :pray:
