    Thats annoying. I thought it would've been the ABS sensors, which I still have all 4 of. Oh well, atleast I still have ABS.

    Yeah all the sensors and wires are good, they were removed for suspension install.

    Obviously, if a float is stuck, this won't solve the issue, but is there a good way to hook up the sender to an aftermarket cluster? Like the holley 12" Dash

    I'm not sure but if the wire is there from the ABS module on manual trucks you would just need to hook it up to the cluster.

    Gotcha. I probably won't mess with it. The holley has a built in speed sensor. Really only cared about the gas tank. Thanks for you help. Ill check the ECU-B fuse tonight.

    I have an oil leak, it's dripping off my crossmember. Don't know where from, but before I beat this thing, the motor should really come back out first. The truck is going to go over to 454 motorsports for him to do his thing and make this thing look like a truck again, but when its back I'll probably pull the motor. I left a lot of room to get to the trans bolts and everything so it should be really really easy. But I'll deal with it later. I just want to drive and enjoy the truck for a while.

    might as well just get a fiberglass or carbon hood to save some weight there are a couple for the 05-11’s

    Hoods are some of the worst weight reduction items. Beyond that, I don't want anything like CF or fiberglass on the hood, mainly because I don't want to deal with hood pins.

    i thought the same thing but my fiber hood is 1/2 the weight and the hood pins on the front corners help a lot when you start driving the truck like what you’ve built it for. You’ll find that your core support will start disintegrating and the hood will start tearing around the latch area too so it’s not just the weight vs the weight of the truck - the lighter hood doesn’t tear itself apart and will be more rigid with pins

    he’s a manual truck so it’s wired from the transfer case not the abs sensors.
