    Hells yes, and the brakes even work! :thumbsup: I hope to replace the clutch sensor switch tonight to see if that cures my starting and 4wd low issues. If not then I probably have a fried wire somewhere.

    Clearly I'm hopeful that it's just the switch.

    I'm gonna schedule a wheel alignment in the next week or so and then I'll start working on that whole inspection thing. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get the CEL to shut off after bolting up and reconnecting the charcoal canister and sensors. We'll see.

    None for me yet but I will have a wheel alignment soon. ;)

    You gonna be around on the 12th? I figure I'll squeak in just before the Toys for Tots deadline. :thumbsup:

    Freaking cool update tonight.

    Fixed the clutch sensor issue I was having. 2 broken wires behind the clutch now have extensions soldered on them and are reconnected. I can now start my truck without the clutch start cancel switch, but more importantly I can shift into 4x4 low range. :thumbsup:

    Even awesomer update was an unexpected thing. Since pulling the gas tank 2 years ago my Check Engine light has been perpetually on. ScanGauge says the truck's missing a sensor. Well, I dug through my parts bin, found the charcoal canister from the fuel tank, pulled the electronics, hooked up some connections and a vacuum line, cleared the code, and the light is gone! I have a little work to fasten everything permanently in place but I'm 1 step closer to getting this thing inspected!!! :yay:

    Neither yet. I still have to come up with a mod to do to justify an update in this thread.

    I like the idea of painting my jackstands! :thumbsup:

    Got some new parts on order. Since I bent an UCA mounting bolt *again* it's time to reinforce those things with a double-shear mount. I have these coming from Total Chaos:

    [​IMG]

    I just got off the phone with Camburg and have some more parts coming from them. Along with the gussets above, I'm converting my UCAs from urethane bushings to adjustable heim joints on the inner mounts. That'll give me more adjustment to get my alignment right where I need it for racing.

    David Tarantino, you'll be hearing from me soon. :p

    I also have a pair of 2" travel Sway-A-Way air bumps and mount cans coming this week. Once I have those I'll get air bumps installed on all 4 corners of my rig. I had been waiting on a set of Fox bumps but manufacturing delays are holding me up beyond the time I'm willing to wait.

    Last week I ordered replacement leafs from Deaver to fix what I bent offroading. Hopefully those will arrive soon so I can get the rear squared away and be rolling again in short order.

    That's it for now. :)
