It's a age thing really common to see from older fuses. They tend to crack and open up from loads and then cool and make contact again like my cases it did that exactly. Because it ran for about few minutes before fuse opened up again and tripped the check gage light.

Ummm... I'm glad that's not in my neighborhood.

Hey MnTom is there a 6 or 7 hole injector for the 12V??? It would do YabbaDoo better I would think with a nice wide spray pattern.

Don't feel bad... I'm going to be heading out and seeing Hex0rz soon. I'm just going to the truck to Hex0rz place to save on the fuel budget.

Aaaahhh... Aligned? 4WD can only have the toe set. Don't have any tire wear problems so... I must be really really close.

I would pull the regulator and inspect it for damage or sticking of the springs.

I know this site doesn't help the availability of part trucks or even used trucks for sale. I would just leave your name alone...

Also it could be the power steering fluid is breaking down and/or the fluid is getting loaded with debris and plugging up small orifices in the power steering gear box. I would attempt doing a fluid flush and see if it clears up.

Funny how the automatic transmissions have to do so much beefing up for input shafts where manuals really don't require it and do quite well without upgraded input shafts.

Hey Gang... while I was out on my trip to Hot Springs campground with MoparMom the first night we stayed in Emmett, ID. The next morning got up and pick up our stuff in the RV and to go and leave. Jumped in the seat and got half a crank and dead. Popped the hood. Everything appears fine. MoparMom getting worried we are stuck in Emmett, ID. Like I told her don't even sweat it I've diagnosed this a million times. So... 1. Swap starter solenoid relay with trailer relay (Nothing) 2. Swap the Starter solenoid fuse with Engine Control fuse (Start) So I hopped back in the truck and start out and (Ding Ding Ding) and volts fell to zero, and few other gauges died. Hmmm... The fuse I swapped with was most likely the PCM and fuse must be cracked being the cluster worked for a few minutes and died. So since I'm still in Emmett, ID I went over to NAPA walked in with my fuse and bought a new 30A fuse and plugged it in. No biggy. I figure I would share this tidbit with you all so a simple failure doesn't just make you jump for a tow truck but to do some diagnostics first and figure out if you really need that tow truck.

I didn't know to explain it. first off my truck has never seen a alignment ever. But when I would change parts like track bar and ball joints it moved a bit off center so I do just as W&F said twist the drag link a bit (1/4 turns) and test again. Straight as arrow now.

As far as I know 12V is a 5 hole injector stock. Then 24V is a 7 hole stock.

Actually we got to lazy too even hike over there and crawl down the trail. We did go over and look at it but with the weather in the low 90's it was just to hot to go sit in hot water.

Sounds right. I know most one ton's came with either 235/85 R16 or 215/85 R16.

None missing here...

Other way around out here. Before the forest was kept health but selective harvesting and thinning of the forest. Now it too expensive for logging companies to meet the requirements of USFS or BLM so logging has come to nearly a stand still in Idaho nothing like it was 20 years ago. Now USFS has this idea fire is a natural clean up solution. Really???

I think it more of stability than load bearing. Keep the center part of the ceiling from wiggling too much during transit. I wouldn't want to test that roof with any kind of human weight. I would consider adding them back in if they are truly missing.

Hey Gang.... MoparMom and I just got home last night. We ran away from home with the RV. Went down south to Emmett, ID for the first night. Pick up a few things and a new BBQ grill for the RV. Then head back up Hwy 55 and turned off at Banks, ID and went to Hot Springs campground. http://goo.gl/maps/9nFRG Nice campground. Has water and vault toilets. Pull through spots for larger RV's or back in spots as well. There is a small hot spring on the other side of the highway but it a good hike down to it. Solar Power Update As for a good test run for the solar panels and inverter they worked awesome. I flipped on the TV in the hot part of the afternoon and started watching older DVD movies I brought along since there is no TV signal down there. Solar panels kept the batteries charged up to 12.8 volts to 13.2 volts most of the time while watching movies. Even charged up cellphone, cameras, and a laptop. I did figure out that my outlets of the RV are on there own circuit so I could do a bit of wire magic with a SPDT switch and make a transfer switch to power the RV outlet with the inverter and isolate the city power if forgotten which protect the inverter from city power back feed. Water Update We did extremely well with even water. But were getting close to running out of water. MoparMom suggest I go back into Crouch, ID and hit the hardware store and figure out a solution. I did! I've got a anti-freeze connection in the pump cabinet so I got me 3 feet of 1/2" ID vinyl tubing and a brass barbed connector to splice the two piece together. So now I've got a tube long enough to dip into my 5 gallon water jugs I keep as spares in the RV.

It seems that even CR engines are affected by the warmer air.

I just take a small piece of wire an bridge the connector there there is no cut wires.

Fighting a up hill battle... I've got the same problem locally here. Everyone does the same thing and ask for the problem to be fixed but I suggest a better lift pump and a fuel pressure gauge and you get "Hua!?!?"... Truck ran this long without all that. Yeah you might get lucky now but wait till your luck runs out and eating VP44 for lunch on a monthly basis. Then most owner just sell the truck. But yes I would suggest again the fuel pressure gauge.

Still seems to come back to the regulator of the pump is screwing up. Something about the old school method of check ball and spring worked so much better compared to the current method of adjustable regulator.

When dealing with spacers make sure to double check you have enough stud to do the job properly. If not I would re-stud the rear axles with proper length for the spacers.

Yeah I do when I'm the one eating chopped liver....
