  1. Where does everyone think I have spare time? 3 days a week 40 hours a week I'm stuck driving back and forth to Ontario, OR to keep MoparMom alive. The chances of me even getting close to Cally right now is so low that be like me winning a billion dollars on the lottery that I don't even play. As for the gun laws and my open carry, I'll continue doing exactly what I've done for the last 5 years or so. I'm not even going to worry about it. Heck, I know of a member on the site that is deeper trouble than I am. Again I'm not even going to worry about it.
  2. Both have carbon fiber syncros.
  3. Not going to even worry about it. Been doing it this long and never had one problem.
  4. Seriously, I wish I would have done this sooner. Wow! I love the front switchback bulbs. Those are totally awesome bright white in parking lamp mode. Turn signal makes them switch to amber and flash normally. Then when done its switches back to white again. Awesome bulbs. Kind of gives this old truck a modern appeal again. Kind of like the halo lighting or modern switch backlight on newer vehicles. The rear red LEDs turned out good and plenty bright. No longer have to think about blown tail lights. These should last a very long time.
  5. Currently got an open spot on my new grille for one...
  6. ECT and IAT values would be helpful. Odometer and amount of miles on the injectors would help. If the injectors are over 100k to 150k miles time to replace them. Poor spray pattern can do weird things and weak pop pressures. Valve guides and valve seals can also create oil smoke which is white. Then bad injectors can cause white smoke too. The difference is the smell of the smoke one smells like raw unburnt fuel and the other smells like oil.
  7. Too much timing. Lack of timing control with the XZT. Try turning XZT OFF and retesting I bet it goes away. Which this points to timing.
  8. All u-joints are different. Rear shaft is different from the front shaft. The axle shafts are different as well. As for me, all the OEM stuff lasted the shortest. I ended up replacing all the OEM u-joints before 50k miles. Ball joints barely lasted 150k miles and failed now my cheap Rock Auto ball joints are going to beat OEM hands down. The only thing that lasted long is the OEM tie rod ends at 350k miles.
  9. Just the fact the lift pump is not coming on while running could be an ECM problem. Lift pump circuit could be damaged in the ECM. no error codes or Wait To Start light issues are needed. I highly suggest you leave the lift pump hooked to the ECM for control. It would really suck to lose your life over a $5 toggle switch. If the truck happens to be in an accident and you unconscious the fuel will continue to pump till someone turns off the pump. The ECM will shut down all fuel and pumps if the engine shuts down suddenly and drop tach signal like Frontal crash.
  10. This post above is the reason I won't do it. I'm not jumping through more hoops just for more fees and BS. What happened to the 2nd Admenment? Open Carry is legal and doesn't require fingerprints, letters, background checks or fees. I've already done it once for Idaho. Enough... Funny I can open carry and requires NOTHING! No permits, no background check, no fees, no nothing. Just holster up your pistol and act normal. All the permit is liberal BS. Meaningless... When open carry requires nothing. If the laws was about the firearms then there would be permits for open carry but there isn't. Make you think. Where I'm supposed to have all this free time to jump through all these hoops? Again just open carry never once had any issues with law enforcement or permits.
  11. Woods doesn't bother much at all. I'm at peace there. I love to just sit on the porch and watch the deer. Even watch bears from a distance which is cool. Check out the elk walking mountainside. Never had much of issue. Just maybe around the house in the dark you might spook the deer and have them snort at you. Still typically got the pistol on me. Normally not an issue. Now the city and all the whacked out drug users and homeless roaming around. Nope. I've already had enough close calls with meth-heads screaming at me. Then knowing the secrets of Ontario, OR like I've already met a few of the key people part of the drug trade down there. Then there are the gays and cross-dressers down there that's another issue in itself. I know more about that town than I should. Once the sun goes down it gets even worse. Yeah I've seen what Ontario turns into after the sun goes down... Not good! After all that nope the pistol stays with me. I've been seen by police in Ontario with my pistol visible and never had one problem. Even talked to local police and Oregon State police, not a problem.
  12. Also, be very clear what tuner your running. Error codes are very helpful for the rebuilder. Being honest with the company helps a bunch too!
  13. Simple no Moog... Buy any other brand. Moog used to be American made now got outsourced to other countries and the quality has gone down. I've got cheap ball joints from Rock Auto and they are going to pass 200k miles soon. U-Joint typically I buy greaseable NAPA u-joints and not had much problem with them. As long as I keep them greased up they last quite a long time. Wheel bearings (Unit Bearings) typically get SKF from NAPA. Don't get suckered into the "Timken" name brand stuff. Most of the front end issues come from oversized tires. I'm one of the odd-ducks that went from 265's to 245's and still to this day have no suspension issues. No need for steering braces, modified track bar, etc. None of that is needed.
  14. Open carry. Period problem solved. Screw all the hoop jumping for another permit.
  15. Be careful. My last pump did exactly that about 8 hours later the pump locked up and blew the fuse again. Not a wiring problem but the pump motor locked up.
  16. Pump could be damaged, froze up, or got gelled fuel. The fuse should never blow. If it is don't wire around the normal system because it not working right. There is a reason why the AirDog blowing the fuse. Typically the motor is locked up some how.
  17. Wait 5 hours for MoparMom to dialysis treatments. During this time get my bicycle ride in and groceries if needed. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I'm here at 11:00am and typical gone by no later than 4:00pm.
  18. That's illegal to carry firearms on school grounds. Yes I still carry daily. So no I cannot ride in that area. No I do not trust people enough not to carry. Really strange people down there.
  19. What I frustrated with is being alone. I'm frustrated with having no control. I'm frustrated with not being able to work a normal job and pay my bills. What would be cool is a local friend called me up and ask if I wanted to go hunting. I've got a 30-06 in my closet rusting away hasn't been fired in over 15 years I've only shot one deer in my life. Heck, I've never even learned how to gut a deer yet. The sad part is first I need a friend before that will happen most have moved away. I would love to get a phone call asking if I wanted to go ATV riding for the weekend. Nope ATV is over 11 years old and sits rusting away. Only used to plow snow here in the yard. I would love to have someone call and say let go camping. Nope. The only thing my RV get used for is base of operations typically for me so I can get out of the truck for a period of time and work on this website more. The RV has not been used for camping in over 3 years now. It would be cool if a had a girlfriend or wife that could help and guide the whole thing. Nope. I'm stuck figuring out this puzzle alone. Even this website frustrates me at time amount of hours I put into research and learning just so I can barely make it. Basically, all I do is fix trucks and fix websites. Go to empty coffee shops for the last 3 years and sit with my laptop working on the websites. Now I've got to let that go for health reason and now ride a bicycle. Again out of my control I would love to ride somewhere else away from traffic and gagging on exhaust from cars. When I get home to make up for the time that riding a bicycle in Ontario, OR working on this website. Basically, 39 to 40 hours a week (750-miles minimum a week) I'm stuck in pickup driving even is the nastiest weather you can think of. Gotta... Mom's life depends on it. The only perk is I'm still alive and so is Mom. Like I know @IBMobile called up on Wednesday night offer to help but right now there is no way. Too much snow, very cold and no way an RV will hold up to near zero temperatures coming. Maybe by spring when it gets here that would be a good plan. But so much can happen between now and then.
  20. Now I've gone to the exterior lighting. The left bulb is a switchback bulb for the front marker / turn signal. It's a white light on parking lamps but amber on the turn signal. Then the bulb on the right is a standard red tail light blub. Both sets are above normal lumens. Front amber https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/tail-brake-turn/3157-switchback-led-bulb-dual-function-60-smd-led-tower-a-type-wedge-retrofit-car/1916/4478/ Rear red https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/tail-brake-turn/3156-3157-ck-led-bulb-dual-function-27-smd-led-tower-wedge-retrofit/3557/7523/
  21. Still gotta wait for the snail mail and get home to get said snail mail.
  22. Yeah, I could of but I need to get it done now. I'm going to be away from home this next week for an extended period. Not to mention the 3% charge in processing credit and debit cards. Typically I would just pick the up in Council, ID but MoparMom kept running late to leave so I couldn't stop to get the tags. MoparMom has a surgery coming this next week and I don't need to hassled by Boise police.
  23. Send the ECM to Auto Computer Specialist they can repair or rebuild that ECM. @Auto Computer Specialist
