Thanks!

My office is textured, ceiling painted, LED lights in, and the walls being painted: The master closet is textured, painted, and LED lights in. This room just needs flooring, baseboards, door and trim to be finished: Master bedroom is textured, the ceiling painted, and the walls being...

We've had a lot of spring rain this year so far; another 1-1/4" this past Saturday. Everything is growing like mad; had to pause house construction this afternoon to mow the roof:

Me too! Just bought two, one for my M8000 which some of the original solenoids recently shat the bed, and another for back-up for my 8274.

I'm in the (slow) process of building a house, and doing as much of it as I can myself, but my situation is unique enough that my experience may not be of much use to you. Where we live (rural Texas), there are no permits or inspections, I can do whatever I want on my property. Actually...

Homemade burritos, warmed up over the manifolds (or over a fire if done wheeling for the day).

Unfortunately no, though there were some posted here a long time ago as I remember.

You're welcome. I don't have any pics handy. There is a thread here somewhere that shows the computer with the cover off; you can see where the harness plug connection is soldered in to the circuit board. If you just want to turn the solenoid on with ignition like I did (and not mess with the...

The emission "computer" is well-known for the cold-soldered connections from the harness plug to the circuit board to crack, causing an intermittent open, and hence the circuit to the fuel cut (idle) solenoid to not be completed. @Engineer8000 can repair the computer, or you can try and re-flow...

I don't necessarily consider myself a brake expert, but when I converted my 12/79-build 40 to 4-wheel disc brakes, it needed a proportioning valve, both with the stock master cyl and with the non-ABS FZJ80 master that I am currently running. My rear discs locked up way too soon without one.

Thanks!

Thanks, I will ask and see.

It's a very nice truck, I don't remember many details, sorry. An import obviously. Nice young family that owns it; he may be here on Mud, I don't remember. I believe he bought it that way (with most/all of the work already done).
