    When I was on the phone w/ Casey after rolling into my driveway I checked the battery and it read decent. Then turned the key to on and checked links. Both ends, all prongs checked out basically the same, 12.63~. Then started it up easily and that’s when I saw my dash lights out. Got out and...

    So jumping the gun and ordering the near $100 switch wasn’t the worst idea. It is 36 years old. And I had scoured both battery posts prior to this second stall while driving scenario. Thank you all for the guidance.

    I’m not a heavy key ring person. Two keys and a jump ring and that’s it.

    Hmmm. All were pulled, replaced if necessary and installed. I suppose if they became greasy (because I sucked at some of my reassembly) they might not be making the best contact now.

    Truck rolls. But stalled very similar to in June. No bang… I’m admitting that might have been a misfire or something like that because everything checked out. This time was after going around the church lot 3-4 times, brought the rpm’s up to 2500 and all was fine. Sat at end of their driveway to...

    Idk. Just got the truck up and running again from a bit of a break. Now starting to figure out I’ve got an electrical issue. Thinking maybe ignition switch. Will see about ordering one tomorrow. Thanks for asking tho.

    stuck EGR valve / low vacuum

    I’m no expert but if they don’t move then I’d say the valves are stuck. Would a leak down help diagnose that? Or any chance you have a boroscope? I suppose tho if they really don’t move… you know what you need to do.

    Finally getting back to truck. I’m not speedy. CT weather was awful till this week. Haha… fancy italics! Kid helped me do oil pan and gasket last night. He enjoyed laughing at my holding of the oil pan up w/ my knee and seeing the amount of grease I was getting all over me. At 10 and nearly my...

    I did turn the whole flywheel w/ my hand and didn’t see anything funky.

    Dizzy is clean as the day I installed it. Cap super clean, rotor as well. I need to try the pump arm. Me physically can’t push… if I recall that’s the test, I’m not strong enough. Battery should be good, I’ll verify later. When the truck bogged the gauges also all dropped. I was stepping on...

    My gosh… pump actuator arm not broken. Damn, I really wanted this to be easy. #1 plugs fouled, black w/ gray carbon build up. Thought to try starter after pulling, only a click and then nothing. Proceeded to opening top end which looks great. HB rotates w/ no noise. Rockers move smooth. Pulled...

    Eating now. I’ll get out there. Pissy yellow jacket nest down in my front yard next to my driveway. My own bees cranky. And now I’ve gotta muddle through this w/ my ass pointed at the road. The joys of working in a driveway. At least I’ve got the tent up. Will report back in a bit. Thanks all...

    No smell. It was a bang like something broke. I’m really not happy. Especially because it’s pointed toward the road so everyone can see me flounder. 🤮
