The only resond that my trucks not done is it always comes down to money and my project costs a little more than I first thought it was goin too.

Well I got to cut more of the firewall out today to make room for the distributor. So I got the distributor in and the spark plug wires in, also I put the computer in and made a battery mount today. I put 5 gallons of gas in it and filled the radiator up also; just one thing was missing to fire it up. The wires to the coil, I kind of forgot about them so I need to get those wires hopefully on Sunday when crawlerdan and I go to pick-n-pull.

I would like to let everybody know that as of 8:55pm Friday night I was able to fired up my truck and it sounds great, and runs like a champ!

I have to thank crawlerdan for getting my the wires I needed to start up my truck, thanks bud

Sweet man. I was wondering when you'd get this beast running. I'm still planning on making it down your way one of these days to wheel with you and Dan.

How far away are you from getting it driveable?

I still need to adjust the clutch slave cylinder, I can't get it in gear. Also need to put the electric fan on and rout some wires to the ignition. I jump started it last night. Putting some gauges in the cab too before I drive it.

i heard it last night!!!! it sounded like a few cows stuck in a pantry-lots of angry power in a tiny space!!

looks like all he has to do is some electricalk houskeeping and timing adjustment before its front wheel burnout time!@!!!!!

I can't believe I never saw this thread. Nice work.

I love it. Jump-starting is such a glorious starting method.
It also makes for a good show sometimes for the neighbors!

You can even get them involved if you need more speed!

Awesome job!

I was able to time my engine today, it wasn't to far off though. Also got my klune V shifter mounted. Can't do anything else sence the rain came in though, all have to wait

6.72:1 · « **Reply #197 on:** Nov 26, 2006, 03:03:50 PM »

Interesting...I have heard of the Klune-V...what is it?

Folks have recommended it to me and I am not familiar with it....

crawlerdan · « **Reply #198 on:** Nov 26, 2006, 03:52:22 PM »

ever heard of after market bolt on overdrives?? same thing, but its an under drive. it is placed inbetween the tranny and the tcase and acts as a doubler, it has a 1:1 high, and a 2.8?:1 low or 4:1 low
toybuilts is the 2.8 version, its cable operated and can handle nearly infinate torque loads as it is an all billit case with billit gears and hardened shafts....it really is a thing of glory...and worth its weight in gold

just ask toybuilts credit card company

aaron: is it front wheel burn out time??

Well I was able to drive my toy-vie up the street after work tonight. Only got up to second but everything feels good and strong. No leaks either!

rude86 · « **Reply #201 on:** Dec 01, 2006, 11:27:25 PM »

sweet good job man

6.72:1 · « **Reply #202 on:** Dec 02, 2006, 11:27:45 PM »

Excellent. Carry onwards Sir.

toybuilt · « **Reply #203 on:** Dec 05, 2006, 05:24:00 PM »

Well my truck was running fine till this afternoon. The only way I can start it is wide open throttle, and it will not idle anymore

If anyone can think of something as to why that could help, thanks.

Duffil · « **Reply #204 on:** Dec 05, 2006, 08:51:29 PM »

fuel filter plugged, fuel pressure regulator shot? injectors clogged? low fuel pressure?

what kind of filter and fuel pump are you running?

toybuilt · « **Reply #205 on:** Dec 06, 2006, 06:33:55 PM »

Both the fuel filter and pump came with the Howell wiring harness. I now that the filter is a ford. Everthing is new on the engine including all the sincers. It sounds like crap now and it will only run with wide open throttle, sounds like somethings goin to blow up when you do though

crawlerdan · « **Reply #206 on:** Dec 06, 2006, 08:34:22 PM »

check the timing again...things have a tendancy to stretch a little (timing chains)

also check the position of your throtle position sensor as well as your cam and crank sensors

also check that EVERYTHING is grounded properly, computer-motor-ignition-coil-EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL!!!!

this is what was wrong with the runner a while ago, bad grounds

later bro

Grounding is not the problem, neither is the timing. However my dad and I did a diagnosis check on it and it came up as a code 45. A code 45 is the engine is runnig really rich, part of it I beleave is the injectors. The other part could very well be the throttle position sensor. Time will tell, I have a rebuild kit ordered for the injectors, it will be here sometime next week.

Duffil · « **Reply #209 on:** Dec 09, 2006, 01:13:47 PM »

just wondering, is this thing TBI or direct injected?
