I thought it would be fitting for me to have my 1,000th post in the greatest thread ever

Nice work marky,now let's go wheelin.

$Beer Chug\'n$ Congrats on the post count

Still a long way to go, Just because it makes smoke at idle doesn't mean it's done.

It does not rev yet because that is also controlled by the computer by way of the TPS. I really am not liking the electronics in this case. I would hate to have a failure on a trail and be scratching my head as to what to do about it.

I may be looking for a manual pump.

Well, after tearing his hair out for a while, Mark finally made heads or tails of the wiring diagram he had. He spent all morning and half the afternoon tracing everything down and hooking things up....

Why do I have a craving for spagetti?

...but at approximately 3:36pm EST.. THE MAMMOTH SPRUNG TO LIFE!!!
I took an mpg of it, but Mark will have to post it later.
He's getting the radiator out of the shed to allow it to run for a while longer. I'll take more vid.

better you than me mark,I never have been very good at the electrical part of it.If I can't "see" how it works I can't figure it out.

Keep up the good work

Thanks diane,I just wish everyone else would figure that out.

let's see it!! Is it together for good, or just to get it to fire off?

Cheesemaker · « **Reply #2557 on:** Jul 21, 2007, 01:15:17 PM »

That is quite overwhelming just seeing it all laid out on the floor!

I like to deal with wiring, but I think that is above and beyond my confidence level! I'm glad what wiring I have to do on my truck, isn't that complex!

It totally amazes me that he can figure that all out, and bring it back to life!
Here are a few more pics...

The engine is running in these pics.. can ya hear it? Turn up the speakers VROOOOM VRROOOOOM

You'll just have to take my word for it that that engine sounds SWEET!! The turbo kicks right in!
I dont know how to get the video to our website to link it. Mark will get it later.

The engine is in for good, as far as I know, now it's got to run the wiring and plant the brain I guess.

I know he is so relieved, he was stressing pretty good over that wiring mess! He's Mr. Excitement isn't he?
