Re: Project: Over My Head

Got insurance & registration. Made an appointment with the exhaust guy. I had to replace the fuel pump to drive the truck down there (spontaneous pump death syndrome, SPDS for short) but got o2 sensors, a balance pipe & side dumps done.
Truck handles pretty vague but stops on a dime and lays a little rubber when I push the skinny pedal. Makes glorious noises, too.
Temps stay at ~200 by the gauge even climbing the ~500 ft hill from town to my house, this at 93*.
Sooo, I think there's a handful of things to straighten out but she's pretty much "there" - and just in time. Baby is due in 4 weeks...
I want to do something with the steering intermediate shaft (aftermarket CPP joints are sloppy already)
Bench seat needs upholstery
The MC seeps from the back seal (annoying, as it's got under 20 miles on it...)
The computer should probably get moved where the heater box is now. I thought under the hood was going to work... not as sure anymore. It gets pretty warm right there.

Someday I'll get pics up but then, not much has changed...
I can drive it, though - and that feels pretty damn good.
