Made it home yesterday evening, but not with a slight adventure.
Since the gas gauge isn't reading right, I thought I had more fuel in the tank from looking inside the fill hole than what i actually did.
Ran out of gas 2 miles from the restaurant I was planning to meet my parents for dinner at. Got some gas, enjoyed some food, made it home.

Today, I got a chance to put my birthday present from last month together. My many years of Lego sets paid off.

Also diagnosed why my Dakota wouldn't start after I parked it back when I brought Frankentruck to Milly.
I had power to the starter wire, power to the solenoid wire with key turned to start. I flipped all the relays around to make sure, but still nothing.
Finally, I pulled back tbe blue, rubber cover over the wire from the solenoid to the starter motor and found a bunch of corrosion on the wire. Cleaned that, and the bendix started clicking, but wouldn't engage. Wacked it a couple times with a hammer and sure enough, she started right up again. Going to keep that hammer in the truck for a while, just in case
