well i got my heater core in this morning, and was running great this mornin, now it wont start, its not getting fuel :( my grandpa gave me a bbronoc II/ranger book, so i think its either the low pressure fuel pump in the tank, or the high pressure on in the frame rail. does anyone have any clue to why it is doing this, and what fuel pump is bad?

ok well if anyone cares (since i havent been getting any replies lately) i got my problem worked out. when i wasa putting the heater core cover back on i triggered the inertia switch, therefore causing my problem with not getting fuel

No replies...damn.

Jking, nice score on the lights, I'm thinking about getting a pushbar from the JY for my truck, its on a ranger that has therangerstation.com stickers all over it and mount lights to it.

Speaking of free stuff check out the last page of my build thread to see what I scored for free.

Ya if I had read about your fuel problem sooner I would have suggested the inertia switch.

geez, you got back fast, DEF start hacking up that exhaust, i think you'll come across alot of stuff you dont need. in NC, i only have to VISIBLY have a cat converter and muffler, when i get everything back together i should have a nice smooth running b2.

enjoy your summer, get a job at an autoparts store if you can, it'll make getting parts way easier
