Hey, I’m sorry. Sometimes I can be a real Butthead when I’m trying to make a joke. I just meant a little humor in the current political climate.
I don’t know much about solar cells, but I suspect you were entirely correct.
Don't worry, wasn't thinking that you were. I didn't know if you realized that I was being serious though.
In other note the V8 swap can officially be called done!
Last I posted (about the truck) I think was Tuesday and we just got it running. Wednesday Dad put in a new O2 sensor, but that's all that got done due to various Dr appointments. Thursday while I was at work Dad worked on filling up the other fluids, and got it back on the ground. After work we finished filling up the fluids and took it for first test drive with the V8. Found a loose plug wire which helped a bunch and chocked the rest up to no exhaust and needing to relearn.
Was going to have parents drop it at exhaust shop this morning, but that didn't quite work out as expected. Dad was hurting and had to take one of his good pain pills. I ended up taking the day and getting it there myself, and it was probably a good thing. About a 15 minute drive on interstate and it started out good, but half way it got very unhappy again. Backfiring to the point that we went back with a trailer to pick it up. Also good that I was there because my plan for exhaust didn't go how I wanted and needed some rethinking. Ended up with a 2 into 1 Flowmaster with turn down just ahead of the axle.
What sucks is that I could have driven it home from the shop of AutoZone had done the scanner right. After getting off the interstate on the way to the shop I stopped there to use their scanner. They only showed one code, P0171, Bank one lean. After getting it home I connected my scanner and it also had a P0302 and P0303, that they didn't show me in their computer. Had to be there the first time as truck only moved a mile after the first scan. After getting home I found that the #2 & #3 plug wires were crossed.
Running great now. Next I need to figure out why AC clutch isn't engaging, fix a wheel speed sensor on passenger side, move the tach wire in the cluster, and probably pull the 4x4 bulbs unless I can find another method to disable them.
5pm Edit: Wheel speed sensor appears fixed (new sensor) and it looks like I have a bad low pressure switch on the AC. Power to both sides of AC relay like it should be. Get power to low pressure switch, continuity is good between there and high pressure switch, but I never get 12v to high pressure switch.
Sig is changed, profile is changed, now I just need to figure out how to add the banner. Maybe I need to be in the computer instead of the phone?
