BigdaddyDupree · 04-21-2009, 11:53 AM

i think it does

LXtasy · 04-21-2009, 12:13 PM

Like I texted you earlier. Check those grounds and you should be good to go.

Also check the fuel pressure on that regulator. Drop it down to around 5 lbs.

BigdaddyDupree · 04-21-2009, 01:02 PM

BigdaddyDupree · 04-21-2009, 08:58 PM

the abttery checked out good. i voltage dropped all the grounds i could find on the truck. all were good. the one ground was unhooked i hooked it back up. same problem. i unhooked the alternator. same problem. so now im 98 percent sure its the starter.

Tried to save you all that trouble

I'd get the mini starter to move the solenoid farther from the header and wrap that jank.

BigdaddyDupree · 04-21-2009, 09:06 PM

yeah im getting a starter from hal tomorrow. its a high torque mini starter. and ima put that one and i also bought a tail gate for the truck. im gettin it done right

79bluebird · 04-22-2009, 06:42 PM

LXtasy · 04-22-2009, 06:52 PM

He is Eric. At least someone was able to find a good 1st gen tailgate. lol
